2002 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE turn signal wiring diagram

See the owner's manual in the vehicle glove box for
more information on the features, use and operation
of the power lock system.
OPERATION - REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY
SYSTEM
The Passenger Door Module (PDM) contains the
RKE system control logic and the RKE receiver.
When the RKE receiver recognizes a Lock, Unlock or
Panic message from a valid RKE transmitter, the
RKE receiver provides that input to the PDM. The
PDM circuitry and programming responds by sending
the proper messages to the other electronic modules
over the Programmable Communications Interface
(PCI) data bus.
When an RKE lock message is received, the doors
and the liftgate lock, the interior lighting fades to off,
the horn chirps (if this feature is enabled), the exte-
rior lamps flash (if this feature is enabled) and, if the
vehicle is so equipped, the Vehicle Theft Security
System (VTSS) is armed. When an RKE unlock mes-
sage is received, the driver side front door (or all
doors and the liftgate if this feature is enabled)
unlock, the interior lighting is turned on and, if the
vehicle is so equipped, the VTSS is disarmed. If the
vehicle is equipped with the Memory System and the
RKE Linked to Memory feature is enabled, the RKE
unlock message also recalls the driver seat, outside
mirror and radio settings assigned to the RKE trans-
mitter that sent the unlock signal.
When an RKE panic message is received, it causes
the exterior lamps (including the headlights) to flash,
and the horn to pulse for about three minutes, or
until a second panic message is received. A vehicle
speed of about 24 kilometers-per-hour (15 miles-per-
hour) will also cancel the panic event.
See the owner's manual in the vehicle glove box for
more information on the features, use and operation
of the RKE system.
OPERATION - LIFTGATE FLIP-UP GLASS
POWER RELEASE SYSTEM
When the liftgate mounted flip-up glass release
switch is depressed, battery current is directed to the
electric release motor that is integral to the flip-up
glass latch located inside the liftgate. When the
release motor is energized the latch releases and the
flip-up glass can be opened. A liftgate flip-up glass
limit switch is integral to the liftgate latch actuator
mechanism. The limit switch automatically enables
or disables the liftgate flip-up glass power release cir-
cuitry, depending upon the position of the liftgate
latch lock mechanism. When the liftgate latch is
unlocked, the limit switch closes and battery current
is available at the release switch. When the liftgatelatch is locked , the limit switch opens, and the
release switch is disabled.
See the owner's manual in the vehicle glove box for
more information on the features, use and operation
of the liftgate flip-up glass power release system.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - POWER LOCK
SYSTEM
Following are tests that will help to diagnose the
hard wired components and circuits of the power lock
system. However, these tests may not prove conclu-
sive in the diagnosis of this system. In order to
obtain conclusive testing of the power lock system,
the Programmable Communications Interface (PCI)
data bus network and all of the electronic modules
that provide inputs to, or receive outputs from the
power lock system components must be checked.
The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to
diagnose the power lock system requires the use of a
DRBIIItscan tool and the proper Diagnostic Proce-
dures manual. The DRBIIItscan tool can provide
confirmation that the PCI data bus is functional, that
all of the electronic modules are sending and receiv-
ing the proper messages on the PCI data bus, and
that the power lock motors are being sent the proper
hard wired outputs by the door modules for them to
perform their power lock system functions.
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
information and location views for the various wire
harness connectors, splices and grounds.
PRELIMINARY DIAGNOSIS
As a preliminary diagnosis for the power lock sys-
tem, note the system operation while you actuate
both the Lock and Unlock functions with the power
lock switches and with the Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) transmitter. Then, proceed as follows:
²If the entire power lock system fails to function
with either the power lock switches or the RKE
transmitter, check the fused B(+) fuse in the Power
Distribution Center. If the fuse is OK, proceed to
diagnosis of the door modules. (Refer to 8 - ELEC-
TRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES/
DOOR MODULE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).
²If the power lock system functions with both
power lock switches, but not with the RKE transmit-
ter, proceed to diagnosis of the Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) system. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER
LOCKS - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - REMOTE
KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM).

