NOTE: Take care to locate the lower hinge assem-
bly on the door in its original position (ie. match
screw washer with rings left on hinge). Adjust door
fit if required.

WIRING HARNESS
DESCRIPTION
The wire harness supplies power (12v), ground and
various electrical signals to the side sliding door for
various power door functions. A plastic chain or wir-
ing track covers the wire harness assembly (Fig. 16)
and is used to protect the wire harness from abrasion
and/or tangling. This wiring track is replaced with
the wire harness assembly.
The wire harness assembly is a replaceable compo-
nent. Consult your Mopar parts catalog for specific
part numbers.
OPERATION
The wire harness and plastic wiring track provide
a safe and reliable means of supplying power, ground
and other various electrical connections to the side
sliding door. During sliding door movement the wir-
ing track folds and unfolds like the links in a chain.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the negative battery
cable.
(2) Remove the appropriate door trim panel from
the sliding side door. Refer to the Body section for
the procedure.
(3) Remove the lower drive unit cover retaining
screws and remove the cover (Fig. 17).
(4) Disconnect the power side door electrical con-
nector, located just behind the lower drive unit
assembly.
(5) Disengage retaining pushpin and pull wire har-
ness away from its power side door mounting loca-
tion (Fig. 16).
(6) Using a flat bladed screwdriver, unsnap the
wire harness retaining clip from the lower drive unit.
(7) Slide the wire harness off the forward lower
drive unit stud.
(8) Using a pushpin removal tool, unsnap wire
harness retaining pushpins from the rocker panel.

FLEX DRIVE
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with a power sliding side door
utilize a flex drive assembly. The flex drive assembly
is located in the lower portion of the door (Fig. 18)
and is used to connect the door motor to the lower
drive unit. An E-clip is used to secure the flexdrive to
the motor assembly, while the flex drive collar is
used to secure the drive to the lower drive unit. The
flex drive assembly is basically a flexible drive shaft
for the power side door system.
The flex drive assembly is a replaceable compo-
nent. Consult your Mopar parts catalog for specific
part numbers.

CAUTION: Do not disconnect the switch from the
rear of the door key cylinder. This switch is a one
time use switch. Once it is removed from the rear of
the switch, it is not reusable and must be replaced.
Test the switch at the harness connector.

(6) Verify system operation.
DOOR LOCK MOTOR
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - DOOR LOCK
MOTOR
Verify battery condition before testing door lock
motor(s) (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/BATTERY SYS-
TEM/BATTERY - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).
To determine which motor is faulty, check each
individual door for electrical lock and unlock or dis-
connect the motor connectors one at a time, while
operating the door lock switch. In the event that
none of the motors work, the problem may be caused
by a shorted motor or a bad switch. Disconnecting
the defective motor will allow the others to work.To test an individual door lock motor, disconnect
the electrical connector from the motor. To lock the
door, connect a 12 volt power source to the positive
pin of the lock motor and a ground wire to the other
pin. Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The
wiring information includes wiring diagrams, proper
wire and connector repair procedures, further details
on wire harness routing and retention, as well as
pin-out and location views for the various wire har-
ness connectors, splices and grounds. To unlock the
door reverse the wire connections at the motor pin
terminals. If these results are NOT obtained, replace
the motor.
DOOR LOCK SWITCH
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - DOOR LOCK
SWITCH
(1) Remove door trim panel. Refer to Body, Door -
Front, Trim Panel, Removal and Installation.
(2) Disconnect wire connector from back of door
lock switch.
(3) Depress switch to LOCK position.
(4) Using an ohmmeter, test switch resistance
between Pins 2 and 3. Refer to the DOOR LOCK
SWITCH CONTINUITY test and (Fig. 2).
(5) Depress switch to UNLOCK position.
(6) Test resistance between Pins 2 and 3.
(7) Test resistance between pins 2 and 3 while
switch is in its normal unactuated mode.
(8) If resistance values are not within the param-
eters shown replace the door lock switch.

REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY
MODULE
DESCRIPTION
The RKE module is capable of retaining up to four
different Vehicle Access Codes.
OPERATION
Whenever the vehicle battery power is interrupted
the RKE Module will retain all vehicle access codes
in its memory. When replacing or adding a key fob
transmitter (maximum 4) a DRB IIItscan tool is
required to program the RKE Module to accept the
new Vehicle Access Code if a customer owned trans-
mitter is not available. Refer to Electrical, Remote
Keyless Entry Module, Standard Procedure - Pro-
gramming RKE Module or the Proper Body Diagnos-
tic Procedures manual.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - REMOTE KEYLESS
ENTRY MODULE
Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The
wiring information includes wiring diagrams, proper
wire and connector repair procedures, further details
on wire harness routing and retention, as well as
pin-out and location views for the various wire har-
ness connectors, splices and grounds. Refer to the
proper Body Diagnostic Procedures Manual for test-
ing the Remote Keyless Entry system using a DRB
IIItscan tool. Also refer to other interrelated sys-
tems groups within this manual:
²Vehicle Theft Security System
²Power Seats
²Power Mirrors
STANDARD PROCEDURE - PROGRAMMING
RKE MODULE
(1) Using a functional key fob transmitter, unlock
the vehicle and disarm the Vehicle Theft Security
System.
(2) Insert ignition key into the ignition switch.
(3) Turn the ignition switch to RUN position with-
out starting engine.
(4) Using a functional key fob transmitter, press
and hold the UNLOCK button for a minimum five
seconds (maximum ten seconds).
(5) While still holding UNLOCK button, and
before ten seconds passes, press the PANIC button
and release both at the same time. A single chime
will sound to verify that the RKE module is set to
receive the new Vehicle Access Code(s).
(6) Within 30 seconds of the chime, press and
release the ªLOCKº and ªUNLOCKº buttons on the
transmitter at the same time. Then press and release
any one of the buttons. The BCM will sound anabbreviated chime to acknowledge that the program-
ming of the transmitter has been completed and was
successful.
(7) Repeat step 6 for all transmitters that will be
used with this vehicle (up to 4 total).
(8) Programming mode will last for 30 seconds. To
get out of programming mode sooner, turn the igni-
tion OFF. A single chime will sound to verify that the
RKE module will no longer accept additional Vehicle
Access Code(s).
(9) When Vehicle Access Code(s) programming is
complete, turn the ignition switch to the OFF posi-
tion and verify RKE system operation using each key
fob.
NOTE:
Only the two key fob transmitters that have been
programmed to the memory seat and mirror system
will operate it. If any key fob is replaced, the mem-
ory seat and mirror module will require program-
ming. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER SEATS -
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Remove instrument panel top cover (Refer to
23 - BODY/INSTRUMENT PANEL/INSTRUMENT
PANEL TOP PAD - REMOVAL).
(3) Remove screws holding RKE module to instru-
ment panel.
(4) Disconnect wire connector from RKE module
(Fig. 4).
(5) Remove the RKE module from vehicle.
