SEATS
WARNING
WARNINGS - RESTRAINT SYSTEM
WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death, during and following any seat beltorchildrestraintanchor
service, carefully inspect all seat belts, buckles, mounting hardware, retractors, tether straps, and anchors
for proper installation, operation, or damage. Replace any belt that is cut, frayed, or torn. Straighten any
belt that is twisted. Tighten any loose fasteners. Replace any belt that has a damaged or ineffective buckle
or retractor. Replace any belt that has a bent or damaged latch plate or anchor plate. Replace any child
restraint anchor or the unit to which the anchor is integral that has been bent or damaged. Never attempt to
repair a seat belt or child restraint component. Always replace damaged orineffective seat belt and child
restraint components with the correct, new and unused replacement parts listed in the DaimlerChrysler
Mopar
Parts Catalog.
WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death, on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the supplemental
restraint system before attempting any steering wheel, steering column,airbag, seat belt tensioner, impact
sensor, or instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
(ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before performing further diag-
nosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the supplemental restraint system. Failure to take the
proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment.
WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death on vehicles equipped with airbags, before performing any
welding operations disconnect and isolate the battery negative (ground)cable and disconnect all wire har-
ness connectors from the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC). Failure totake the proper precautions could
result in accidental airbag deployment and other possible damage to the supplemental restraint system cir-
cuits and components.
WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death, do not attempt to dismantle an airbag unit or tamper with its
inflator. Do not puncture, incinerate, or bring into contact with electricity. Do not store at temperatures
exceeding 93° C (200° F). An airbag inflator unit may contain sodium azide and potassium nitrate. These
materials are poisonous and extremely flammable. Contact with acid, water, or heavy metals may produce
harmful and irritating gases (sodium hydroxide is formed in the presence of moisture) or combustible com-
pounds. An airbag inflator unit may also contain a gas canister pressurizedtoover2500psi.
WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death, when handling a seat belt tensioner retractor, proper care
should be exercised to keep fingers out from under the retractor cover and away from the seat belt webbing
where it exits from the retractor cover.
WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death, replace all restraint system components only with parts spec-
ified in the DaimlerChrysler Mopar
Parts Catalog. Substitute parts may appear interchangeable, but internal
differences may result in inferior occupant protection.
WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death, the fasteners, screws, and bolts originally used for the
restraint system components must never be replaced with any substitutes.These fasteners have special
coatings and are specifically designed for the restraint system. Any timea new fastener is needed, replace
it with the correct fasteners provided in the service package or specifiedin the DaimlerChrysler Mopar
Parts Catalog.
WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death, when a steering column has an airbag unit attached, never
place the column on the floor or any other surface with the steering wheel orairbag unit face down.

TESTS
1. Verify the battery state of charge (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/BATTERY SYSTEM/BATTERY - DIAGNOSIS AND
TESTING).
2. Connect an ammeter (0 to 10 ampere scale selected) in series with the clutch coil feed terminal. Connect a
voltmeter (0 to 20 volt scale selected) to measure voltage across the battery and the clutch coil.
3. With the A/C-heater control in the A/C mode and the blower motor at low speed, start the engine and allow it to
run at a normal idle speed.
4. The A/C compressor clutch should engage immediately, and the clutch coil supply voltage should be within two
volts of the battery voltage. If the coil supply voltage is OK, go to Step 5. If the coil supply voltage is not within
two volts of battery voltage, test the clutch coil feed circuit for excessive voltage drop and repair as necessary.
5. For the acceptable A/C clutch coil current draw specifications refer to24 - HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING -
SPECIFICATIONS. Specifications apply for a work area temperature of 21° C(70° F). If voltage is more than
12.5 volts, add electrical loads by turning on electrical accessories until voltage reads below 12.5 volts.
STANDARD PROCEDURE
A/C CLUTCH PLATE INSPECTION
NOTE: The A/C clutch can be serviced inthe vehicle. The refrigerant systemcan remain fully-charged dur-
ing compressor clutch, pulley and bearing assembly, or coil replacement.
Examine the friction surfaces of the pulley and the
clutch plate (2) for wear. The pulley and clutch plate
should be replaced if there is excessive wear or scor-
ing.
If the friction surfaces are oily, inspect the shaft and
nose area of the A/C compressor (1) for refrigerant oil.
If refrigerant oil is found, the compressor shaft seal is
leaking and the A/C compressor must be replaced.
Check the pulley bearing for roughness or excessive
leakage of grease. Replace the pulley and bearing
assembly, if required.
A/C CLUTCH BREAK-IN
After a new A/C compressor clutch hasbeen installed, cycle the compressorclutch approximately 20 times (5 sec-
onds on, then 5 seconds off). During this procedure, set the A/C-heater controls to the A/C Recirculation Mode, the
blower motor in the highest speed position, and the engine speed at 1500 to 2000 rpm. This procedure (burnishing)
will seat the opposing friction surfaces and provide a higher compressor clutch torque capability.

The A/C-heater control is diagnosed using a scan tool (Refer to 24 - HEATING& AIR CONDITIONING - DIAGNO-
SIS AND TESTING and to 24 - HVAC Electrical Diagnostics for more information).
The A/C-heater control cannot be repaired and, if faulty or damaged, it must be replaced. The illumination lamps for
the A/C-heater control are available for service replacement.
REMOVAL
WARNING: On vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the airbag system before attempting any steering
wheel, steering column, or instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the
battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the airbag system capacitor to discharge before
performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the airbag system. Failure to
take the proper precautions could result in an accidental airbag deployment and possible personal injury or
death.