POWER LOCKS (Continued)

²If the power lock system functions with the RKE
transmitter, but not with one or both power lock
switches, proceed to diagnosis of the door modules.
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CON-
TROL MODULES/DOOR MODULE - DIAGNOSIS
AND TESTING).
²If the driver side power lock switch operates
only the driver side front door power lock motor, but
all other power lock motors operate with the passen-
ger side power lock switch or the RKE transmitter,
use a DRBIIItscan tool and the appropriate diagnos-
tic information to diagnose the Programmable Com-
munications Interface (PCI) data bus.
²If only one power lock motor fails to operate
with both power lock switches and the RKE trans-
mitter, proceed to diagnosis of the power lock motor.
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER LOCKS/POWER
LOCK MOTOR - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - REMOTE KEYLESS
ENTRY SYSTEM
Following are tests that will help to diagnose the
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system. However, these
tests may not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of
this system. In order to obtain conclusive testing of
the RKE system, the Programmable Communications
Interface (PCI) data bus network and all of the elec-
tronic modules that provide inputs to, or receive out-
puts from the RKE system components must be
checked.
The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to
diagnose the RKE system requires the use of a
DRBIIItscan tool and the appropriate diagnostic
information. The DRBIIItscan tool can provide con-
firmation that the PCI data bus is functional, that all
of the electronic modules are sending and receiving
the proper messages on the PCI data bus, and that
the RKE receiver is being sent the proper radio fre-
quency signals by the RKE transmitters to perform
its RKE system functions.
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
information and location views for the various wire
harness connectors, splices and grounds.
PRELIMINARY DIAGNOSIS
As a preliminary diagnosis for the RKE system,
note the system operation while you perform both the
Lock and Unlock functions with the power lock
switches and with the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter. Then, proceed as follows:
²If the entire power lock system fails to function
with either the power lock switches or the RKE
transmitter, check the fused B(+) fuse in the PowerDistribution Center. If the fuse is OK, proceed to the
diagnosis for the door modules. (Refer to 8 - ELEC-
TRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES/
DOOR MODULE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).
²If the power lock system functions with both
power lock switches, but not with the RKE transmit-
ter, proceed to the diagnosis for the RKE transmitter.
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER LOCKS/RE-
MOTE KEYLESS ENTRY TRANSMITTER - DIAG-
NOSIS AND TESTING).
²If the driver side power lock switch operates
only the driver side front door power lock motor, but
all other power lock motors operate with the passen-
ger side power lock switch or the RKE transmitter,
use a DRBIIItscan tool and the appropriate diagnos-
tic information to diagnose the Programmable Com-
munications Interface (PCI) data bus.
If the problem being diagnosed involves only the
Sound Horn on Lock or the Flash Lights with Locks
features, be certain that these programmable fea-
tures are enabled. If the features are enabled and the
service horn and turn signals still operate, the Body
Control Module (BCM) and the PCI data bus must be
tested. For diagnosis of the BCM or the PCI data
bus, the use of a DRBIII scan tool and the appropri-
ate diagnostic information are required.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - LIFTGATE FLIP-UP
GLASS POWER RELEASE SYSTEM
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
information and location views for the various wire
harness connectors, splices and grounds.
(1) Check the fused B(+) fuse in the Junction
Block (JB). If OK, go to Step 2. If not OK, repair the
shorted circuit or component as required and replace
the faulty fuse.
(2) Check for battery voltage at the fused B(+) fuse
in the JB. If OK, go to Step 3. If not OK, repair the
open fused B(+) circuit to the Power Distribution
Center (PDC) as required.
(3) Disconnect the liftgate wire harness connector
for the liftgate lock motor and flip-up glass limit
switch from the motor and switch connector recepta-
cle. Check for battery voltage at the fused B(+) cir-
cuit cavity of the liftgate wire harness connector for
the liftgate lock motor and flip-up glass limit switch.
