WATER PUMP - 5.9L DIESEL
DESCRIPTION
The water pump is mounted to the engine front
cover between the automatic belt tensioner and the
fan drive pulley (Fig. 60).
The water pump impeller is pressed onto the rear
of a shaft that rotates in a bearing pressed into the
water pump body. The body has a small hole for ven-
tilation. The water pump seals are lubricated by
antifreeze in the coolant mixture. Additional lubrica-
tion is not necessary.
OPERATION
The diesel engine water pump draws coolant from
radiator outlet and circulates it through engine,
heater core and back to radiator inlet. The crank-
shaft pulley drives the water pump with a serpentine
drive belt (Fig. 60).
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTINGÐWATER PUMP
A quick test to determine if pump is working is to
check if heater warms properly. A defective water
pump will not be able to circulate heated coolant
through the long heater hose to the heater core.

procedures, details of wire harness routing and
retention, connector pin-out information and location
views for the various wire harness connectors, splices
and grounds. Following are general descriptions of
the remaining major components in the standard and
optional factory-installed audio systems.
OPERATION
See the owner's manual in the vehicle glove box for
more information on the features, use and operation
of each of the available audio systems.
CENTRAL TIMER MODULE
The high-line or premium Central Timer Module
(CTM) can also control some features of the audio
system when the vehicle is equipped with the
optional RAZ radio receiver and remote radio
switches. A high-line CTM is used on high-line ver-
sions of this vehicle. A premium CTM is used on
vehicles equipped with the optional heated seats. The
CTM combines the functions of a chime/buzzer mod-
ule, an intermittent wipe module, an illuminated
entry module, a remote keyless entry module, and a
vehicle theft security system module in a single unit.
The high-line or premium CTM also controls and
integrates many of the additional electronic functions
and features included on models with this option.
The RAZ radio receiver with a remote radio switch
option is one of the features that the CTM controls.
The CTM is programmed to send switch status mes-sages over the Chrysler Collision Detection (CCD)
data bus to control the volume, seek, and pre-set sta-
tion advance functions of the RAZ radio receiver. The
CTM monitors the status of the remote radio
switches located on the steering wheel through a
hard wired circuit. The CTM then sends the proper
switch status messages to the radio receiver. The
electronic circuitry within the radio receiver responds
to the switch status messages it receives by adjusting
the radio settings as requested.
Refer to Electrical, Body Control/Central Timer
Module for more information on the high-line CTM.
Refer to Remote Radio Switch in Description and
Operation for more information on this component.
In addition, radio receivers connected to the CCD
data bus have several audio system functions that
can be diagnosed using a DRBIIItscan tool. Refer to
the proper Diagnostic Procedures manual for more
information on DRBIIIttesting of the audio systems.

Three notches on the outer circumference of the cap
nut are engaged by matching projections of an
antenna nut wrench (Special Tool C-4816) to facili-
tate the removal and installation of this special fas-
tener. Proper tightening of the antenna cap nut is
critical to ensuring proper grounding of the antenna
body to the fender sheet metal, which is necessary
for clear radio signal reception.
A short length of coaxial cable serves as the pri-
mary antenna cable. The center conductor of the
cable is connected to the antenna mast receptacle.
The outer wire mesh of the cable is connected to and
grounded through the antenna body. One end of the
primary antenna cable is securely crimped to the
lower end of the antenna body, while the opposite
end features a simple push/pull-type male coaxial
cable connector that serves as the in-line connector to
the instrument panel (secondary) antenna coaxial
cable. The primary coaxial cable includes a grommet
that seals the cable to an entry hole in the right cowl
side outer panel where the cable passes into the pas-
senger compartment of the vehicle. The secondary
antenna cable has a push/pull-type male coaxial
cable connector on the radio end, and a push/pull-
type female coaxial cable connector on the opposite
end, which serves as the in-line connector to the pri-
mary antenna cable. In the passenger compartment
the primary cable is routed to the lower right side of
the instrument panel, where it is connected to the
secondary instrument panel antenna cable. The
instrument panel antenna cable is routed near the
instrument panel wire harness through the instru-
ment panel to the radio and is secured to the instru-
ment panel structural support with small metal
push-on retainers. This two-piece antenna cable
arrangement allows the instrument panel or the
antenna body and cable to be removed or installed
without disturbing the radio.

