GENERAL INFORMATION
Power door windows are optional equipment on XJ
(Cherokee) models. The power windows operate only
with the ignition switch in the ON position. This
group covers diagnosis and service of the electrical
components peculiar to the power window system.
For service of mechanical components such as the
regulator, lift plate or window tracks refer to Group
23 - Body Components.
Following are general descriptions of the major
components in the power window system. Refer to
Group 8W - Wiring Diagrams for complete circuit de-
scriptions and diagrams.
POWER WINDOW SWITCH
Both front and rear door windows can be raised or
lowered electrically by operating the four two-way
switches on the driver's door panel. A single two-way
switch on each passenger's door panel operates only
the window on that passenger's door. The switches
cannot be repaired. If faulty, they must be replaced.
POWER WINDOW MOTOR
A permanent magnet reversible motor moves the
window regulator through a cable and drum operat-ing mechanism. A positive and negative battery con-
nection to the two motor terminals will cause the
motor to rotate in one direction. Reversing current
through these same two connections will cause the
motor to rotate in the opposite direction. In addition,
each power window motor is equipped with an inte-
gral automatic re-setting circuit breaker to protect
the motor from overloads. The power window motor
and regulator assembly cannot be repaired. If faulty,
the entire assembly must be replaced.
CIRCUIT BREAKER
An automatic re-setting circuit breaker in the fuse-
block module is used to protect the power window
system circuit. The circuit breaker can protect the
system from a short circuit, and can also protect the
system from an overload condition caused by an ob-
structed or stuck window glass or regulator. The cir-
cuit breaker can not be repaired. If faulty, it must be
replaced.
DIAGNOSIS
It is necessary that the window be free to slide up
and down for the power window system to function
properly. If the window is not free to move up and
down, the motor will overload and trip the circuit
breaker. To determine if the glass is free, disconnect
regulator plate from the glass and slide window up
and down by hand.
An alternate method is to shake the glass in the
door, with the glass positioned between the up and
down stop positions. Check that the glass can be
moved slightly from side to side, front to rear, and up
and down. Then check that window is not boundtight in the tracks. If window is free, proceed with di-
agnosis that follows. If window is not free, refer to
Group 23 - Body Components for service procedures.
CIRCUIT BREAKER
Locate correct circuit breaker in fuseblock module.
Pull out slightly, but be sure that circuit breaker ter-
minals still contact terminals in fuseblock module.
Turn ignition switch to ON position. Connect ground
wire of voltmeter to a good ground. With probe of
voltmeter positive lead, check both terminals of cir-
cuit breaker for battery voltage. If only one terminal
JPOWER WINDOWS 8S - 1

has battery voltage, circuit breaker is faulty and
must be replaced. If neither terminal has battery
voltage, repair circuit from ignition switch as re-
quired.
POWER WINDOW SWITCH
Before you proceed with this diagnosis, confirm
proper circuit breaker operation. See Circuit Breaker
diagnosis.
(1) Remove switch from door trim panel. See
Power Window Switch Remove/Install. Carefully sep-
arate multiple terminal block on wiring harness from
switch body.
(2) Check for continuity between connector cavity
for switch pin DX and a good ground. See switch con-
tinuity charts for pin identification. There should be
continuity. If OK, go to next step. If not OK, repair
ground circuit as required.
(3) Turn ignition switch to ON position. Check for
battery voltage at connector cavity for switch pin BY.
If OK, go to next step. If not OK, repair wiring to cir-
cuit breaker as required.
(4) Test switch continuity. See switch continuity
charts to determine if continuity is correct in theOFF, LOCK, UP and DOWN switch positions. If OK,
go to Power Window Motor diagnosis. If not OK, re-
place the switch.
POWER WINDOW MOTOR
Before you proceed with this diagnosis, confirm
proper switch operation. See Power Window Switch
diagnosis.
(1) Remove door trim panel (see Power Window
Motor Remove/Install).
(2) Disconnect motor connector. Apply 12 volts
across the motor terminals to check its operation in
one direction. Reverse the polarity to check the oper-
ation in the other direction. Remember, if window is
in the full up or down position the motor will not op-
erate in that direction by design. If OK, repair wire
harness from the motor to the switch as required. If
not OK, replace the motor.
(3) If motor operates in both directions, check op-
eration through its complete up and down travel. If
not OK, refer to Group 23 - Body Components to
check window glass, tracks, and regulator for stick-
ing, binding or improper adjustment.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Power outside rear view mirrors are an available
option on XJ (Cherokee) models. Following are gen-
eral descriptions of the major components in the
power mirror system. Refer to Group 8W - Wiring Di-
agrams for complete circuit descriptions and dia-
grams.
POWER MIRROR
The power mirrors are connected to battery feed at
all times. Each mirror head contains two electric mo-
tors, two drive mechanisms and the mirror glass.