If OK, go to Step 4. If not OK, repair the open fused
B(+) circuit between the liftgate lock motor and
flip-up glass limit switch and the JB as required.
(4) Check for continuity between the two liftgate
flip-up glass limit switch terminals. There should be
continuity with the liftgate latch unlocked, and no
continuity with the latch locked. If OK, go to Step 5.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - POWER LOCK
MOTOR
Remember, the Driver Door Module (DDM) cir-
cuitry controls the output to the driver side front
door power lock motor. The Passenger Door Module
(PDM) circuitry controls the output to the power lock
motors for the remaining doors and the liftgate.
Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The wir-
ing information includes wiring diagrams, proper
wire and connector repair procedures, details of wire
harness routing and retention, connector pin-out
information and location views for the various wire
harness connectors, splices and grounds.
(1) Check each power lock motor for correct opera-
tion while moving the power lock switch to both the
Lock and Unlock positions. If all of the power lock
motors are inoperative, go to Step 2. If one power
lock motor is inoperative, go to Step 3.
(2) If all of the power lock motors except the driver
side front door are inoperative, the problem may be
caused by one shorted motor. Disconnecting a shorted
power lock motor from the power lock circuit will
allow the good power lock motors to operate. Discon-
nect the wire harness connector from each PDM-con-
trolled power lock motor, one at a time, and recheck
both the lock and unlock functions by operating the
power lock switch. If all of the PDM-controlled power
lock motors are still inoperative after the above test,
check for a short or open circuit between the power
lock motors and the PDM. If disconnecting one power
lock motor causes the other motors to become func-
tional, go to Step 3 to test the power lock motor that
was last disconnected.
(3) Once it is determined which power lock motor
is inoperative, that motor can be tested as follows.
Disconnect the door or liftgate wire harness connec-
tor from the inoperative power lock motor. Apply 12
volts to the lock and unlock driver circuit cavities of
the power lock motor connector to check its operation
in one direction. Reverse the polarity to check the
motor operation in the opposite direction. If OK,
repair the shorted or open circuits between the lock
motor and the DDM or PDM as required. If not OK,
replace the faulty power lock motor.
POWER LOCK SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The power lock motors are controlled by a two-way
momentary switch mounted on the trim panel of each
front door. Each power lock switch is illuminated by
a Light-Emitting Diode (LED) that is integral to the
switch paddle.
The driver side front door power lock switch is
integral to the Driver Door Module (DDM), and the
passenger side front door power lock switch is inte-
gral to the Passenger Door Module (PDM). The
power lock switches and their lamps cannot be
adjusted or repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the
entire DDM or PDM unit must be replaced. (Refer to
8 - ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL MOD-
ULES/DOOR MODULE - DESCRIPTION).
OPERATION
The front door power lock switches provide a lock
and unlock signal to the door module circuitry. The
Driver Door Module (DDM) circuitry controls the out-
put to the driver side front door power lock motor,
while the Passenger Door Module (PDM) circuitry
controls the output to the passenger side front door,
both rear door and the liftgate power lock motors.
When the DDM-integrated power lock switch is
actuated, the DDM circuitry sends control outputs to
the driver side front door power lock motor and sends
a message to the PDM over the Programmable Com-
munications Interface (PCI) data bus to control the
output to the passenger side front door, both rear
door and the liftgate power lock motors. When the
PDM-integrated power lock switch is actuated, the
PDM circuitry sends control outputs to the passenger
side front door, both rear door and the liftgate power
lock motors and sends a message to the DDM over
the Programmable Communications Interface (PCI)
data bus to control the output to the driver side front
door power lock motor.
Each power lock switch is illuminated by a Light-
Emitting Diode (LED) when the ignition switch is
turned to the On position. See the owner's manual in
the vehicle glove box for more information on the fea-
tures, use and operation of the power lock switches.

DESCRIPTION - OUTSIDE REAR VIEW MIRROR
An automatic dimming outside rear view mirror is
an available factory-installed option for the driver
side of the vehicle, if the vehicle is also equipped
with the automatic day/night inside rear view mirror.
