EXTERIOR HANDLE SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with a power liftgate or power
locks utilize a exterior handle switch. The exterior
handle switch is a electronic release switch mounted
to the rear license plate lamp housing assembly,
located just above the license plate. This switch con-
trols the power liftgate release function and is also
capable of reversing the power liftgate when it is in
motion. A full power open cycle cannot be performed
using this switch, only one of the power open com-
mand switches (key fob and overhead console
mounted) can be used to perform a full power open
cycle.The exterior handle switch is a serviceable compo-
nent. Consult your MoparŸ parts catalog for a spe-
cific part number.
OPERATION
When the exterior handle switch is depressed, with
the liftgate in the closed position. A message is sent
to the Body Control Module (BCM). The Body Con-
trol Module then sends a signal to the power liftgate
control module via the J1850 PCI data bus circuit.
The power liftgate control module then sends a sig-
nal to the power latch mounted actuator, which
moves the liftgate from the primary closed and
latched position to the open and movable position. If
the liftgate is not pulled open once the latch releases
within a few seconds, the latch will cinch closed
again.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the negative battery
cable.
(2) Open the liftgate and remove the liftgate trim
panel. Refer to the Body section of the service man-
ual for the procedure.
(3) Remove the rear lamp bar assembly from the
vehicle. Refer to the Body section of the service man-
ual for the procedure.
(4) Locate the two wires going to the exterior han-
dle switch. Cut the tie strap and trace the wires to
the large electrical connector and back the wires out
of the large connector and through the grommet.
Refer to the Wiring section of the service manual for
detailed instructions.
(5) Depress the two exterior handle switch retain-
ing tabs and roll the switch out of the light bar
assembly (Fig. 14).
INSTALLATION
(1) Install the handle switch in the light bar
assembly.
(2) Locate the two wires going to the exterior han-
dle switch. Install the wires through the grommet
and in the large connector. Secure with a tie strap.
Refer to the Wiring section of the service manual for
detailed instructions.
NOTE: Be certain wires are reinstalled in the correct
wire cavities. Failure to do so could result in dam-
age to the handle switch. Refer to Wiring Diagrams
if previous notes were not made.

(6) Using an appropriate scan tool, check any
erase any power liftgate control module diagnostic
trouble codes.
(7) Verify power liftgate system and handle switch
operation. Cycle the power liftgate through one com-
plete open and close cycle, this will allow the power
liftgate control module to relearn its cycle with the
new components.
CHIME/THERMISTOR
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with a power liftgate utilize a
chime/thermistor assembly. The chime/thermistor
assembly is a small capacitor shaped electrical com-
ponent mounted to the rear license plate lamp hous-
ing assembly (Fig. 15) , located just above the license
plate. The chime portion of the assembly controls the
audible chime sound heard at the rear of the vehicle
when the power liftgate is in motion. The thermistor
portion of the assembly is a temperature sensor, used
by the power liftgate module.
The chime/thermistor assembly is a serviceable
component. Consult your MoparŸ parts catalog for a
specific part number.
OPERATION
The chime/thermistor assembly performs two dif-
ferent functions for the power liftgate system. First,
the chime portion provides an audible chime sound
which is controlled by the power liftgate module. Thechime/thermistor assembly is hardwired to the power
liftgate module. Second the thermistor provides a
outside temperature reading by way of a resistance
reading (V- ohms) supplied to the power liftgate
module. As temperature increases the resistance
reading (V- ohms) increases , as temperature
decreases the resistance reading (V- ohms)
decreases.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the negative battery
cable.
(2) Remove the rear light bar assembly from the
vehicle. Refer to Body for the procedure.
(3) Using your hands, grasp the light bar at its
sides next to thermistor/chime assembly and gently
pull the two sides of the light bar apart until the
thermistor/chime assembly can be removed.

