INTRODUCTION TO MOTORIST ASSURANCE PROGRAM (MAP)
OVERVIEW OF MOTORIST ASSURANCE PROGRAM
The Motorist Assurance Program is the consumer outreach
effort of the Automotive Maintenance and Repair Association, Inc.
(AMRA). Participation in the Motorist Assurance Program is drawn from
retailers, suppliers, independent repair facilities, vehicle
manufacturers and industry associations.
Our organization's mission is to strengthen the relationship
between the consumer and the auto repair industry. We produce
materials that give motorists the information and encouragement to
take greater responsibility for their vehicles-through proper,
manufacturer-recommended, maintenance. We encourage participating
service and repair shops (including franchisees and dealers) to adopt
(1) a Pledge of Assurance to their Customers and (2) the Motorist
Assurance Program Standards of Service. All participating service
providers have agreed to subscribe to this Pledge and to adhere to the
promulgated Standards of Service demonstrating to their customers that
they are serious about customer satisfaction.
These Standards of Service require that an inspection of the
vehicle's (problem) system be made and the results communicated to the\
customer according to industry standards. Given that the industry did
not have such standards, the Motorist Assurance Program successfully
promulgated industry inspection communication standards in 1994-95 for
the following systems: Exhaust, Brakes, ABS, Steering and Suspension,
Engine Maintenance and Performance, HVAC, and Electrical Systems.
Further, revisions to all of these inspection communication standards
are continually re-published. In addition to these, standards for
Drive Train and Transmissions have recently been promulgated.
Participating shops utilize these Uniform Inspection & Communication

side of instrument panel, near transmission tunnel, and unplug heater
control panel-to-heater assembly vacuum harness connector. Disconnect
vacuum harness from center air duct.
2) On models equipped with A/T, unlock ignition switch. Set
parking brake and place gear selector lever in "L" position. If
equipped, set tilt steering column in lowest position.
3) On all models, remove screw securing cluster bezel to
instrument panel. See Fig. 8. Carefully pry bezel away from instrument
panel to disengage clips. Unplug connectors from cigarette lighter and
auxiliary power outlet.
4) Remove 4 bolts attaching heater control panel. Pull
control panel outward enough to disconnect wiring connector and vacuum
harness. Remove heater control panel. To install, reverse removal
procedure.

CAUTION: Use care when removing or installing instrument cluster bezel
so as not to damage trip odometer reset button. If trip
odometer reset button is damaged, instrument cluster must be
replaced.
Removal & Installation (Ram Van/Wagon)
1) Disconnect negative battery cable. Remove engine cover
from passenger compartment. Reach between upper dash panel engine
housing extension and bottom of instrument panel. Disconnect vacuum
harness connector located near left defroster outlet of distribution
duct.
2) On models equipped with A/T, unlock ignition switch. Set
parking brake and place gear selector lever in "L" position. If
equipped, set tilt steering column in lowest position. Carefully pry
bezel away from instrument panel to disengage clips. Pull bezel away
far enough to clear trip odometer reset button. Remove bezel.
3) Remove 3 bolts from heater control panel. Pull heater
control panel outward enough to disconnect electrical connectors and

and hoses are clear and not pinched. Adjusting temperature control
cable. See TEMPERATURE CONTROL CABLE ADJUSTMENT . Tighten bolts and
nuts to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS. Enable air bag
system. See AIR BAG SYSTEM SAFETY article.
Removal & Installation (Ram Pickup)
1) Disconnect negative battery cable. Ensure front wheels are
in a straight-ahead position and steering wheel is in LOCKED position.
Disable air bag system. See AIR BAG SYSTEM SAFETY article. Remove Air
Bag Control Module (ACM) and bracket from floor panel transmission
tunnel. Drain cooling system.
2) Remove left and right cowl side inner trim panels. Remove
knee bolster/steering column cover. Remove hood release and parking
brake release handle bolts from lower instrument panel support.
3) Disconnect driver's side air bag connector at lower left
corner of instrument panel. If equipped, disconnect overdrive lock-out
switch wiring harness connector from instrument panel wire harness
near instrument panel lower reinforcement.
4) Pull PRNDL cable and twist to remove from position arm.
Push tab on bottom of cable retainer upward, then squeeze sides to
remove retainer from column. If equipped, remove tilt lever. Remove
both upper and lower shrouds from column. Remove lower fixed column
shroud. Loosen multifunction switch connector screw. Screw will remain
in connector.
5) Ensure steering wheel is in LOCKED position. Remove
remaining steering column electrical connectors. Remove air bag wiring
harness from steering column wiring trough. Remove wiring trough from
steering column. Remove steering column as an assembly from vehicle.
6) From driver's side of instrument panel, disengage parking
brake release linkage rod from parking brake mechanism. Disconnect
instrument panel wiring harness from parking brake mechanism.
Disconnect 3 wiring harness bulkhead connectors located closest to
dash panel.
7) Disconnect instrument panel left side wiring harness
connectors. Remove screw from center of headlight and dash-to-
instrument panel (bulkhead) connector, and disconnect connector.
Disconnect instrument panel-to-door wiring harness. Disconnect
instrument panel to stoplight switch connector. Disconnect vacuum
harness for heater system.
8) If equipped with an Infinity sound system, disconnect
Infinity wiring harness connector from instrument panel harness
connector that is secured to bulkhead connector.
9) From passenger's side of instrument panel, disconnect
radio antenna coaxial cable connector. Loosen right and left
instrument panel roll-down bracket bolts about .50" (13 mm). Removing
center screw last, remove 5 bolts holding top of instrument panel to
top of dash panel.
10) Roll instrument panel downward and install a temporary
support hook to center hole of dash panel. Support hook should support
instrument panel in rolled-down position, about 18" (457 mm) away from\
dash panel. Disconnect remaining wiring harness connectors. With the
aid of an assistant, remove temporary hook and lift instrument panel
from vehicle.
11) To install, reverse removal procedure. Ensure all wiring
and hoses are clear and not pinched. Tighten bolts and nuts to
specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS . Enable air bag system. See
AIR BAG SYSTEM SAFETY article.

DESCRIPTION & OPERATION
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
All instrument cluster gauges are air core magnetic type.
Tachometer is optional. All gauges use data transferred on Chrysler
Collision Detection (CCD) bus. Instrument cluster incorporates a
Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) for odometer display.

parking brake is applied. Brake warning light also illuminates if
brake hydraulic system failure occurs during service brake
application. Brake warning light bulb test occurs when ignition switch
is in START position.
Oil pressure warning light illuminates when engine oil
pressure is not sufficient to open oil pressure sending unit switch.
Oil pressure warning light bulb test occurs with ignition switch in
RUN position.
All instrument clusters include these analog gauges:
* Coolant Temperature Gauge
* Fuel Gauge
* Oil Pressure Gauge
* Speedometer
* Voltmeter
Instrument clusters include these indicator lights, if
vehicle is equipped with appropriate option:
* Air Bag
* Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)
