REAR WASHER PUMP/MOTOR
DESCRIPTION
The rear washer pump/motor unit is located on the
outboard side and near the rear of the washer reser-
voir, between the left front inner and outer fender
panels (Fig. 5). A small permanently lubricated and
sealed electric motor is coupled to the rotor-type
washer pump. A seal flange with a large barbed inlet
nipple on the pump housing passes through a rubber
grommet seal installed in one of two dedicatedmounting holes near the bottom of the washer reser-
voir. The rear washer pump/motor unit is always
mounted in the higher pump mounting hole of the
reservoir. A smaller barbed outlet nipple on the pump
housing connects the unit to the rear washer hose.
The washer pump/motor unit is retained on the res-
ervoir by the interference fit between the barbed
pump inlet nipple and the grommet seal, which is a
light press fit. An integral electrical connector recep-
tacle is located on the top of the motor housing. The
rear washer pump/motor unit cannot be repaired. If
faulty or damaged, the entire washer pump/motor
unit must be replaced.
OPERATION
The rear washer pump/motor unit is connected to
the vehicle electrical system through a single take
out and two-cavity connector of the left headlamp
and dash wire harness. The washer pump/motor is
grounded at all times through a take out of the left
headlamp and dash wire harness with a single eyelet
terminal connector that is secured under a ground
screw to the top of the left inner fender shield in the
engine compartment. The rear washer pump/motor
receives battery current on a fused ignition switch
output (run-acc) circuit through the closed contacts of
the momentary rear washer switch within the right
multi-function switch only when the switch control
stalk is pushed towards the instrument panel.
Washer fluid is gravity-fed from the washer reservoir
to the inlet side of the washer pump. When the pump
motor is energized, the rotor-type pump pressurizes

motor that is secured with screws to the wiper motor
and to the liftgate inner panel.
²Electronic Controls- The rear wiper module
electronic controls include the rear wiper system
electronic logic and rear wiper motor electronic con-
trols. The electronic controls for the motor include an
electronic speed control that speeds the wiper blade
near the center of the glass, but slows the wiper
blade during directional reversals at each end of the
wipe pattern and during wiper blade off-the-glass
parking for quieter operation.
²Motor- The permanent magnet rear wiper
motor is secured with screws to the rear wiper mod-
ule bracket. The wiper motor includes an integral
transmission, and the motor output shaft.
The rear wiper module cannot be adjusted or
repaired. If any component of the module is faulty or
damaged, the entire rear wiper module unit must be
replaced. The motor output shaft gasket, bezel, nut,
and nut cover are available for service replacement.
OPERATION
The rear wiper module receives non-switched bat-
tery current through a fuse in the Junction Block
(JB) and is grounded at all times. The rear wiper
module operation is controlled by the vehicle operator
through battery current signal inputs received by the
rear wiper module electronic controls from the right
multi-function switch on the steering column. The
module also receives an external control input from
the liftgate flip-up glass ajar switch circuit. The rear
wiper module electronic control logic uses these
inputs, its internal inputs, and its programming to
provide continuous wipe, delay wipe, wipe-after-wash
and off-the-glass wiper blade parking. The wiper
blade cycling is controlled by the rear wiper module
electronic controls, which control current flow to the
wiper motor brushes. The wiper motor transmission
converts the rotary output of the wiper motor to the
back and forth wiping motion of the rear wiper arm
and blade on the liftgate glass.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Remove the rear wiper arm from the rear
wiper motor output shaft. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRI-
CAL/REAR WIPERS/WASHERS/REAR WIPER ARM

(3) Use a door trim panel removal tool to gently
pry at the base of the nut cover where it meets the
wiper motor output shaft bezel and gasket on the
outer liftgate panel until it unsnaps from the bezel
(Fig. 13). Be certain to use proper caution to protect
the outer liftgate panel and its paint finish from
damage during this procedure.(4) Remove the nut that secures the rear wiper
motor output shaft to the outer liftgate panel.
(5) Remove the bezel and gasket from the rear
wiper motor output shaft.
(6) Remove the trim panel from the inside of the
liftgate. (Refer to 23 - BODY/DECKLID/HATCH/