The automatic dimming outside mirror is completely
controlled by the circuitry of the automatic day/night
inside rear view mirror. The automatic dimming out-
side mirror will automatically change the reflectance
of the driver side outside rear view mirror to protect
the driver from the unwanted headlight glare of
trailing vehicles while driving at night. The auto-
matic dimming outside mirror will only operate when
the ignition switch is in the On position.
The automatic dimming outside mirror sensitivity
cannot be repaired or adjusted. If any component of
this unit is faulty or damaged, the entire automatic
dimming outside mirror unit must be replaced. (Refer
to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER MIRRORS/SIDEVIEW
MIRROR - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING). Refer to
the appropriate wiring information. The wiring infor-
mation includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and
connector 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.
OPERATION
OPERATION - REAR VIEW MIRROR
The automatic day/night mirror switch allows the
driver a manual control of whether the automatic
dimming feature is operational. This switch is a
momentary rocker-type switch located on the lower
rear-facing surface of the mirror housing. When Auto
is selected, a Light-Emitting Diode (LED) on the mir-
ror housing just to the right of the switch illuminates
to indicate that automatic day/night mirror is turned
on. When Off is selected, the LED is turned off. The
mirror also senses the backup lamp circuit, and will
automatically disable its self-dimming feature when-
ever the transmission gear selector is in the Reverse
position.
A thin layer of electrochromatic material between
two pieces of conductive glass make up the face of
the mirror. Two photocell sensors are used to monitor
light levels and adjust the reflectance of the mirror.
The ambient photocell sensor faces forward, to detect
the outside light levels. The headlamp sensor is
located on the mirror housing just to the left of the
switch and facing rearward, to detect the light level
received at the rear window side of the mirror. When
the difference between the two light levels becomes
too great (the light level received at the rear of themirror is much higher than that at the front of the
mirror), the mirror begins to darken.
On models with an optional driver side automatic
dimming outside mirror, the signal to control the
dimming of that mirror is generated by the auto-
matic day/night inside rear view mirror circuitry.
That signal is then delivered to the driver side out-
side rear view mirror on a hard wired circuit.
See the owner's manual in the vehicle glove box for
more information on the features, use and operation
of the automatic day/night mirror system.
OPERATION - OUTSIDE REAR VIEW MIRROR
The automatic dimming outside mirror is operated
by the same controls and circuitry as the automatic
day/night mirror. When the automatic day/night mir-
ror is turned on or off, the automatic dimming out-
side mirror is likewise turned on or off. Like in the
automatic day/night mirror, a thin layer of electro-
chromatic material between two pieces of conductive
glass make up the face of the automatic dimming
outside mirror. However, the signal to control the
dimming of the outside mirror is generated by the
automatic day/night inside rear view mirror circuitry.
See the owner's manual in the vehicle glove box for
more information on the features, use and operation
of the automatic dimming outside mirror.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - AUTOMATIC DAY /

For complete circuit diagrams, refer to the appro-
priate wiring information. The wiring information
includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and connector
repair procedures, details of wire harness routing
and retention, connector pin-out information and

tors, splices and grounds.
(1) Check the fused ignition switch output (run/
start) fuse in the junction block. If OK, go to Step 2.
If not OK, repair the shorted circuit or component as
required and replace the faulty fuse.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the On position.
Check for battery voltage at the fused ignition switch
output (run/start) fuse in the junction block. If OK,
go to Step 3. If not OK, repair the open fused ignition
switch output (run/start) circuit to the ignition switch
as required.
(3) Disconnect the overhead wire harness connec-
tor from the automatic day/night mirror connector
receptacle. Check for battery voltage at the fused
ignition switch output (run/start) circuit cavity of the
overhead wire harness connector for the automatic
day/night mirror. If OK, go to Step 4. If not OK,
repair the open fused ignition switch output (run/
start) circuit to the fuse in the junction block as
required.

²Passenger Airbag- The passenger airbag is
located on the instrument panel, beneath the instru-
ment panel top pad and above the glove box on the
passenger side of the vehicle.
