lock DODGE RAM SRT-10 2006 Service Repair Manual

17. Using a 125 mm (5 in.) 24 grit disc grinder, grind
a50mm(2in.)to75mm(3in.)wideand2mm
(0.080 in.) deep path across the gaps around the
patch. With compressed air, blow dust from
around patch.
18. Apply adhesive backed nylon mesh (dry wall tape)
over gaps around patch.
19. Mix enough adhesive to cover the entire patch
area.
20. Apply adhesive over the mesh around patch, and
smooth epoxy with a wide spreader to reduce fin-
ish grinding. Use two to three layers of mesh and
adhesive to create a stronger repair.
PATCHED PANEL SURFACING
After patch panel is installed, the patch area can be finished using the same methods as finishing other types of
body panels. If mesh material is exposed in the patched area, grind surfacedown, and apply a coat of high quality
rigid plastic body filler. Prime, block sand, and paint as required.

BODY ISOLATORS
REMOVAL
NOTE: Quad Cab model shown in the illustration.
Body isolators for Regular cab models are similar.
1. Loosen all cab to frame mounting bolts (5) (six
Regular cab, eight Quad Cab).
2. Remove the mounting bolts and rebound cushions
(3) as necessary.
NOTE: If servicing the rear isolators (2), remove
the reinforcement plates (6) and the washers (4).
3. Using a floor jack and wooden block under the cab
sill (1), lift the body to gain access to the isolators
and remove the isolators as necessary.
INSTALLATION
NOTE: Quad Cab model shown in the illustration.
Body isolators for Regular cab models are similar.
1. Position the isolators (2) under the cab as neces-
sary.
CAUTION: If servicing the rear isolators, install the
reinforcement plates (6) and the washers (4).
2. Lower the cab onto the isolators and install the
mounting bolts (5) and rebound cushions (3) as
necessary (six Regular cab, eight Quad Cab).
3. Tighten the mounting bolts to 81 Nꞏm (60 ft. lbs.).

4. Remove the screws and remove the knee blocker.
INSTALLATION
1. Install the knee blocker (2) and install the screws
(1).

INSTALLATION
NOTE: Free pivot hinge cover is installed with the
free pivot hinge (Refer to 23 - BODY/SEATS/CEN-
TER SEAT BACK HINGE - INSTALLATION).
1. Position the hinge cover (1) over the hinge (2) and
close over the lock tabs (3).
2. Install the pivot bolt (5) and tighten to 10 Nꞏm (89
in. lbs.).
3. Reposition the storage bin/cushion cover (4).
4. Connect the zip strip (1).

5. Remove the headliner (9) and from the inside of
the vehicle, cut the upper urethane bonding from
around windshield upper edge using a suitable
sharp cold knife (C-4849). A pneumatic cutting
device can be used but is not recommended (Refer
to 23 - BODY/INTERIOR/HEADLINER -
REMOVAL).
6. From the outside of the vehicle, cut urethane bond-
ing from the remaining sides of the windshield
using a suitable sharp cold knife (C-4849). A pneu-
matic cutting device can be used but is not recom-
mended.
7. Separate windshield from vehicle.
INSTALLATION
WARNING: Allow the urethane at least 24 hours to
cure before returning the vehicle to use.
CAUTION: Roll down the left and right front door
glass and open the rear glass slider (if available)
before installing windshield. This is to avoid pres-
surizing the passenger compartment if a door is
slammed before the urethane is cured. The poten-
tial for water leaks can result.
The windshield fence should be cleaned of most of its
old urethane bonding material. A small amount of old
urethane, approximately 1-2 mm in height, should
remain on the fence. Do not grind off or completely
remove all old urethane from the fence, the paint fin-
ish and bonding strength will be adversely affected.
1. Place replacement windshield (1) into windshield opening and positionglass in the center of the opening against
the support spacers (3). Mark the outside surface of the glass at the support spacers (3) with a grease pencil or
pieces of masking tape and ink pen to use as a reference (2) for installation. Remove replacement windshield
from windshield opening.
2. Position the windshield (1) inside up on a suitable
work surface with two padded, wood 10 cm by 10
cm by 50 cm (4 in. by 4 in. by 20 in.) blocks (3),
placed parallel 75 cm (2.5 ft.) apart.
3. Clean inside of windshield with MOPAR
Glass
Cleaner and lint-free cloth.
4. Apply clear glass primer 25 mm (1 in.) wide around
perimeter of windshield and wipe with a new clean
and dry lint- free cloth.
5. Apply black-out primer onto the glass using the
windshield molding as a guide. The primer should
be 15 mm (5/8 in.) wide on the top and sides of the
glass and 25 mm (1 in.) on the bottom of wind-
shield. Allow at least three minutes drying time.

The motor/module is programmed to learn the speed required to drive the panel based on position and recalibrates
itself as needed. If the sunroof becomes uncalibrated, it will only respond to the vent switch. If the vent switch is
pressed, the glass will move toward vent; if the switch is released, all motion stops. In the event that the sunroof
system becomes uncalibrated performthe sunroof position calibration procedure, (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/
POWER TOP/MOTOR - STANDARD PROCEDURE -SUNROOF POSITION CALIBRATION).
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
POWER TOP - SUNROOF
Any diagnosis of the power sunroof system should begin with the use of a scantool and the proper Diagnostic
Procedures Information. The scan tool can provide confirmation that the Controller Area Network (CAN) Data Bus is
functional, that all of the electronic modules are sending and receiving the proper messages on the CAN Data Bus,
and that the power sunroof motor is being sent the proper hard wired output by the sunroof switch.
For complete circuit diagrams, refer to the appropriate wiring information. The wiring information includes wiring dia-
grams, proper wire and connector repair procedures, details of wire harness routing and retention, connector pin-out
information and location views for the various wire harness connectors, splices and grounds.
Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
SUNROOF
Refer to SUNROOF DIAGNOSIS CHART for possible causes. Before beginning sunroof diagnostics verify that all
other power accessories are in proper operating condition. If not, a common electrical problem may exist. Refer to
Wiring Diagrams, in this publication for circuit, splice and component descriptions. Check the condition of the circuit
protection (20 amp circuit breaker in the Junction Block). Inspect all wiring connector pins for proper engagement
and continuity. Check for battery voltage at the power sunroof controller, refer to Wiring Diagrams, for circuit infor-
mation. If battery voltage of more than 10 volts is detected at the controller, proceed with the following tests (the
controller will not operate at less than 10 volts).
Before beginning diagnosis for wind noise or water leaks, verify that the problem was not caused by releasing the
control switch before the sunroof was fully closed. The sunroof module hasa water-management system. If how-
ever, the sunroof glass is in a partial closed position, high pressure water may be forced beyond the water man-
agement system boundariesand onto the headlining.
Every time the sunroof module loses power it must be initialized. This is done by connecting power to the sunroof
and moving the sunroof toward the closed position. When initialization occurs a slight “kick” in the sunroof module
will be seen and heard. This is the indication that the sunroof module is initialized