POWER MIRRORS
DESCRIPTION
If equipped with power mirrors, the control switch
is located on the instrument panel to the left of the
headlamp switch.
OPERATION
The power mirrors are connected to battery feed at
all times. Each mirror head contains two electric
motors, two drive mechanisms, an electric heating
element, and the mirror glass. If the vehicle is
equipped with the optional memory system, each
mirror head also contains both a horizontal and a
vertical motor position sensor. One motor and drive
controls mirror up-and-down movement, and the
other controls right-and-left movement.
An optional driver side outside electrochromic mir-
ror is able to automatically change its reflectance
level. This mirror is controlled by the circuitry of the
automatic day/night inside rear view mirror. A thin
layer of electrochromic material between two pieces
of conductive glass make up the face of the mirror.Two photocell sensors on the inside rear view mirror
are used to monitor light levels and adjust the reflec-
tance of both the inside and driver side outside mir-
rors. This change in reflectance helps to reduce the
glare of headlamps approaching the vehicle from the
rear. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER MIRRORS/
AUTOMATIC DAY / NIGHT MIRROR - DESCRIP-
TION) for more information on this system.
The motors which operate the mirrors are part of
the mirror assembly and cannot be serviced sepa-
rately.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - POWER MIRRORS
(1) Remove Power Mirror Switch. (Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/POWER MIRRORS/POWER MIRROR
SWITCH - REMOVAL).
(2) Disconnect wiring harness connector to the
power mirror switch and headlamp switch.
(3) Using two jumper wires:
²Connect one to a 12-volt source
²Connect the other to a good body ground
²Refer to the Mirror Test Chart for wire hookups
at the switch connector (Fig. 1).

AUTOMATIC DAY / NIGHT
MIRROR
DESCRIPTION
An automatic dimming inside day/night rear view
mirror and an automatic dimming driver side outside
rear view mirror are available factory-installed
options on this model. Following is a general descrip-
tion of this optional equipment.
The automatic day/night mirror is able to automat-
ically change its reflectance. A thin layer of electro-
chromic material between two pieces of conductiveglass make up the face of the mirror. Two photocell
sensors are used to monitor light levels and adjust
the reflectance of the mirror to reduce the glare of
headlamps approaching the vehicle from the rear.
For removal procedures, (Refer to 23 - BODY/IN-
TERIOR/REAR VIEW MIRROR - REMOVAL).
OPERATION
The ambient photocell sensor faces forward, to
detect the outside light levels. A second sensor faces
rearward to detect the light level received through
the vehicles back window. When the difference
between the two light levels becomes too great (the
light level received at the rear of the mirror is much
higher than that at the front of the mirror), the mir-
ror begins to darken.