²Passenger Knee Blocker- The passenger knee
blocker is a structural reinforcement that is integral
to and concealed within the glove box door.
²Side Impact Sensor- Two side impact sensors
are used on vehicles with the optional side curtain
airbags, one left side and one right side. One sensor
is located behind the B-pillar trim near the base of
each B-pillar.
²Side Curtain Airbag- In vehicles equipped
with this option, a side curtain airbag is located on
each inside roof side rail above the headliner, and
extends from the A-pillar to just beyond the C-pillar.
The ACM and the EMIC each contain a central
processing unit and programming that allow them to
communicate with each other using the Programma-
ble Communication Interface (PCI) data bus network.
This method of communication is used by the ACM
for control of the airbag indicator on all models
equipped with dual front airbags. (Refer to 8 - ELEC-
TRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES/
COMMUNICATION - DESCRIPTION).
Hard wired circuitry connects the supplemental
restraint system components to each other through
the electrical system of the vehicle. These hard wired
circuits are integral to several wire harnesses, which
are routed throughout the vehicle and retained by
many different methods. These circuits may be con-
nected to each other, to the vehicle electrical system,
and to the supplemental restraint system compo-
nents through the use of a combination of soldered
splices, splice block connectors, and many different
types of wire harness terminal connectors and insu-
lators. 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
harness connectors, splices and grounds.
OPERATION
ACTIVE RESTRAINTS
The primary passenger restraints in this or any
other vehicle are the standard equipment factory-in-
stalled seat belts. Seat belts are referred to as an
active restraint because the vehicle occupants are
required to physically fasten and properly adjust
these restraints in order to benefit from them. See
the owner's manual in the vehicle glove box for more
information on the features, use and operation of all
of the factory-installed active restraints.PASSIVE RESTRAINTS
The passive restraints system is referred to as a
supplemental restraint system because they were
designed and are intended to enhance the protection
for the vehicle occupants of the vehicleonlywhen
used in conjunction with the seat belts. They are
referred to as passive systems because the vehicle
occupants are not required to do anything to make
them operate; however, the vehicle occupants must
be wearing their seat belts in order to obtain the
maximum safety benefit from the factory-installed
supplemental restraint systems.
The supplemental restraint system electrical cir-
cuits are continuously monitored and controlled by a
microprocessor and software contained within the
Airbag Control Module (ACM). An airbag indicator in
the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC)
illuminates for about seven seconds as a bulb test
each time the ignition switch is turned to the On or
Start positions. Following the bulb test, the airbag
indicator is turned on or off by the ACM to indicate
the status of the supplemental restraint system. If
the airbag indicator comes on at any time other than
during the bulb test, it indicates that there is a prob-
lem in the supplemental restraint system electrical
circuits. Such a problem may cause airbags not to
deploy when required, or to deploy when not
required.
Deployment of the supplemental restraints
depends upon the angle and severity of an impact.
Deployment is not based upon vehicle speed; rather,
deployment is based upon the rate of deceleration as
measured by the forces of gravity (G force) upon the
impact sensors. When an impact is severe enough,
the microprocessor in the ACM signals the inflator
unit of the airbag module to deploy the airbag. Dur-
ing a frontal vehicle impact, the knee blockers work
in concert with properly fastened and adjusted seat
belts to restrain both the driver and the front seat
passenger in the proper position for an airbag deploy-
ment. The knee blockers also absorb and distribute
the crash energy from the driver and the front seat
passenger to the structure of the instrument panel.
Typically, the vehicle occupants recall more about
the events preceding and following a collision than
they have of an airbag deployment itself. This is
because the airbag deployment and deflation occur so
rapidly. In a typical 48 kilometer-per-hour (30 mile-
per-hour) barrier impact, from the moment of impact
until the airbags are fully inflated takes about 40
milliseconds. Within one to two seconds from the
moment of impact, the airbags are almost entirely
deflated. The times cited for these events are approx-
imations, which apply only to a barrier impact at the
given speed. Actual times will vary somewhat,

²Washer Reservoir- The rear washer system
shares a single reservoir with the front washer sys-
tem, but has its own dedicated washer pump/motor
and plumbing. The washer reservoir is concealed
between the left inner fender shield and the left
outer fender panel, behind the inner fender liner and
ahead of the left front wheel. The washer reservoir
filler neck is the only visible portion of the reservoir,
and it is accessed from the left front corner of the
engine compartment.
