HEADLAMP ALIGNMENTÐXJ
Headlamps can be aligned using the screen method
provided in this section. Alignment Tool C4466-A or
equivalent can also be used. Refer to instructions
provided with the tool for proper procedures.The
preferred headlamp alignment setting is 0 for
the left/right adjustment and 1(down for the
up/down adjustment.
HEADLAMP ALIGNMENT PREPARATIONÐXJ
(1) Verify headlamp dimmer switch and high beam
indicator operation.
(2) Correct defective components that could hinder
proper headlamp alignment.
(3) Verify proper tire inflation.
(4) Clean headlamp lenses.
(5) Verify that luggage area is not heavily loaded.

DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS (CANADA ONLY)ÐXJ
SERVICE INFORMATION
The Daytime Running Lights (Headlamps) System
is installed on vehicles manufactured for sale in Can-
ada only. The headlamps are illuminated when the
ignition switch is turned to the ON position. The
DRL module receives a vehicle-moving signal from
the vehicle speed sensor. This provides a constant
headlamps-oncondition as long as the vehicle is
moving. The lamps are illuminated at less than 50
percent of normal intensity.
DRL MODULE REPLACEMENTÐXJ
REMOVAL
The Daytime Running Lights (DRL) module is lo-
cated on the right fender inner panel adjacent to the
dash panel (Fig. 24).
(1) Disconnect the wire harness connector from the
module.
(2) Remove the screws that attach the module to
the fender inner panel.
(3) Remove the module from the fender inner
panel.
INSTALLATION
(1) Position the module on the right fender inner
panel.
(2) Install the attaching screws. Tighten the
screws securely.(3) Connect the wire harness connector to the mod-
ule.

DOME/COURTESY LAMP SERVICE
INFORMATIONÐXJ
Voltage is applied at all times via the dome lamp
fuse to each of the interior lamp bulbs. The interior
lamp bulbs illuminate when they are connected to
body ground via the switch:
²Headlamp switch.
²Glove box switch.
²Door pillar switch.
²Liftgate switch (if the cargo lamp is ON).
If equipped with Security Alarm Module, refer to
Group 8Q, Vehicle Theft Security System.
DOME/COURTESY LAMP TROUBLE DIAGNOSISÐ
XJ
ALL LAMPS INOPERATIVE
(1) Rotate the headlamp switch rheostat clockwise.
The lamps should light. If not OK, remove, inspect
and test the dome lamp fuse. Replace if bad.
(2) If the fuse is OK, repair the open circuit in the
wire harness to vehicle body ground.
ONE LAMP INOPERATIVE
(1) Measure the resistance across the bulb holder
terminals. The ohmmeter should indicate zero ohms.
If not, replace the bulb.
(2) Measure the voltage between the voltage side
of the bulb holder and vehicle body ground. The volt-
meter should indicate battery voltage. If not, repair
the open circuit in the wire harness to the splice.
LAMPS INOPERATIVE WITH ONE OR MORE
DOORS OPENED
(1) Remove the inoperative switch from the door
pillar and connect the switch wire directly to ground.
The lamp should light.
(2) If not, check for an open circuit in black
(ground) wire. Repair as necessary. If lamps still do
not light, replace the switch.
LIGHTED VANITY MIRRORÐXJ
SERVICE INFORMATION
Both the driver and the front passenger sunvisor
can be equipped with a lighted vanity mirror. A lamplocated at each side of the vanity mirror. The lamps
are switched ON automatically when the mirror
cover is lifted (Fig. 1).
Voltage is applied directly to the vanity lamp bulbs
via the dome lamp fuse.
LIGHTED VANITY MIRROR TROUBLE
DIAGNOSISÐXJ
VANITY LAMPS INOPERATIVE
(1) Remove, inspect and test the dome lamp fuse.
Replace if defective.
(2) Test the dome lamp operation. If OK, go to the
next step. If not OK, repair the open circuit in the
wire harness from the splice.
(3) Measure the voltage between the pink wire on
the switch connector and vehicle body ground. The
voltmeter should indicate battery voltage. If not OK,
repair the open circuit in the wire harness from the
splice.
(4) Connect a jumper wire from the ground side of
the switch to a good vehicle body ground. Measure
the resistance to vehicle body ground. The ohmmeter
should indicate zero ohms. If not, repair the open cir-
cuit in the wire harness to vehicle body ground.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Each vehicle is equipped with various lamp assem-
blies. A good ground is necessary for proper lighting
operation. Grounding is provided by the lamp socket
when it comes in contact with the metal body, or
through a separate ground wire.
When changing lamp bulbs check the socket for
corrosion. If corrosion is present, clean it with a wire
brush and coat the inside of the socket lightly with
Mopar Multi-Purpose Grease or equivalent.
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURESÐYJ
When a vehicle experiences problems with the
headlamp system, verify the condition of the batteryconnections, charging system, headlamp bulbs, wire
connectors, relay, high beam dimmer switch and
headlamp switch. Refer to Group 8W, Wiring Dia-
grams for component locations and circuit informa-
tion.
Always begin any diagnosis by testing all of the
fuses and circuit breakers in the system. Refer to
Group 8W, Wiring Diagrams.

REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER
CONTENTS
page page
DIAGNOSIS............................. 1
GENERAL INFORMATION.................. 1SERVICE PROCEDURES................... 3
GENERAL INFORMATION
The electrically-heated rear window defogger is an
available option on XJ (Cherokee), and YJ (Wrangler)
models equipped with the hardtop roof option. Fol-
lowing are general descriptions of the major compo-
nents in the rear window defogger system. Refer to
Group 8W - Wiring Diagrams for complete circuit de-
scriptions and diagrams.
REAR WINDOW GLASS GRID
The heated rear window glass has two electrically-
conductive vertical bus bars and a series of horizon-
tal grid lines made of a silver-ceramic material,
which is baked on and bonded to the inside surface of
the glass. The grid lines and bus bars comprise a
parallel electrical circuit.
When the rear window defogger switch is placed in
the ON position, current is directed to the rear win-
dow grid lines through the bus bars. The grid lines
heat the rear window to clear the surface of fog or
snow. Circuit protection for the heated grid circuit is
provided by fuse 18 (XJ) or fuse 6 (YJ) in the fuse-
block module.
The grid lines and bus bars are highly resistant to
abrasion. However, it is possible for an open to occur
in an individual grid line resulting in no current flow
through the line. The grid lines can be damaged or
scraped off with sharp instruments. Care should be
taken in cleaning the glass or removing foreign ma-
terials, decals or stickers. Normal glass cleaning sol-
vents or hot water used with rags or toweling is
recommended.A repair kit is available to repair the grid lines and
bus bars, or to reinstall the heated glass pigtail
wires.
DEFOGGER SWITCH
The rear window defogger switch is mounted in the
instrument panel left of the steering column for XJ,
or right of the steering column for YJ. The switch cir-
cuit is protected by fuse 8 (XJ) or fuse 9 (YJ) in the
fuseblock module. Actuating the switch energizes the
relay and electronic timer. A light-emitting diode
(LED) in the switch (XJ), or a indicator lamp in the
switch (YJ), illuminates to indicate when the system
is turned on. The defogger switch can not be re-
paired. If faulty, the switch must be replaced.
DEFOGGER RELAY/TIMER
The defogger relay/timer is located in the relay cen-
ter on XJ models, or taped to the instrument panel
wiring harness behind the parking brake pedal in the
left cowl side area on YJ models. When the rear de-
fogger switch is actuated, the rear defogger relay is
energized. This causes current to flow through the
grid circuit for approximately 10 minutes, or until
the rear window defogger switch or ignition switch
are turned off.
DIAGNOSIS
SYSTEM TESTS
Electrically-heated rear window defogger operation
can be confirmed in the following manner:
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
(2) Turn rear window defogger control switch ON.
(3) Monitor vehicle voltmeter. With the control
switch ON, a distinct needle deflection should be
noted.(4) The rear window defogger operation can be
checked by feeling the glass. A distinct difference in
temperature between the grid lines and adjacent
clear glass can be detected within 3 to 4 minutes of
operation.
(5) Using a DC voltmeter, contact terminal A (Fig.
1) (passenger side) with the negative lead, and termi-
