GENERAL INFORMATION
JUMP-STARTING, VEHICLE EQUIPPED
WITH THEFT SECURITY SYSTEM . After the
booster battery has been connected, the Theft System
must be turned OFF. Using the key, lock then un-
lock either front door. This turns the Theft System
OFF and the remainder of the Jump-Starting proce-
dure can be followed. If this procedure is not followed, the Theft System
electronics will prevent the engine from starting. If a new Powertrain Control Module is installed,
the engine has to be cranked 20 times before the
alarm system activated. This passive system is designed to protect against
whole vehicle theft. The system monitors vehicle
doors, hood, trunk key cylinder, and ignition action
for unauthorized operation. The alarm activates by
sounding the horn, flashing the park and tail lamps,
and providing an engine kill feature (Fig. 1). Passive arming occurs upon normal vehicle exit,
open door, lock with power locks, close door. The SET
lamp in the panel will flash for 15 seconds, indicat-
ing that arming is in progress. If no monitored sys-
tems are activated during this period, the system
will arm. If the hood or trunk key cylinder switches
are not sensed by the system. The SET lamp will re-
main lit during the arming process, although the sys-
tem will still arm. The system is to be considered as
an active armed system when using the Remote Key-
less Entry. If the SET lamp does not illuminate at all
upon door closing it indicates that the system is not
arming. Passive disarming occurs upon normal vehicle en-
try unlocking either door with the key, or unlocking
using the Remote Keyless transmitter. This disarm-
ing will also halt the alarm once it has been acti-
vated. Whenever the battery is disconnected and recon-
nected, the Vehicle Theft Security System enters
power up alarm mode which flashes the park and tail
lamps and prevents the engine from running. To exit
this mode, the system must be disarmed as men-
tioned above. A tamper alert exists to notify the driver that the
alarm had been activated, and the alarm has since
timed-out for more than 18 minutes. This alert con-
sists of 3 horn pulses when the vehicle is disarmed. The alarm system will not arm if the doors are
manually locked, providing a manual override of the
alarm.
WHAT WILL TRIGGER THE SYSTEM
One of the following actions will trigger the system
while it is armed. Without properly disarming sys-
tem, by using the key or the remote transmitter. (1) Opening the HOOD.
(2) Opening any DOOR.
(3) Removing the TRUNK KEY CYLINDER.
(4) Turning the IGNITION ON.
(5) The ignition switch can be turned to the acces-
sory position without triggering alarm system.
SYSTEM SELF-TESTS
A diagnostics mode is available in the system to
verify operation of all monitored switches or circuits.
To enter diagnostics, cycle the ignition key to the ac-
cessory position 3 times, leaving the key in this po-
sition. Upon entering diagnostics, the park and tail lamps
will begin flashing to verify their operation. In addi-
tion, the horn will sound twice to indicate that the
trunk key cylinder is in its proper position. Return-
ing the ignition to the OFF position will stop the
lamps from flashing while keeping the system in di-
agnostics. While in diagnostics mode, a horn pulse should oc-
cur at each of the following events indicating proper
operation: (1) Beginning with all doors closed, open then close
each door. The horn will sound when the door ajar
switch closes, and then again when the switch opens.
There must b e a 1 second delay between closing and
opening the switch. (2) Open, then close the hood. The horn will sound
when the hood is opened, and again when it is closed.
Ä VEHICLE THEFT SECURITY SYSTEM 8Q - 1
Page 704 of 2438

(3) Activate the power door locks in both the
LOCK and UNLOCK directions. The horn will sound
after each activation. (4) Rotate the key in each of the door lock cylin-
ders to the unlock position. The horn will sound as
the switch closes, and again when it opens. There
must b e a 1 second delay between changing switch
states, or the horn will not sound.
² Press the LOCK button,horn will sound.
² Press the UNLOCK button, horn will sound.