The following four tests are used to diagnose the
antenna with an ohmmeter:
²Test 1- Mast to ground test
²Test 2- Tip-of-mast to tip-of-conductor test
²Test 3- Body ground to battery ground test
²Test 4- Body ground to coaxial shield test.The ohmmeter test lead connections for each test
are shown in Antenna Tests (Fig. 1).
NOTE: This model has a two-piece antenna coaxial
cable. Tests 2 and 4 must be conducted in two
steps to isolate a coaxial cable problem; from the
coaxial cable connection under the right end of the
instrument panel near the right cowl side inner
panel to the antenna base, and then from the coax-
ial cable connection to the radio receiver chassis
connection.
TEST 1
Test 1 determines if the antenna mast is insulated
from the base. Proceed as follows:
(1) Disconnect and isolate the antenna coaxial
cable connector from the radio receiver chassis.
(2) Connect one ohmmeter test lead to the tip of
the antenna mast. Connect the other test lead to the
antenna base. Check for continuity.
(3) There should be no continuity. If continuity is
found, replace the faulty or damaged antenna base
and cable assembly.
TEST 2
Test 2 checks the antenna for an open circuit as
follows:
(1) Disconnect the antenna coaxial cable connector
from the radio receiver chassis.
(2) Connect one ohmmeter test lead to the tip of
the antenna mast. Connect the other test lead to the
center pin of the antenna coaxial cable connector.
(3) Continuity should exist (the ohmmeter should
only register a fraction of an ohm). High or infinite
resistance indicates damage to the base and cable

RADIO
DESCRIPTION
Available factory-installed radio receivers for this
model include an AM/FM/cassette (RAS sales code),
an AM/FM/CD/3-band graphic equalizer (RBR sales
code), or an AM/FM/CD/cassette/3-band graphic
equalizer (RAZ sales code). The factory-installed RAZ
sales code radio receivers can also communicate on
the Chrysler Collision Detection (CCD) data bus net-
work through a separate two-way wire harness con-
nector. All factory-installed receivers are stereo
Electronically Tuned Radios (ETR) and include an
electronic digital clock function.
These radio receivers can only be serviced by an
authorized radio repair station. See the latest War-
ranty Policies and Procedures manual for a current
listing of authorized radio repair stations.
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
accessories that require battery current when the
ignition switch is in the Off position, including the
clock. The IOD fuse is removed to prevent battery
discharge during vehicle storage.
When removing or installing the IOD fuse, it is
important that the ignition switch be in the Off posi-
tion. Failure to place the ignition switch in the Off
position can cause the radio display to become scram-
bled when the IOD fuse is removed and replaced.
Removing and replacing the IOD fuse again, with the
ignition switch in the Off position, will correct the
scrambled display condition.
The IOD fuse should be checked if the radio or
clock displays are inoperative. The IOD fuse is
located in the junction block. Refer to the fuse layout
label on the back of the instrument panel fuse access
panel for IOD fuse identification and location.
OPERATION
The radio receiver operates on fused battery cur-
rent that is available only when the ignition switch is
in the On or Accessory positions. The electronic digi-
tal clock function of the radio operates on fused bat-
tery current supplied through the IOD fuse,
regardless of the ignition switch position.
For more information on the features, setting pro-
cedures, and control functions for each of the avail-
able factory-installed radio receivers, see the owner's
manual in the vehicle glove box. For complete circuit
diagrams, refer to the appropriate wiring informa-
tion. The wiring information includes wiring dia-
grams, proper wire and connector repair procedures,