INFORMATION
DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION - HOW TO USE WIRING
DIAGRAMS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are
designed to provide information regarding the vehi-
cles wiring content. In order to effectively use the
wiring diagrams to diagnose and repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important
to understand all of their features and characteris-
tics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+)
side of the circuit is placed near the top of the page,
and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near
the bottom of the page (Fig. 1).
All switches, components, and modules are shown
in the at rest position with the doors closed and the
key removed from the ignition (Fig. 2).Components are shown two ways. A solid line
around a component indicates that the component is
complete. A dashed line around the component indi-
cates that the component is being shown is not com-
plete. Incomplete components have a reference
number to indicate the page where the component is
shown complete.
It is important to realize that no attempt is made
on the diagrams to represent components and wiring
as they appear on the vehicle. For example, a short
piece of wire is treated the same as a long one. In
addition, switches and other components are shown
as simply as possible, with regard to function only.
SYMBOLS
International symbols are used throughout the wir-
ing diagrams. These symbols are consistent with
those being used around the world (Fig. 3).

DESCRIPTION - SECTION IDENTIFICATION AND
INFORMATION
The wiring diagrams are grouped into individual
sections. If a component is most likely found in a par-
ticular group, it will be shown complete (all wires,
connectors, and pins) within that group. For exam-
ple, the Auto Shutdown Relay is most likely to be
found in Group 30, so it is shown there complete. It
can, however, be shown partially in another group if
it contains some associated wiring.
Splice diagrams in Section 8W-70 show the entire
splice and provide references to other sections the
splices serves. Section 8W-70 only contains splice dia-
grams that are not shown in their entirety some-
where else in the wiring diagrams.
Section 8W-80 shows each connector and the cir-
cuits involved with that connector. The connectors
are identified using the name/number on the dia-
gram pages.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit
there are several common tools necessary. These tools
are listed and explained below.
²Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to con-
nect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: NEVER USE A JUMPER WIRE ACROSS
A LOAD, SUCH AS A MOTOR, CONNECTED
BETWEEN A BATTERY FEED AND GROUND.
²Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a cir-
cuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the
circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used
in today's vehicles are Solid State. When checking
voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 -
megohm or greater impedance rating.
WJ8W-01 WIRING DIAGRAM INFORMATION 8W - 01 - 7
WIRING DIAGRAM INFORMATION (Continued)

²Ohmmeter - Used to check the resistance
between two points of a circuit. Low or no resistance
in a circuit means good continuity.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used
in today's vehicles are Solid State. When checking
resistance in these circuits use a meter with a 10 -
megohm or greater impedance rating. In addition,
make sure the power is disconnected from the cir-
cuit. Circuits that are powered up by the vehicle's
electrical system can cause damage to the equip-
ment and provide false readings.
²Probing Tools - These tools are used for probing
terminals in connectors (Fig. 5). Select the proper
size tool from Special Tool Package 6807, and insert
it into the terminal being tested. Use the other end
of the tool to insert the meter probe.
INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent electrical problems are caused
by faulty electrical connections or wiring. It is also
possible for a sticking component or relay to cause a
problem. Before condemning a component or wiring
assembly, check the following items.
²Connectors are fully seated
²Spread terminals, or terminal push out
²Terminals in the wiring assembly are fully
seated into the connector/component and locked into
position
²
Dirt or corrosion on the terminals. Any amount of
corrosion or dirt could cause an intermittent problem
²Damaged connector/component casing exposing
the item to dirt or moisture
²Wire insulation that has rubbed through causing
a short to ground
²Some or all of the wiring strands broken inside
of the insulation
²Wiring broken inside of the insulation
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING PROBLEMS
When troubleshooting wiring problems there are
six steps which can aid in the procedure. The stepsare listed and explained below. Always check for non-
factory items added to the vehicle before doing any
diagnosis. If the vehicle is equipped with these items,
disconnect them to verify these add-on items are not
the cause of the problem.
(1) Verify the problem.
(2) Verify any related symptoms. Do this by per-
forming operational checks on components that are
in the same circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams.
(3) Analyze the symptoms. Use the wiring dia-
grams to determine what the circuit is doing, where
the problem most likely is occurring and where the
diagnosis will continue.
(4) Isolate the problem area.
(5) Repair the problem area.
(6) Verify the proper operation. For this step,
check for proper operation of all items on the
repaired circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams.
STANDARD PROCEDURE
STANDARD PROCEDURE - ELECTROSTATIC
DISCHARGE (ESD) SENSITIVE DEVICES
All ESD sensitive components are solid state and a
symbol (Fig. 6) is used to indicate this. When handling
any component with this symbol, comply with the fol-
lowing procedures to reduce the possibility of electro-
static charge build up on the body and inadvertent
discharge into the component. If it is not known
whether the part is ESD sensitive, assume that it is.
(1) Always touch a known good ground before han-
dling the part. This should be repeated while han-
dling the part and more frequently after sliding
across a seat, sitting down from a standing position,
or walking a distance.
(2) Avoid touching electrical terminals of the part,
unless instructed to do so by a written procedure.
(3) When using a voltmeter, be sure to connect the
ground lead first.
(4) Do not remove the part form it's protective
packing until it is time to install the part.
(5) Before removing the part from it's pakage,
ground the pakage to a known good ground on the
vehicle.

