(4) Remove the cover panel from the top of the
driver side seat riser.
(5) Remove the time delay relay from its vehicle
wire harness connector by grasping it firmly and
pulling it straight out from the connector within the
driver side seat riser.
INSTALLATION
WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death, on
vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the supple-
mental restraint system before attempting any
steering wheel, steering column, airbag, seat belt
tensioner, or instrument panel component diagno-
sis or service. Disconnect and isolate the battery
negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for
the system capacitor to discharge before perform-
ing further diagnosis or service. This is the only
sure way to disable the supplemental restraint sys-
tem. Failure to take the proper precautions could
result in accidental airbag deployment.
(1) Position the time delay relay to its vehicle wire
harness connector within the driver side seat riser.
(2) Align the time delay relay terminals with the
terminal cavities in the vehicle wire harness connec-
tor.
(3) Push firmly and evenly on the top of the time
delay relay until the terminals are fully seated in the
terminal cavities in the vehicle wire harness connec-
tor.
(4) Position the cover panel onto the top of the
driver side seat riser (Fig. 12).
(5) Install and tighten the two screws that secure
the cover panel to the top of the seat riser under the
driver side front seat. Tighten the screws to 2 N´m
(18 in. lbs.).(6) Move the driver side front seat back to its driv-
ing position.
(7) Reconnect the battery negative cable.

REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY
TRANSMITTER
DESCRIPTION
Pressing the unlock button on the transmitter will
unlock the drivers door, pressing it a second time
within 2.5 seconds will unlock all other doors. The
transmitter has a range of 10 meters. A key is inte-
gral to the transmitter.
When a transmitter is lost, it is necessary to dis-
able the affected transmitter so that it can no longer
be used to operate the vehicle. It will then be neces-
sary to program a new transmitter to the vehicle.
MASTER LOCK SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The master lock switch is a momentary contact
switch. Pressing the once in the up direction unlocks
the driver door. Pressing it again in the same direc-
tion unlocks all doors. Pressing the button in the
down direction locks all doors.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - MASTER LOCK
SWITCH
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Remove the switch to be tested.
(3) Using an ohmmeter, test switch for continuity
(Fig. 1).
(4) If test results are not obtained as shown in the
test table, replace the switch.

POWER MIRRORS
DESCRIPTION
The power operated outside rear view mirrors
allow the driver to adjust both outside mirrors elec-
trically from the driver side front seat position by
operating a switch on the driver side front door trim
panel. The power mirrors receive a non-switched bat-
tery feed through a fuse so that the system will
remain operational, regardless of the ignition switch
position.

POWER WINDOWS
DESCRIPTION
The power window system allows each of the door
windows to be raised and lowered electrically by
actuating a switch on each door panel. A master
switch on the drivers door allows the driver to raise
or lower each door window. The power window sys-
tem operates only when the ignition switch is in the
RUN or ACCESSORY position.
OPERATION
WINDOW SWITCH
The power window switches control the battery
and ground feeds to the power window motors. The
passenger door power window switches receive their
battery and ground feeds through the circuitry of the
drivers window switch.
WINDOW MOTOR
Window motors use permanent type magnets. The
B+ and ground applied at the motor terminal pins
will cause the motor to rotate in one direction.
Reversing current through the motor terminals will
cause the motor to rotate in the opposite direction.
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.
WINDOW MOTOR
REMOVAL
The window motor is serviced with the window
regulator.
POWER WINDOW SWITCH
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - POWER WINDOW
SWITCH
Test the power window switch continuity. Refer to
the Power Window Switch Continuity chart to deter-
mine if the continuity is correct in the Off, Up and
Down switch positions (Fig. 1).