The mirror switch allows the driver a manual con-
trol of whether the automatic dimming feature is
operational. When AUTO is selected a small Light-
Emitting Diode (LED), to the right of the mirror
switch, is illuminated. The automatic dimming fea-
ture will only operate when the ignition switch is in
the On position. The mirror also senses the backup
lamp circuit, and will automatically disable its self-
dimming feature whenever the transmission gear
selector is in the Reverse position.
NOTE: The mirror always defaults to an ON state
upon ignition.
The driver side automatic dimming mirror is stan-
dard with the automatic dimming inside mirror. The
signal to control the dimming of that mirror is gen-
erated by the automatic day/night inside rear view
mirror circuitry. That signal is then delivered to the
driver side outside rear view mirror on a hard wired
circuit.
The automatic day/night mirror cannot be
repaired. If faulty or damaged, the entire inside rear
view mirror assembly must be replaced.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - AUTOMATIC DAY /
NIGHT MIRROR
For circuit descriptions and diagrams, refer to the
appropriate wiring information. The wiring informa-
tion includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and con-
nector 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.
(1) Check the fuse in the intelligent power module.
If OK, go to Step 2. If not OK, repair the shorted cir-
cuit or component as required and replace the faulty
fuse.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the On position.
Check for battery voltage at the fuse in the intelli-
gent power module. If OK, go to Step 3. If not OK,
repair the open circuit to the ignition switch as
required.
(3) Unplug the wire harness connector from the
automatic day/night mirror. Check for battery voltage
at the fused ignition switch output circuit cavity of
the automatic day/night mirror wire harness connec-
tor. If OK, go to Step 4. If not OK, repair the open
circuit to the junction block as required.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the Off position.
Check for continuity between the ground circuit cav-
ity of the automatic day/night mirror wire harness
connector and a good ground. There should be conti-
nuity. If OK, go to Step 5. If not OK, repair the cir-
cuit to ground as required.(5) Turn the ignition switch to the On position. Set
the parking brake. Place the transmission gear selec-
tor lever in the Reverse position. Check for battery
voltage at the backup lamp switch output circuit cav-
ity of the automatic day/night mirror wire harness
connector. If voltage is present, reinstall the auto-
matic day/night mirror wire harness connector and
go to Step 6. If not OK, repair the open circuit as
required.
(6) Place the transmission gear selector lever in
the Neutral position. Place the automatic day/night
mirror switch in the On (LED in the switch is
lighted) position. Cover the forward facing ambient
photocell sensor to keep out any ambient light.
NOTE: The ambient photocell sensor must be cov-
ered completely, so that no light reaches the sen-
sor. Use a finger pressed tightly against the sensor,
or cover the sensor completely with electrical tape.
(7) Shine a light into the rearward facing head-
lamp photocell sensor. The automatic day/night mir-
ror should darken. The automatic day/night mirror
should darken within 2 minutes if testing for the
first time. For immediate response, turn the vehicle
OFF and back ON with the forward-facing light sen-
sor still covered. This defeats the day-detect logic. If
OK, go to Step 8. If not OK, replace the faulty mirror
unit.
(8) With the mirror darkened, place the transmis-
sion gear selector lever in the Reverse position. The
automatic day/night mirror should return to its nor-
mal reflectance. If not OK, replace the faulty mirror
unit.
Bench testing both mirrors can be done, of care is
exercised. For an inside mirror, the pin closest to he
mount is 12V (+), the next is 12V (-). The third is
reverse override. The fourth is outside mirror (+),
and the fifth is outside mirror (-).Do not apply 12
volts to the fourth and fifth pins.With 12 volts
on pins 1 and 2, the mirror can be tested by blocking
the rear sensor and shining a light into the forward
sensor. For an outside mirror, there is a 2±pin con-
nector. Applying 1.2 volts will cause the mirror to
dim. If the mirror does not dim, the entire glass
assembly can be replaced just as it is when the glass
is broken.
WARNING: Do not apply 12 volts to the outside mir-
ror. Damage to the mirror will result.

MEMORY SET SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with the memory system have a
memory switch mounted to the driver side front door
trim panel (Fig. 5). This switch is used to set and
recall all of the memory system settings for up to two
drivers. The memory switch is a resistor multiplexed
unit that is hard wired to the Body Control Module
(BCM). The BCM sends out the memory system set
and recall requests to the other electronic modules
over the Programmable Communications Interface
(PCI) data bus.
The memory switch cannot be adjusted or repaired
and, if faulty or damaged, it must be replaced. For
complete circuit diagrams, refer toWiring Dia-
grams.
OPERATION
The memory switch has three momentary switch
buttons labeled Set, 1 and 2. The Driver 1 and Driver
2 buttons are back-lit with Light-Emitting Diodes
(LED) for visibility. When the memory set switch is
depressed, a resistance value is sent to the Body
Control Module via hard wired connections. When
the memory system is in ªsetº mode a chime will be
generated by the body control module.

PASSENGER POWER SEAT
TRACK
DESCRIPTION
The eight-way power seat option includes a electri-
cally operated power seat track unit located under
each front seat. The power seat circuit breaker is
mounted on the rear of the power seat track, just
behind the seat rear trim panel. The lower half of the
power seat track is secured to the floor panel via four
studs and nuts that must be accessed from the
underside of the vehicle. Four bolts secure the bot-
tom of the seat cushion frame to the upper half of the
power seat track unit. Four additional bolts secure
the seat back frame to the power seat track unit.
The power seat track unit includes four reversible
electric motors that are secured to the upper half of
the track unit. Each motor moves the seat adjuster
through a combination of worm-drive gearboxes and
screw-type drive units.
The front and rear of the seat are operated by two
separate vertical adjustment motors. These motors
can be operated independently of each other, tilting
the entire seat assembly forward or rearward; or,
they can be operated in unison by selecting the
proper power seat switch functions, which will raise
or lower the entire seat assembly. A third motor is
the horizontal adjustment motor, which moves the
seat track in the forward and rearward directions.
The forth motor is the recliner adjustment motor,