One motor and drive controls mirror up-and-down
movement, and the other controls right-and-left
movement.
The mirror glass is the only serviced replacement
part for the power mirror assembly. If any other com-ponent of the mirror unit is faulty or damaged, the
entire assembly must be replaced.
POWER MIRROR SWITCH
Both the right and left mirror are controlled by a
multi-function switch located on the front of the cen-
ter console storage compartment, directly below the
armrest. The selector switch is moved right (right
mirror control), left (left mirror control), or center to
turn power mirrors off. Then one of four directional
control buttons is depressed to control movement of
the selected mirror up, down, right, or left. The
power mirror switch is serviced only as a complete
unit.

DIAGNOSIS............................. 2
GENERAL INFORMATION.................. 1SERVICE PROCEDURES................... 4
GENERAL INFORMATION
This group covers the buzzer warning system,
which is standard equipment on XJ (Cherokee)/YJ
(Wrangler) models. The system provides an audible
warning to the driver when it monitors the following
conditions:
²key is in ignition switch with the driver's door
open
²head or park lamps are on with driver's door open
(XJ only)
²driver's seat belt is not buckled with ignition
switch in ON position.
Following are general descriptions of the major
components in the buzzer warning system. Refer to
Group 8W - Wiring Diagrams for complete circuit de-
scriptions and diagrams.
BUZZER MODULE
The buzzer module is located in the fuseblock mod-
ule under the left end of the instrument panel. It re-
ceives battery voltage at all times from (fuse 15 - XJ,
fuse 3 - YJ) the fuseblock module. It also receives a
second battery feed (fuse 17 - XJ, fuse 9 - YJ) when
the ignition switch is in the ON or START position.
Other inputs to the module include the driver's door
jamb switch, the driver's seat belt switch, the ignition
key-in switch, and the headlamp switch (XJ only). The
only output of the module is a timed 4 to 8 second feed
to the seat belt reminder lamp in the message center of
the instrument cluster. The timer function begins after
the ignition switch is turned to the ON position.
The buzzer module can not be repaired. If faulty, it
must be replaced.
DRIVER'S DOOR JAMB SWITCH
The driver's door jamb switch is mounted to the
driver's door hinge pillar. The switch closes a path to
ground for the buzzer module through the key-in
switch or headlamp switch (XJ only) when the driv-
er's door is opened, and opens when the driver's door
is closed. This switch can not be repaired. If faulty, it
must be replaced.
IGNITION KEY-IN SWITCH
XJ MODELS
The key-in switch is integral to the ignition switch,
which is mounted on the right side of the steering col-
umn. It closes a path to ground for the buzzer module
when the ignition key is inserted in the ignition lock cyl-
inder and the driver's door jamb switch is closed (door
open). The switch opens when the key is removed from
the ignition lock cylinder. This switch can not be re-
paired. If faulty, the entire ignition switch must be re-
placed. Refer to Group 8D - Ignition Systems for service
procedures.
YJ MODELS
The key-in switch is mounted within the steering col-
umn in the lock cylinder housing. It closes a path to
ground for the buzzer module when the ignition key is
inserted in the ignition lock cylinder and the driver's
door jamb switch is closed (door open). The switch opens
when the key is removed from the ignition lock cylinder.
This switch is available for service replacement. Refer
to Group 19 - Steering for service procedures.
HEADLAMP SWITCH (XJ ONLY)
The headlamp switch is located in the instrument
panel. It closes a path to ground for the buzzer module
when the park or headlamps are on and the driver's
door jamb switch is closed (door open). The switch opens
the ground path when the park and headlamps are
turned off. The headlamp switch can not be repaired. If
faulty, it must be replaced. Refer to Group 8E - Instru-
ment Panel and Gauges for service procedures.
DRIVER'S SEAT BELT SWITCH
The driver's seat belt switch is integral to the driv-
er's seat belt buckle-half assembly. The switch is nor-
mally closed, providing a ground path to the buzzer
module. When the tip-half of the seat belt is inserted
into the seat belt buckle, the switch opens the buzzer
module ground path. The seat belt switch can not be
repaired. If faulty, the entire driver's seat belt buck-
le-half must be replaced. Refer to Group 23 - Body
Components for service procedures.

the following procedures to reduce the possibility of
electrostatic charge build up on the body and inad-
vertent discharge into the component. If it is not
known whether the part is ESD sensitive, assume
that it is.
(1) Always touch a known good ground before han-
dling the part. This should be repeated while han-
dling the part and more frequently after sliding
across a seat, sitting down from a standing position,
or walking a distance.
(2) Avoid touching electrical terminals of the part,
unless instructed to do so by a written diagnostic
procedure.
(3) When using a voltmeter, be sure to connect the
ground lead first.