Features of the rear wiper and washer system
include the following:
²Continuous Wipe Mode- When the right
multi-function switch control sleeve is moved to the
On position, the rear wiper will be operated at a
fixed speed, continual wipe cycle until the switch
sleeve is moved to the Delay or Off positions, until
the ignition switch is turned to the Off position, or
until the liftgate flip-up glass is ajar.
²Intermittent Wipe Mode- When the right
multi-function switch control sleeve is moved to the
Delay position, the rear wiper will be operated in a
fixed interval, intermittent wipe cycle until the
switch sleeve is moved to the On or Off positions,
until the ignition switch is turned to the Off position,
until the liftgate flip-up glass is ajar, or until the
right multi-function switch control stalk is pushed
forward to activate the rear washer system. The
intermittent wipe mode delay time has a fixed delay
interval of about five to eight seconds between
sweeps.
²Washer Mode- When the right multi-function
switch control stalk is pushed forward to activate the
rear washer system, washer fluid will be dispensed
from the washer reservoir onto the liftgate glass
through the rear washer nozzle and the rear wiper
will operate in a fixed cycle (not intermittent) for as
long as the rear washer pump/motor unit remains
energized. When the control stalk is released from
the momentary Wash position, the wipe-after-wash
feature will continue to operate the rear wiper at a
fixed cycle for about three additional wiper sweeps
before returning to the previously selected mode.
Hard wired circuitry connects the rear wiper and
washer system components to the electrical system of
the vehicle. These hard wired circuits are integral to
several wire harnesses, which are routed throughout
the vehicle and retained by many different methods.
These circuits may be connected to each other, to the
vehicle electrical system and to the rear wiper and
washer system components through the use of a com-
bination of soldered splices, splice block connectors,
and many different types of wire harness terminal
connectors and insulators. Refer to the appropriate
wiring information. The wiring information includes
wiring diagrams, proper wire and connector repairprocedures, further details on wire harness routing
and retention, as well as pin-out and location views
for the various wire harness connectors, splices and
grounds.
OPERATION
The rear wiper and washer system is intended to
provide the vehicle operator with a convenient, safe,
and reliable means of maintaining visibility through
the liftgate glass. The various components of this sys-
tem are designed to convert electrical energy pro-
duced by the vehicle electrical system into the
mechanical action of the wiper blade to wipe the out-
side surface of the glass, as well as into the hydraulic
action of the washer system to apply washer fluid
stored in an on-board reservoir to the area of the
glass to be wiped. When combined, these components
provide the means to effectively maintain clear visi-
bility for the vehicle operator by removing excess
accumulations of rain, snow, bugs, mud, or other
minor debris from the outside liftgate glass surface
that might be encountered while driving the vehicle
under numerous types of inclement operating condi-
tions. The vehicle operator initiates all rear wiper
and washer system functions with the right multi-
function switch located on the right side of the steer-
ing column, just below the steering wheel. Moving
the switch control sleeve to a detent position selects
the rear wiper system operating mode. Moving the
switch control stalk forward to a momentary position
activates the rear washer pump/motor, which dis-
penses washer fluid onto the liftgate glass through
the rear washer nozzle and operates the rear wiper
system in the fixed cycle mode for as long as the
washer switch is closed plus about three wiper
sweeps.
When the ignition switch is in the Accessory or On
positions, battery current from a fuse in the Junction
Block (JB) is provided to the right multi-function
switch through a fused ignition switch output (run-
acc) circuit. A separate fuse in the JB provides bat-
tery current to the electronic control circuitry of the
rear wiper module through a fused B(+) circuit.
