FEED CIRCUIT
The following procedure will require a suitable
volt-ampere tester (Fig. 8).
CAUTION: Before performing any starter tests, the
ignition and fuel systems must be disabled.
(1) Connect a volt-ampere tester to the battery ter-
minals (Fig. 9). Refer to the operating instructions
provided with the tester being used.(2) To disable the ignition and fuel systems, dis-
connect the Automatic Shutdown (ASD) Relay. The
ASD relay is located in the Power Distribution Cen-
ter (PDC). Refer to the PDC cover for proper relay
location.
(3) Verify that all lights and accessories are OFF,
and the transmission shift selector is in the PARK
position or with the clutch pedal depressed and SET
parking brake.
CAUTION: Do not overheat the starter motor or
draw the battery voltage below 9.6 volts during
cranking operations.
(4) Rotate and hold the ignition switch in the
START position. Observe the volt-ampere tester (Fig.
8).
²If voltage reads above 9.6 volts, and amperage
draw reads above 280 amps, check for engine seizing
or faulty starter.
²If voltage reads 12.4 volts or greater and amper-
age reads 0 to 10 amps, check for corroded cables
and/or bad connections.
²If voltage is below 9.6 volts and amperage draw
is above 300 amps, the problem is the starter.
Replace the starter. Refer to Starter Removal and
Installation in this section.
(5) After the starting system problems have been
corrected, verify the battery state-of-charge and
charge battery if necessary. Disconnect all testing
equipment and connect the ASD relay. Start the vehi-
cle several times to assure the problem has been cor-
rected.

RESTRAINT SYSTEMS FOR STEERING WHEEL
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION.
The windshield wipers will only operate with the
ignition switch in the ACCESSORY or IGNITION
RUN position. The wiper circuit is protected against
over loads by a fuse in the fuse block and a circuit
breaker within the wiper motor. This protects the cir-
cuitry of the wiper system and the vehicle. The wiper
motor has permanent magnet fields.
The intermittent wiper system, in addition to low
and high speed, has a delay mode and a pulse wipe
mode. The delay mode has a range of 1 to 15 seconds.
Pulse wipe is accomplished by momentarily moving
the stalk lever into the WASH position while the
wiper switch is in either OFF or DELAY position.
The wiper blades then sweep once or twice and
return to the previous wiper switch mode, OFF or
DELAY.The intermittent wiper function is integral to the
wiper switch. All electronics and relay are inside the
switch assembly.
The wiper system completes the wipe cycle when
the switch is turned OFF. The blades park in the
lowest portion of the wipe pattern.
The wiper switch also includes the MIST feature
which provides a single wipe when actuated.
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
WIPER BLADES
Wiper blades, exposed to the weather for a long
period of time, tend to lose their wiping effectiveness.
Periodic cleaning of the wiper blade is suggested to
remove the accumulation of salt and road film. The
wiper blades, arms, and windshield should be
cleaned with a sponge or cloth and a mild detergent
or nonabrasive cleaner. If the blades continue to
streak or smear, they should be replaced. The right
and left wipers are different blade lengths. The
driver side length is 550 mm and the passenger side
length is 475 mm. The blades should not be inter-
changed.

CLEANING AND INSPECTION
WINDSHIELD WIPER BLADE(S)
Wiper blades exposed to the weather for a long
period of time tend to lose their wiping effectiveness.
Periodic cleaning of the wiper blade is recommended
to remove the accumulation of salt and road grime.
The wiper blades, arms and windshield should be
cleaned with a sponge or cloth and a mild detergent
or nonabrasive cleaner. If the wiper blades continue
to streak or smear, they should be replaced. The
wiper blade should run smoothly across the wind-
shield in both directions. The wiper blade should
slightly roll over center when the blade reverses
direction. A wiper blade insert that has lost flexibility
or a wiper arm that has lost spring tension, will
cause the blade to skip or chatter across the wind-
shield. If the wiper blades are new and the wiper
arm spring tension is OK and a chattering sound is
emitted from the wiper(s), the wiper blade is not roll-
ing over center. If this condition exists, refer to
Adjustments, Wiper Arm Adjustment in this section.
ADJUSTMENTS
WINDSHIELD WIPER ARM(S)
(1) Cycle the wiper motor into the PARK position.
(2) Lift the wiper blade off the windshield and
release it.
(3) The wiper blade heel should be parked within 5
mm of the park line. The park line is mark on the
windshield (Fig. 9).
(4) In the event that the wiper blade tip exces-
sively strikes the cowl screen due to long term nor-
mal wear, reposition the wiper blade heel slightly
above the park line. Make sure that the wipers are
in the PARK position.
