RADIATOR
DESCRIPTION
The radiator is a cross-flow type (horizontal tubes)
with design features that provide greater strength
along with sufficient heat transfer capabilities to
keep the engine satisfactorily cooled. The radiator
has plastic side tanks and aluminum cooling tubes.
OPERATION
The radiator functions as a heat exchanger, using
air flow across the exterior of the radiator tubes. This
heat is then transferred from the coolant and into
the passing air.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect negative cable from battery.
(2) Remove radiator upper crossmember support.
(Refer to 23 - BODY/EXTERIOR/GRILLE OPENING
REINFORCEMENT - REMOVAL)
WARNING: DO NOT REMOVE THE CYLINDER
BLOCK PLUG OR THE RADIATOR DRAINCOCK
WITH THE SYSTEM HOT AND UNDER PRESSURE
BECAUSE SERIOUS BURNS FROM COOLANT CAN
OCCUR.
(3) Drain the cooling system. (Refer to 7 - COOL-
ING - STANDARD PROCEDURE)
(4) Remove the radiator fans. (Refer to 7 - COOL-
ING/ENGINE/RADIATOR FAN - REMOVAL)
(5) Disconnect coolant reserve/recovery hose.

AUDIO
DESCRIPTION
There are four different system combinations avail-
able on this model. The available radio options are:
²AM/FM Cassette
²AM/FM Compact Disc with Compact Disc
changer controls
²AM/FM Cassette with single Compact Disc
Player and Compact Disc changer controls
²AM/FM Cassette with Compact Disc changer
controls
²AM/FM Cassette with Compact Disc player, rear
seat audio system and Compact Disc changer con-
trols.
The rear seat audio system allows passengers to
listen to a different music source, through head-
phones, other than what is playing through the vehi-
cles speaker system. A remote control is provided for
functions such as changing stations, tracks, disc and
modes while listening to rear seat audio. The radiomust be turned ON to use the rear seat audio sys-
tem.
All factory installed radio receivers are stereo Elec-
tronically Tuned Radios (ETR) and include and elec-
tronic digital clock function.
OPERATION
Operating instructions for the factory installed
audio systems can be found in the Owner's Manual
provided with this vehicle.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - AUDIO
Any diagnosis of the Audio system should
begin with the use of the DRB IIItdiagnostic
tool. For information on the use of the DRB
IIIt, refer to the appropriate Diagnostic Service
Manual.
Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The
wiring information includes wiring diagrams, proper
wire and connector repair procedures, details of wire
harness routing and retention, connector pin-out

REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Lower headliner as necessary to access
antenna module (Fig. 5).
(3) Disconnect antenna coax cable lead and electri-
cal harness connector from antenna module.
(4) Disconnect the antenna module connector from
the quarter glass.
(5) Remove the mounting screw and the antenna
module.
INSTALLATION
(1) Install the antenna module and the mounting
fastener.
(2) Connect the antenna connector to the quarter
glass.
(3) Connect the antenna lead and electrical con-
nector to the antenna module.
(4) Raise and install headliner.
(5) Connect the battery negative cable.
CD CHANGER
DESCRIPTION
The 4 Disc In-Dash CD Changer (if equipped) is
located in the instrument panel below the radio. The
remote changer does not use a cartridge or magazine
for the CD's. Up to 4 CD's can be directly loaded into
this unit.
OPERATION
Due to its compact design, the CD changer can
carry out only one operation at a time. For example,you can not load a new disc while playing another at
the same time. Each operation happens sequentially.
The radio unit provides control over all features of
the CD changer with the exception of the CD load
and eject functions, which are controlled by buttons
located on the front of the CD changer. All features
you would expect, such as Disc Up/Down, Track
Up/Down, Random and Scan are controlled by the
radio, which also displays all relevant CD changer
information on the radio display.
The CD changer contains a Load/Eject button and
an indicator LED for each of the four disc positions
as well as an illuminated disc opening. The individ-
ual LED indicates whether a CD is currently loaded
in that particular chamber of the CD changer. Press-
ing the individual Load/Eject button for a particular
chamber will eject a disc currently present in that
chamber. If the chamber is currently empty, actuat-
ing the Load/Eject button will position that chamber
to receive and load a new disc in that chamber.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Remove screws holding CD changer.
(3) Disconnect the wire connector from the back of
the CD changer.
(4) Remove the CD changer from the vehicle (Fig.
6).
INSTALLATION
(1) Reconnect the wire connector to the CD
changer.
(2) Insert the CD changer into the instrument
panel.

QUARTER GLASS INTEGRAL
ANTENNA - EXPORT
DESCRIPTION
The quarter glass integral antenna element is
bonded to the right rear quarter glass and is replaced
with the glass assembly only (Fig. 7).
OPERATION
The integral antenna receives RF (Radio Frequen-
cies) and sends them to the antenna module for
amplification.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - QUARTER GLASS
INTEGRAL ANTENNA - EXPORT
The antenna grid pattern is divided into two sepa-
rate patterns. Each terminal connects to a separate
grid pattern, one for AM and the other for FM.
For circuit descriptions and diagrams, refer to the
appropriate wiring information. The wiring informa-
tion includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and con-
nector repair procedures, details of wire harness
routing and retention, connector pin-out information
and location views for the various wire harness con-
nectors, splices and grounds. To detect breaks in the
integral antenna elements, the following procedure is
required:
(1) Disconnect the antenna module connector from
the antenna terminals on the glass.
(2) Using an ohmmeter, place a lead on one of the
terminals and check each end of the grid pattern con-
nected to this terminal for continuity. If continuity is
not present, move one lead through the grid in pro-
gression starting at the terminal with the other lead
on the terminal until continuity is lost. Repeat pro-
cedure for the other terminal. A break in the antenna
grid can be repaired using a Mopar Rear Window
Defogger Repair Kit (Part Number 4267922) or
equivalent. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/HEATED
GLASS/WINDSHIELD GRID - STANDARD PROCE-
DURE).

REMOTE SWITCHES
DESCRIPTION
A remote radio control switch option is available on
some models. Two rocker-type switches are mounted
on the back (instrument panel side) of the steering
wheel spokes (Fig. 10). The switch on the left spoke
is the seek switch and has seek up, seek down, and
preset station advance functions. The switch on the
right spoke is the volume control switch and has vol-
ume up, and volume down functions. The switch on
the right spoke also includes a ªmodeº control that
allows the driver to sequentially select AM radio, FM
radio, cassette player, CD player or CD changer (if
equipped).
OPERATION
These switches are resistor multiplexed units that
are hard-wired to the Body Control Module (BCM)
through the clockspring. The BCM sends the proper
messages on the Programmable Communications
Interface (PCI) data bus network to the radio
receiver. For diagnosis of the BCM or the PCI data
bus, the use of a DRB IIItscan tool and the proper
Diagnostic Procedures manual are recommended. For
more information on the operation of the remote
radio switch controls, refer to the owner's manual in
the vehicle glove box.

(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable. Wait two minutes for the airbag system capac-
itor to discharge before further service.
(2) Remove the remote radio switch(es) from the
steering wheel. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/AUDIO/
REMOTE SWITCHES - REMOVAL).
(3) Use an ohmmeter to check the switch resis-
tance as shown in the Remote Radio Switch Test
table (Fig. 11).