(4) Do not remove the part from its protective pack-
ing until it is time to install the part.
(5) Before removing the part from its package,
ground the package to a known good ground on the
vehicle.
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit
there are several common tools necessary. These tools
are listed and explained below.
²Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect
two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass an
open in a circuit.
WARNING: NEVER USE A JUMPER WIRE ACROSS A
LOAD, SUCH AS A MOTOR, CONNECTED BETWEEN
A BATTERY FEED AND GROUND.
²Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit.
Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the
circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used
in today's vehicle are solid state. When checking
voltages in these circuits use a meter with a 10-
megohm or greater impedance.
²Ohmmeter - Used to check the resistance between
two points of a circuit. Low or no resistance in a
circuit means good continuity.CAUTION: - Most of the electrical components used
in today's vehicle are Solid State. When checking
resistance in these circuits use a meter with a 10-
megohm or greater impedance. In addition, make
sure the power is disconnected from the circuit.
Circuits that are powered up by the vehicle electrical
system can cause damage to the equipment and
provide false readings.
²Probing Tools - These tools are used for probing
terminals in connectors (Fig. 7). Select the proper size
tool from Special Tool Package 6807, and insert it into
the terminal being tested. Use the other end of the
tool to insert the meter probe.
INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent electrical problems are caused by
faulty electrical connections or wiring. It is also pos-
sible for a sticking component or relay to cause a
problem. Before condemning a component or wiring
assembly check the following items.
²Connectors are fully seated
²Spread terminals, or terminal push out
²Terminals in the wiring assembly are fully seated
into the connector/component and locked in position
²Dirt or corrosion on the terminals. Any amount of
corrosion or dirt could cause an intermittent problem
²Damaged connector/component casing exposing the
item to dirt and moisture
²Wire insulation that has rubbed through causing a
short to ground
²Wiring broke inside of the insulation
TROUBLESHOOTING TESTS
Before beginning any tests on a vehicle's electrical
system, use the Wiring Diagrams and study the cir-
cuit. Also refer to the Troubleshooting Wiring Prob-
lems section in this section.
TESTING FOR VOLTAGE
(1) Connect the ground lead of a voltmeter to a
known good ground (Fig. 8).
Fig. 6 Electrostatic Discharge Symbol
Fig. 7 Probing Tool
8W - 4 WIRING DIAGRAMSÐGENERAL INFORMATIONJ

(2) Connect the other lead of the voltmeter to the
selected test point. The vehicle ignition may need to
be turned ON to check voltage. Refer to the appropri-
ate test procedure.
TESTING FOR CONTINUITY
(1) Remove the fuse for the circuit being checked or,
disconnect the battery.
(2) Connect one lead of the ohmmeter to one side of
the circuit being tested (Fig. 9).
(3) Connect the other lead to the other end of the
circuit being tested. Low or no resistance means good
continuity.
TESTING FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
(1) Remove the fuse and disconnect all items in-
volved with the fuse.
(2) Connect a test light or a voltmeter across the
terminals of the fuse.
(3) Starting at the fuse block, wiggle the wiring
harness about six to eight inches apart and watch the
voltmeter/test lamp.
(4) If the voltmeter registers voltage or the test
lamp glows, there is a short to ground in that general
area of the wiring harness.
TESTING FOR A SHORT TO GROUND ON
FUSES POWERING SEVERAL LOADS
(1) Refer to the wiring diagrams and disconnect or
isolate all items on the fused circuit.
(2) Replace the blown fuse.
(3) Supply power to the fuse by turning ON the
ignition switch or re-connecting the battery.(4) Start connecting the items in the fuse circuit
one at a time. When the fuse blows the circuit with
the short to ground has been isolated.
TESTING FOR A VOLTAGE DROP
(1) Connect the positive lead of the voltmeter to the
side of the circuit closest to the battery (Fig. 10).
(2) Connect the other lead of the voltmeter to the
other side of the switch or component.
(3) Operate the item.
(4) The voltmeter will show the difference in volt-
age between the two points.
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING PROBLEMS
When troubleshooting wiring problems there are six
steps which can aid in the procedure. The steps are
listed and explained below. Always check for non-
factory items added to the vehicle before doing any
diagnosis. If the vehicle is equipped with these items,
disconnect them to verify these add-on items are not
the cause of the problem.
(1) Verify the problem.
(2) Verify any related symptoms. Do this by per-
forming operational checks on components that are in
the same circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams.
(3) Analyze the symptoms. Use the wiring dia-
grams to determine what the circuit is doing, where
the problem most likely is occurring and where the
diagnosis will continue.
(4) Isolate the problem area.
(5) Repair the problem.
(6) Verify proper operation. For this step, check for
proper operation of all items on the repaired circuit.
Refer to the wiring diagrams.