(3) Remove the cigar lighter knob and element
from the cigar lighter outlet shell. Check for continu-
ity between the inside circumference of the cigar
lighter outlet shell and a good ground. there should
be continuity. If OK, go to Step 4. If not OK, go to
Step 5.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the On position.
Check for battery voltage at the insulated contact
located at the back of the cigar lighter outlet shell. If
OK, replace the faulty cigar lighter knob and ele-
ment. If not OK, go to Step 5.
(5) Turn the ignition switch to the Off position.
Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
Remove the instrument panel center lower bezel.
Check for continuity between the ground circuit cav-
ity of the cigar lighter wire harness connector and a
good ground. There should be continuity. If OK, go to
Step 6. If not OK, repair the open ground circuit to
ground as required.
(6) Connect the battery negative cable. Turn the
ignition switch to the Accessory or On positions.
Check for battery voltage at the fused B(+) circuit
cavity of the cigar lighter wire harness connector. If
OK, replace the faulty cigar lighter outlet. If not OK,
repair the open fused B(+) circuit to the junction
block fuse as required.

JUNCTION BLOCK
DESCRIPTION
An electrical Junction Block (JB) is concealed
beneath the driver side of the instrument panel in
the passenger compartment of the vehicle (Fig. 3).
The JB combines the functions previously provided
by a separate fuseblock module and relay center. The
JB serves to simplify and centralize numerous elec-
trical components, as well as to distribute electrical
current to many of the accessory systems in the vehi-
cle. It also eliminates the need for numerous splice
connections. The JB houses up to thirty-three blade-
type mini fuses, up to two blade-type automatic
resetting circuit breakers, the electronic combination
flasher, the Daytime Running Lamp (DRL) module
(Canada only) and up to twelve International Stan-
dards Organization (ISO) relays (three standard-type
and nine micro-type). The JB also incorporates an
integral connector and mounting for the Body Con-
trol Module (BCM). The BCM is secured with four
screws directly to the dash panel side of the JB.
Refer toBody Control Modulein Electronic Con-
trol Modules for additional information covering the
BCM.
The molded plastic JB housing has integral mounts
that are secured with two screws and two snap
retainers to the instrument panel steering column
support bracket behind the instrument panel steer-ing column opening cover. The JB is concealed above
the molded plastic instrument panel fuse cover. Inte-
gral latches molded into the fuse cover secure it the
JB, the BCM and the 16-way data link connector tab
of the instrument panel steering column support
bracket. The fuse cover can be pulled downward to
disengage the latches and provide service access to
all of the fuses, relays and wire harness connectors of
the JB. The fuse cover has a fuse puller and spare
fuses secured to its upper surface. Refer toInstru-
ment Panel Fuse Coverin Body for additional ser-
vice information.
The JB unit cannot be repaired and is only ser-
viced as an assembly. If any internal circuit or the JB
housing is faulty or damaged, the entire JB unit
must be replaced. The BCM is available for separate
service replacement.
OPERATION
All of the circuits entering and leaving the Junc-
tion Block (JB) do so through up to five wire harness
connectors, which are connected to the JB through
integral connector receptacles molded into the JB
housing. Internal connection of all of the JB circuits
is accomplished by a printed circuit board. There are
also two separate wire harness connections to con-
nector receptacles that are integral to the BCM.
Refer toJunction Blockin Wiring Diagrams for
additional information and the location of complete
JB circuit diagrams.