(5) Cycle the key to the ignition RUN position. A
single horn pulse will indicate proper operation of
the ignition input. This will also take the module out
of the diagnostics mode. For any of these tests, if the
switch does not remain open or closed for at least 1
second, the horn will only sound once. The lack of a horn pulse, during any operation, in-
dicates a switch failure. Check for continuity at the
switch, if this is good, check for an open or shorted
wire between the switch and alarm module. Also,
check if a new powertrain control module has been
installed recently. Vehicle Theft Security System will
not function until 20 engine cranks. Whenever a Vehicle Theft Security System mal-
function occurs, first verify that the wire harness is
properly connected to all connectors before starting
normal diagnosis and repair procedures. Refer to Ve-
hicle Theft Security System Diagnosis Chart (Fig. 3).VEHICLE THEFT SECURITY SYSTEM MODULE
REPLACEMENT
If the Vehicle Theft Security System module is be-
ing removed and no replacement module is being in-
stalled, the module wiring must be disconnected

GENERAL INFORMATION
Power seats can be adjusted in six different direc-
tions up, down, forward, back, tilt forward, or tilt
rearward. A three armature permanent magnet reversible mo-
tor is coupled through cables to worm gear box assem-
blies located in the seat tracks, providing the various
seat movements. The electrical circuit is protected by a 30 amp circuit
breaker located on the fuse block.
TEST PROCEDURES
Before any testing is attempted the battery should be
carefully charged and all connections and terminals
cleaned and tightened to insure proper continuity and
grounds. With dome lamp on, apply switch in direction of
failure. If dome lamp dims the seat motor is trying to
work indicating mechanical jamming. If dome lamp
does not dim, then proceed with the following electrical
tests.
CIRCUIT BREAKER TEST
Find correct circuit breaker on fuse block. Pull out
slightly but be sure that circuit breaker terminals still
contact terminals in fuse block. Connect ground wire of
voltmeter to a good ground. With probe of voltmeter
positive wire, check both terminals of circuit breaker
for battery voltage. If only one terminal checks at
battery voltage, circuit breaker is defective and must
be replaced. If neither terminal shows battery voltage,
check for open or shorted circuit to circuit breaker.
HARNESS VOLTAGE TEST
The following test will determine whether or not
voltage is continuous through the body harness to the
switch. (1) Remove power seat switch from mounting posi-
tion and disconnect switch from wiring harness. (2) Connect one lead of test light to ground terminal,
black wire (BK) of center section, and touch other test
light lead to red wire (RD) terminal. (3) If test light comes on, harness to switch is good.
If test light does not come on, perform circuit breaker
test.
MOTOR TESTS
AA BODY
(1) Remove switch from mounting position and dis-
connect from harness. (2) To check the center motor, connect a jumper wire
between pin 5 and pin 3 (Fig. 1). Connect a second
jumper wire between pin 7 and pin 4 If motor does not
operate, reverse the jumpers, pin 5 to pin 4 and pin 7 to
pin 3. If motor still does not operate check wiring
between switch connector and motor assembly. If wir-
ing checks good replace motor assembly. (3) To check the front motor, connect a jumper wire
between pin 5 and pin 1 (Fig. 1). Connect a second
jumper wire between pin 7 and pin 8. If motor does not
operate, reverse the jumpers, pin 5 to pin 8 and pin 7 to
pin 1. If motor still does not operate check wiring
between switch connector and motor assembly. If wir-
ing checks good replace motor assembly.
(4) To check the rear motor, connect a covered jumper
wire between pin 5 and pin 6 (Fig. 1). Connect a second

above. When the control module has finished, it will
return to the normal operating mode after ten sec-
onds if no further switches are activated.The control module will also return to normal op-
erating mode if any manual seat or recliner move-
ment switch is actuated during the ten second
timeout. If the system has found a problem, refer to the ap-
propriate diagnosis condition.
POWER MEMORY SEAT, RECLINER AND
MIRRORS DIAGNOSIS
Before any diagnosis is done on the system, move
the seat switches and listen for relays clicking in the
control module under the seat. If relays can be heard,
the main battery and ground circuits to the control
module as well as the battery circuit to the switches
in the driver's door are good. When checking for voltage or continuity, always
use a volt/ohm meter to get accurate readings. The
seat and recliner switches must be activated to check
for voltage at the seat and recliner motors or at the
input to the control module from the switches. The control module creates a special voltage supply
for the position sensing functions. It also shuts down
after five seconds, in order to check this or any other
voltage being fed back to the control module. A
switch may have to be activated more than once to
verify a voltage reading. The voltage from the con-
trol module that feeds the seat and recliner position
sensing potentiometer, will be between 4.5 to 5 volts.