When the right multi-function switch control sleeve
On position is selected, the On position circuitry
within the switch directs a battery current rear
wiper motor control signal input to the rear wiper
module electronic circuitry, which causes the rear
wiper motor to run at a fixed continuous wipe cycle.
When the right multi-function switch control sleeve
Delay position is selected, the Delay position cir-
cuitry within the switch directs a battery current
rear washer switch output signal input to the rear
wiper module electronic circuitry, which causes the
rear wiper motor to run at a fixed intermittent wipe
cycle. When the right multi-function switch control
8R - 34 REAR WIPERS/WASHERSWJ
REAR WIPERS/WASHERS (Continued)

stalk is moved to the rear Wash position, the Wash
position circuitry within the switch directs battery
current to the rear washer pump/motor unit, and to
both the rear wiper motor control and rear washer
switch output signal inputs of the rear wiper module
electronic circuitry, which causes the wiper motor to
run at a fixed cycle for as long as the Wash mode is
selected plus about three additional fixed wipe cycles.
The rear wiper module electronic circuitry controls
the switching of battery current to the rear wiper
motor brush, which controls wiper motor operation.
The intermittent wipe and wipe-after-wash features
of the rear wiper and washer system are both pro-
vided by the rear wiper module electronic circuitry.
The rear wiper module electronic circuitry also mon-
itors the liftgate flip-up glass ajar switch and will
park the rear wiper blade off of the glass any time it
senses that the liftgate flip-up glass is ajar, the igni-
tion switch is turned to the Off position, or the right
multi-function switch control sleeve is moved to the
Off position. This feature ensures that the rear wiper
blade will not interfere with or be damaged by the
operation of the liftgate flip-up glass. However, if the
ignition switch is turned to the Off position or the
liftgate flip-up glass is opened while the rear wiper is
operating, the right multi-function switch control
sleeve must be cycled to the Off position and back to
the On or Delay position after the ignition switch is
turned back On or the liftgate flip-up glass is closed
before the rear wiper will operate again.
Refer to the owner's manual in the vehicle glove
box for more information on the features and opera-
tion of the rear wiper and washer system.

in the dome lamp disable position. With all four
doors and the liftgate closed, open the liftgate flip-up
glass. The interior lamps should light. If not, depress
the cargo lamp lens to actuate the cargo lamp defeat
switch and the interior lamps should light. Close all
four doors, the liftgate and the liftgate flip-up glass.
Note whether the interior lamps remain lighted.
They should turn off after about thirty seconds. If
OK, go to Step 2. If not OK, go to Step 9.
(2) Check the fused B(+) fuse (Fuse8-15ampere)
in the Junction Block (JB). If OK, go to Step 3. If not
OK, repair the shorted circuit or component as
required and replace the faulty fuse.
(3) Check for battery voltage at the fused B(+) fuse
(Fuse8-15ampere) in the JB. If OK, go to Step 4. If
not OK, repair the open fused B(+) circuit between
the JB and the Power Distribution Center (PDC) as
required.
(4) Check the fused ignition switch output (run-
acc) fuse (Fuse 29 - 10 ampere) in the JB. If OK, go
to Step 5. If not OK, repair the shorted circuit or
component as required and replace the faulty fuse.
(5) Turn the ignition switch to the On position.
Check for battery voltage at the fused ignition switch
output (run-acc) fuse (Fuse 29 - 10 ampere) in the
JB. If OK, turn the ignition switch to the Off position
and go to Step 6. If not OK, repair the open fused
ignition switch output (run-acc) circuit between the
JB and the ignition switch as required.
(6) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable. Disconnect the instrument panel wire harness
connector for the right multi-function switch from the
switch connector receptacle. Reconnect the battery
negative cable. Turn the ignition switch to the On
position. Check for battery voltage at the fused igni-
tion switch output (run-acc) circuit cavity of the
instrument panel wire harness connector for the
right multi-function switch. If OK, go to Step 7. If
not OK, repair the open fused ignition switch output
