GENERAL INFORMATION
Following are general descriptions of major compo-
nents used in XJ (Cherokee)/YJ (Wrangler) audio sys-
tems. Refer to Group 8W - Wiring Diagrams for
complete circuit descriptions and diagrams.
RADIOS
Radio options for the XJ and YJ models include an
AM/FM stereo or an AM/FM stereo/cassette receiver.
Both units are Electronically-Tuned Radios (ETR)
and include a clock function. For more information
on radio features, setting procedures, and control
functions refer to the owner's manual.
IN-LINE FUSE
Each radio receives fused battery feed when the ig-
nition switch is in the ON or ACCESSORY position.
There is an additional in-line fuse in the back of the
radio chassis. The in-line fuse (Fig. 1) will blow to
protect the vehicle electrical system in the event of
internal radio failure.
IGNITION-OFF DRAW FUSE
All vehicles are equipped with an Ignition-Off
Draw (IOD) fuse that is removed when the vehicle is
shipped from the factory. This fuse feeds various ac-
cessories that require current when the ignition
switch is in the OFF position, including the clock and
radio station preset memory functions. The fuse is re-
moved to prevent battery discharge during vehicle
storage.The IOD fuse should be checked if the radio station
preset memory or clock functions are erratic or inop-
erative. The IOD fuse is located in the Power Distri-
bution Center (PDC). Refer to underside of PDC
cover for IOD fuse identification.
RADIO ILLUMINATION RELAY
All radios are connected to a radio illumination re-
lay. The relay controls the source of battery feed for
radio/clock display illumination.
When the park and headlamp switch is in the OFF
position, the radio illumination relay remains de-en-
ergized. The radio/clock display receives full battery
voltage through the normally closed contacts of the
relay. This results in the radio/clock display being il-
luminated at full brightness for easier visibility in
daylight.
When the park and headlamp switch is in the ON
position, the radio illumination relay coil is ener-
gized. With the relay coil energized, the normally
closed contacts of the relay open, and the normally
open contacts of the relay close. This causes the ra-
dio/clock display to receive battery feed through the
instrument panel dimmer switch. The display illumi-
nation brightness can now be adjusted with other
panel lamps for night visibility.
SPEAKERS
Speaker system options include two, four or six (XJ
only) speaker locations. On XJ model two-speaker
systems, one speaker is located in each front door.
Four-speaker systems add one speaker at each end of
a rear-mounted overhead sound bar. The premium
six-speaker option upgrades all the speakers in the
above locations, and adds one tweeter at each end of
the lower instrument panel.
On YJ model two-speaker systems, one speaker is
located at each end of the instrument panel. Four-
speaker systems add one speaker at each end of a
rear-mounted overhead sound bar.

ANTENNA
All models use a fixed-length stainless steel rod-
type antenna mast, installed at the right front (fend-
er on XJ, cowl side on YJ) of the vehicle. The
antenna mast is connected to the center wire of the
coaxial antenna cable and is not grounded to any
part of the vehicle.
To eliminate static, the antenna base must have a
good ground. The coaxial antenna cable shield (the
outer wire mesh of the cable) is grounded to the an-
tenna base and the radio chassis.
The factory installed ETRs automatically compen-
sate for radio antenna trim. Therefore, no antenna
trimmer adjustment is required or possible when re-
placing the receiver or the antenna.
RADIO NOISE SUPPRESSION
Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) and Electro-
Magnetic Interference (EMI) noise suppression is ac-
complished primarily through circuitry internal to
the radio receivers. These internal suppression de-
vices are only serviced as a part of the radio receiver.External suppression devices that are serviceable
and should be checked in the case of RFI or EMI
noise complaints include the following:
²radio antenna base ground
²engine-to-body ground strap
²resistor-type spark plugs
²radio suppression-type secondary ignition wiring.
In addition, if the source of RFI or EMI noise is
identified as a component on the vehicle (i.e.:genera-
tor, blower motor, etc.), the ground path for that com-
ponent should be checked. If excessive resistance is
found in that circuit, repair as required before con-
sidering any component replacement.
Fleet vehicles are available with an extra-cost RFI-
suppressed Powertrain Control Module (PCM). This
unit reduces interference generated by the PCM on
some radio frequencies used in two-way radio com-
munications. However, this unit will not resolve com-
plaints of RFI in the commercial AM or FM radio
frequency ranges.
DIAGNOSIS
RADIO
CAUTION: Do not operate the radio with speaker
leads detached since damage to the transistors
may result.
(1) Check fuse 2 in fuseblock module and fuse in
back of radio chassis. If OK, go to next step. If not
OK, replace fuse.
(2) Turn ignition switch to ON position. Check for
battery voltage at fuse 2. If OK, go to next step. If
not OK, repair circuit to ignition switch as required.
(3) Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Discon-
nect battery negative cable. Remove instrument clus-
ter bezel. Remove radio, but do not unplug any
connections. Check for continuity between the radio
chassis and a good ground. There should be continu-
ity. If OK, go to next step. If not OK, repair radio
ground circuit as required.
(4) Connect battery negative cable. Turn ignition
switch to ON position. See Radio Connections chart.
Check for battery voltage at cavity 3 of radio connec-
tor. If OK, go to next step. If not OK, repair circuit to
fuse 2 as required.
(5) Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Check for
battery voltage at cavity 4 of radio connector. If OK,
replace radio. If not OK, repair circuit to IOD fuse in
PDC as required.
SPEAKERS
CAUTION: Do not operate the radio with speaker
leads detached since damage to the transistors
may result.
(1) Turn radio on and adjust balance and fader
controls to check performance of each individual
speaker. Note the speaker locations that are not per-
forming correctly. Go to next step.
(2) Turn radio off. Disconnect battery negative ca-
ble. Remove instrument cluster bezel and remove ra-
dio. See Radio Connections chart. Check both the
speaker feed and return cavities at radio for continu-
ity to a good ground. There should be no continuity.
If OK, go to next step. If not OK, repair wiring cir-
cuit as required.
(3) Check resistance between speaker feed and re-
turn cavities. Meter should read between 3 and 8
ohms (speaker impedance). If OK, see diagnosis for
Radio. If not OK, go to next step.
(4) Unplug speaker wiring connector. Check for
continuity between speaker feed cavity at radio and
at speaker. Repeat check between speaker return
cavity at radio and at speaker. If OK, replace
speaker. If not OK, repair wiring circuit as required.