For simplicity in the diagnosis section, the feed volt-
age will be called 5 volts. On the position sensing
wires, these voltages will always be less than 5 volts
but more than 0 volts. Typically the high level is at
a maximum of about 4.25 volts and the low level can
be as little as 0.1 volts. If any seat or recliner potentiometer or mirror
rheostat position sense wires are crossed, the control
module will not move that part of the system. The
seat or mirror will be in a fault diagnostic mode.
CONDITION: SYSTEM WILL NOT OPERATE.
PROCEDURE
(1) Check for forward/rearward operation of re-
cliner. If not operable, check for an open or loose cir-
cuit breaker mounted in board on the relay bank in
cavity 15. (2) Check for continuity between 2-way connector
under driver's seat and pin 1 at control module 10-
way connector (Fig. 16 and 17). (3) Check for continuity between 2-way connector
under driver's seat and pin 6 at control module 10-
way connector. (4) Check for any movement of the seat by operat-
ing the seat switch.If movement the circuit is good
into the control module. (5) No movement check for an open or loose fuse in
cavity 15 of the fuse block. (6) Check for battery voltage to pin 3 of driver's
power seat switch.

ity 9 and pin 7 of the control module 25-way connec-
tor. The vehicle speed sensor signal can be tested
with a volt/ohmmeter at pin 7 of the control module
25-way connector. Turn on the vehicle ignition and
check fo r a 5 volt signal as the vehicle is moved
about 3 to 5 feet. If not repair open wiring, terminal
push out, bad crimp, drive in vehicle speed sensor,
etc., as necessary to correct condition. Ensure that
the 25-way connector is plugged into the control
module securely. Road test vehicle after repairs have
been made to ensure that no recalls can occur while
moving.
CONDITION: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER SPEEDOMETER STAYS AT 0 MPH/ (0 KM/H)WHILE VEHICLE IS MOVING, BODYCOMPUTER DOES NOT LOCK DOORS AT 15MPH (24 KM/H), AND THE SPEED CONTROLWILL NOT ACCEPT A SPEED SET.
PROCEDURE
(1) Remove driver's seat anchor bolts and nuts. Ad-
just the driver's seat to a safe driving position. Dis-
connect the 25-way connector from the memory seat
control module. Replace the driver's seat anchor bolts
and nuts. Road test the vehicle to complete this diag-
nosis. If the doors lock, the cruise control accepts a
set, and the speedometer now works, replace the
Memory Seat control module. (2) After replacing the Memory Seat control mod-
ule, perform the memory seat diagnostic self tests.
This teaches the new module it's soft limits and now
re-road test the vehicle before returning it to the cus-
tomer.
CONDITION: NO SEAT MOVEMENT IN THE RECALL MODE, SEAT WILL MOVE BYMANUAL SWITCH ACTUATION IN ALLDIRECTIONS WITHOUT STALL DETECTION.
PROCEDURE
(1) Check for 5 volts at pin 10 of the control mod-
ule 25-way connector. This is the 5 volt feed from the
control module to the seat track position sensing po-
tentiometer. (2) Check for ground at pin 8 of the control module
25-way connector. To test for ground, one lead of the
voltmeter must be connected to either the 5 volt sup-
ply for the control module or the battery positive. If
the sense voltage and ground are NOT present at the
above pins of the 21-way control module connector.
When the seat switch is pressed, replace the control
module. An inadvertent application of battery volt-
age to the circuit could damaged the control module.
If the voltage and ground circuits are present then
continue this procedure. (3) Check for 5 volts at pin 5 of the natural 5-way
connector plugged into the power seat adjuster mo-
tors end-bell. (4) Check for ground at pin 4 of the natural 5-way
connector plugged into the power seat adjuster mo-
tors end-bell. If the power seat adjuster still has no
movement in the recall mode, then continue this pro-
cedure. (5) Disconnect the natural 5-way connector from
the power seat adjuster motors end-bell. (6) Check with an ohmmeter for a resistance read-
ing that may be from 2600 to 4000 ohms between
pins 4 and 5 of the motors end-bell connector. If
there is an open circuit reading or the reading ob-
tained falls outside this range, then replace the seat
motor package assembly. After replacement of the
seat motor package, reconnect all wiring connectors
and reinstall seat assembly in vehicle. Operate the
switches manually to cause maximum seat move-
ment in all directions. Perform the memory seat di-
agnostic self check so the control module will learn
the new soft limits of the assembly.
CONDITION: NO SEAT TRACK FORWARD OR REARWARD MOVEMENT IN THE RECALLMODE, SEAT TRACK WILL MOVE FORWARDOR REARWARD BY MANUAL SWITCHACTUATION WITHOUT STALL DETECTION.
PROCEDURE
(1) Check for a voltage at pin 12 of the control
module 21-way connector. Less than 5 volts for the
seat track fully forward and more than 0 volts when
fully rearward. This voltage should vary correspond-
ing to the position. (2) Check for a voltage at pin 1 of the natural
5-way connector, Same as in step (1) above. The
ground lead connected to pin 4 of the 5-way connec-
tor. If the voltage reading is at 0 volts, disconnect
the 5-way natural connector and check for a short to
ground in the harness. If no short is found, reconnect
the connector and continue the procedure. (3) Check for the voltage to vary as noted above, if
it does not vary as the seat track is moved forward
and rearward, the sensing potentiometer is defective.
Replace the seat motor package assembly. After re-
placement of the seat motor package, reconnect all
wiring connectors and reinstall seat assembly in ve-
hicle. Operate the switches manually to cause maxi-
mum seat movement in all directions. Perform the
memory seat diagnostic self check so the control
module will learn the new soft limits of the assem-
bly.
Ä POWER SEATS 8R - 13
Page 721 of 2438

(3) Use an ohmmeter to test the wiring between
the door switch and the control module in the driv-
er's seat. The circuits should be disconnected from
their components at each end. Repair the wiring as
required for open circuits, terminal push outs, or bad
crimps. If the circuits are good to the control module
but the function is still missing, replace the control
module.
CONDITION: NO MOVEMENT OF THE SEAT, RELAYS CAN BE HEARD CLICKING WHENTHE SEAT SWITCH IS ACTIVATED.
PROCEDURE
(1) Check for battery voltage and ground at the ap-
propriate pins of the control module 10-way connec-
tor (Fig. 23). If the proper results are not obtained,
replace the control module. If the circuits are correct,
then continue the procedure.
(2) Check for continuity of the motor circuits from
the control module 10-way connector to the left
power seat motor package (Fig. 24). (3) Repair the wiring as required for open circuits,
terminal push outs, or bad crimps. If the circuits are
good but the seat movement direction is still missing,
replace the seat motor package assembly. After re-
placement of the seat motor package, reconnect all wiring connectors and reinstall seat assembly in ve-
hicle. Operate the switches manually to cause maxi-
mum seat movement in all directions. Perform the
memory seat diagnostic self check so the control
module will learn the new soft limits of the assem-
bly.
CONDITION: NO MOVEMENT OF THE MEMORY MIRRORS WHEN THE POWERMIRROR SWITCH IS ACTUATED, MEMORYMIRRORS MOVE DURING RECALL ONLY.
PROCEDURE
(1) Check for battery voltage at pin 1 of the mem-
ory mirror switch 8-way connector in the driver's
door. This battery feed is through a diode package
that is located in the left cowl side area. A grounded
wire on the switch side of the diode would most
likely cause the diode package to open. Solder and
tape the connections if replacement is necessary. The
fuse is in cavity 13 of the fuse block. (2) Check for ground at pin 5 of the memory mir-
ror switch 8-way connector. Repair as needed. (3) Check for continuity of the memory mirror
switch. Refer to the Group 8T, Mirror Switch Test
Procedure and the Continuity.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Front and rear door window lift motors are of the
permanent magnet type. A positive and negative bat-
tery connection to either of the two motor terminals
will cause the motor to rotate in one direction. Re-
versing current through these same two connections
will cause the motor to rotate in the opposite direc-
tion. Each individual motor is grounded through the
master switch by a black wire attached to the left
cowl panel. It is necessary that the window be free to slide up
and down in the glass channels or tubes and tracks.
If the window is not free to move up and down, the
window lift motor will not be able to move the glass. To determine if the glass is free is to disconnect the
regulator from the glass lift plate, and slide the win-
dow up and down by hand. For conventional arm-sec-
tor regulators, after the lift plate is detached from
the glass, it will slide off the regulator drive arm.
Flex-drive regulators may be detached the same way
or by removing one screw holding the flex rack to the
lift plate drive arm.
WIRING VOLTAGE TEST
The following wiring test determines whether or
not voltage is continuous through the body harness
to switch. After removing switch for testing purposes, care-
fully separate multiple terminal block on wiring har-
ness from switch body. With ignition switch ON
connect one lead of test light to black (or gray) wire
terminal and touch other test light lead to tan wire
terminal. If the test light comes on, the wiring cir-
cuit between the battery and switch is functional. If
light does not come on, check 30 amp main fuse (cir- cuit breaker) or for a broken wire. For wiring, spe-
cific connector type and location, refer to Group 8W,
Wiring Diagrams.
WINDOW LIFT SWITCH TEST
For switch testing, remove the switch from its
mounting. Using an ohmmeter, refer to Window
Switch Continuity Charts to determine if continuity
is correct. If the results are not obtained, replace the
switch. AC and AY Bodies are equipped with an Auto-
Down feature. This feature allows the operator to
lower the driver's window without having to hold the
switch in the down position. The Auto-Down feature
can be activated by pressing the down switch past
the first detent (Stop). To test the auto-down feature, operate the window
in the normal up and down mode. If the window
works correctly in the normal mode, but not in the
auto-down mode, replace the switch. To test the window switch (other than Auto-Down
mode), install a known good switch.
WINDOW LIFT MOTOR TEST
(1) Connect positive (+) lead from a test battery to
either of the two motor terminals. (2) Connect negative (-) lead from test battery to
remaining motor terminal. (3) The motor should now rotate in one direction to
either move window up or down. (a) If window happens to already be in full UP
position and motor is connected so as to rotate in
UP direction no movement will be observed. (b) Likewise, motor connected to DOWN direc-
tion rotation, no movement will be observed if win-
dow is already in full DOWN position.
Ä POWER WINDOWS 8S - 1
Page 729 of 2438

(4) Reverse battery leads (steps 1 and 2 above) and
window should now move. If window does not move,
remove motor. See below for motor removal from ve-
hicle. (5) If window moved completely up or down, motor
should be reversed one more time (reverse leads from
step 4) to complete a full window travel inspection.
GEAR AND PINION REPLACEMENT AND
LUBRICATION
The window glass and mechanism have been found
to move freely. The window motor works. But the
glass does not move up or down. The motor gear and
pinion will need to be replaced (Fig. 1).
When gear and pinion assembly is replaced in gear
box, lubrication of gear box, gear pinion and seal is
necessary. In the event there is no lubricant in gear box, fill
with MOPAR multi-mileage lubricant or equivalent.
Apply a liberal amount of lubricant to inside area of
seal marked A as illustrated in Fig. 1 and sealing
surface at center area of gear and pinion coupling.
Also lubricate center gear box shaft and worm gear.
MOTOR REPLACEMENT CONVENTIONAL
REGULATORS
The following procedure describes replacement of a
defective motor without removing window regulator
or detaching any window system components. This
method of motor replacement is not acceptable if any
of window system parts are loosened or removed from
door such as:
² Lift channels
² Up stops
² Tracks and pivot brackets
² Are already loose by deficiency
² Are to be loosened or removed from the door.
Then use method of repair where entire regulator
is removed from door (Fig. 2 through 9).
REMOVAL
(1) Raise window to full UP position and keep it
there at all times while replacing motor. If window is in
any position other than full UP and motor is separated
from spring loaded regulator, then regulator counterbal-
ance spring will tend to propel window upwards.
WARNING:PLACE A WINDOW BLOCK IN DOOR
THAT WILL POSITIVELY PREVENT WINDOW FROM
GOING DOWN. THIS ACTION WILL PREVENT IN-
JURY THAT COULD BE CAUSED BY INCORRECT
INSTALLATION OF COUNTERBALANCE SPRING
OR UPWARD MOVEMENT OF THE WINDOW.
(2) Disconnect wiring connector from motor which
is located about eleven inches from motor. (3) Remove three mounting screws that hold motor
gearbox to regulator. Remove third screw that se-
cures motor tie-down bracket to inner panel if so
equipped. There are three holes in inner panel which
provide access to three mounting screws that secure
gearbox to regulator (Fig. 2).
