allowing current flow to the lamps. As the bimetal
strip cools, the contact points are pushed open and
the cycle repeats.
COMBINATION FLASHER (XJ ONLY)
The combination flasher functions as both the turn
signal and hazard warning flasher on XJ models. The
combination flasher is a smart relay that is located in
the relay center under the lower instrument panel
and inboard of the steering column. The combination
flasher can not be repaired. If faulty, it must be
replaced.
The combination flasher is designed to handle the
current flow requirements of the factory installed
lighting. If supplemental lighting is added to the turn
signal circuits such as when towing a trailer with
lights, the combination flasher will automatically
compensate. This allows the flash rate to remain the
same, regardless of electrical load increases. However,
if a bulb fails in the turn signal or hazard warning
circuits, the flash rate of the remaining bulbs in that
circuit will increase to 120 flashes per minute or
higher.
TURN SIGNAL/HAZARD WARNING SWITCH
(YJ ONLY)
The turn signal and hazard warning switches are
combined into a single unit mounted within the upper
steering column bowl and beneath the steering wheel.
The turn signal lever on the left side of the steering
column is moved up or down to select the right or left
turn signal switch position. The turn signals will only
operate with the ignition switch in the ACCESSORY
or ON position.
The hazard warning button on the right side of the
steering column is pushed in to turn the hazard
warning system on, or pulled out to turn the system
off. The hazard warning system will operate regard-
less of ignition switch position. The turn signal/haz-
ard warning switch can not be repaired. If faulty, the
entire unit must be replaced.
MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH (XJ ONLY)
The multi-function switch assembly (Fig. 1) is
mounted to the left side of the steering column. This
switch contains electrical circuitry for the following
functions:²turn signals
²hazard warning
²headlamp beam selection
²headlamp optical horn
²windshield wipers
²windshield washers.
The information contained in this group addresses
only the switch functions for the turn signal and
hazard warning circuits. For information relative to
other switch functions, refer to the appropriate group.
However, the multi-function switch can not be re-
paired. If any function of the switch is faulty, the
entire switch assembly must be replaced.
TURN SIGNAL INDICATOR LAMPS
These lamps are located in the instrument cluster.
They flash with the exterior turn signal lamps to give
the driver a visual indication that a turn signal or the
hazard warning circuit is operating. For diagnosis
and service of this component, refer to Group 8E -
Instrument Panel and Gauges.
TURN SIGNAL LAMPS
The exterior lamps included in the turn signal and
hazard warning circuits include: the front park/turn
signal, and the rear tail/stop/turn signal. For diagno-
sis and service of these lamps, refer to Group 8L -
Lamps.

GENERAL INFORMATION - XJ
Following are general descriptions of the major
components in the XJ (Cherokee) wiper and washer
systems. Refer to Group 8W - Wiring Diagrams for
complete circuit descriptions and diagrams.
WINDSHIELD WIPER SYSTEM
A two-speed wiper system is standard equipment
on all left-hand drive XJ models. An optional inter-
mittent wipe system is available. The intermittent
wipe system is standard equipment on all right-hand
drive XJ models. The two-speed wiper system allows
the driver to select from two wiper speeds. The inter-
mittent wipe system allows the driver to select from
two wiper speeds or an intermittent wipe feature
that allows a delay between wipes of 2 to 15 seconds.
Refer to the owner's manual for more information on
wiper system controls and operation.
The wipers will operate only when the ignition
switch is in the ACCESSORY or ON position. A cir-
cuit breaker near the fuseblock module protects the
circuitry of the wiper system on left-hand drive mod-
els. The circuit breaker is in the fuseblock module on
right-hand drive models.
WINDSHIELD WASHER SYSTEM
A electrically-operated windshield washer system is
standard equipment on all XJ models. The washers will
operate only when the ignition switch is in the ACCES-
SORY or ON position. A circuit breaker near the fuse-
block module protects the circuitry of the washer
system. Refer to the owner's manual for more informa-
tion on washer system controls and operation.
LIFTGATE WIPER/WASHER SYSTEM
A liftgate wiper/washer system is an available op-
tion on XJ models. The liftgate wiper is a fixed cycle
intermittent wipe system. A single switch on the in-
strument panel controls both the liftgate wiper and
washer functions. These systems will operate only
when the ignition switch is in the ON position. Fuse
1 in the fuseblock module protects the circuitry ofboth the liftgate wiper and washer. Refer to the own-
er's manual for more information on liftgate wiper/
washer system controls and operation.
WIPER ARMS, BLADES, AND ELEMENTS
All XJ models have two 18-inch windshield wiper
blades with replaceable rubber elements (squeegees).
Models with the liftgate wiper option use a single 12-
inch wiper blade with a replaceable rubber element
(squeegee).
Caution should be exercised to protect the rubber
squeegees from any petroleum-based cleaners or con-
taminants, which will rapidly deteriorate the squee-
gee rubber. If squeegees are damaged, worn or
contaminated they must be replaced.
Wiper squeegees exposed to the weather for a long
time tend to lose their wiping effectiveness. Periodic
cleaning of the squeegees is suggested to remove de-
posits of salt and road film. The wiper blades, arms
and windshield or liftgate glass should be cleaned
with a sponge or cloth and a mild detergent or non-
abrasive cleaner. If the squeegees continue to streak
or smear, they should be replaced.
The blades are mounted to spring-loaded wiper
arms. Spring tension of the wiper arms controls the
pressure applied to the blades on the glass. The
windshield wiper arms are attached by an integral
latch to the two wiper pivots on the cowl grille panel
at the base of the windshield. The liftgate wiper arm
is attached by an integral latch directly to the lift-
gate wiper motor output shaft on the liftgate panel.
The wiper arms and blades can not be adjusted or re-
paired. If faulty, they must be replaced.
WIPER LINKAGE AND PIVOTS
The wiper pivots are fastened to the cowl top panel
with screws beneath the cowl cover/grille panel. Each
pivot assembly can be replaced by removing the cowl
grille panel, unsnapping the linkage bushing(s) from
the pivot crank arm pins, and removing the mount-
ing screws.

GENERAL INFORMATION - YJ
Following are general descriptions of the major
components in the YJ (Wrangler) wiper and washer
systems. Refer to Group 8W - Wiring Diagrams for
complete circuit descriptions and diagrams.
WINDSHIELD WIPER SYSTEM
A two-speed wiper system is standard equipment
on all YJ models. An optional intermittent wipe sys-
tem is available. The standard system allows the
driver to select from two wiper speeds. The optional
intermittent wipe system allows the driver to select
from two wiper speeds or an intermittent wipe fea-
ture that allows a delay between wipes of 2 to 15 sec-
onds. Refer to the owner's manual for more
information on wiper system controls and operation.
The wipers will operate only when the ignition
switch is in the ACCESSORY or ON position. A cir-
cuit breaker in the fuseblock module protects the cir-
cuitry of the wiper system.
WINDSHIELD WASHER SYSTEM
A electrically-operated windshield washer system is
standard equipment on all YJ models. The washers
will operate only when the ignition switch is in the
ACCESSORY or ON position. A circuit breaker in the
fuseblock module protects the circuitry of the washer
system. Refer to the owner's manual for more infor-
mation on washer system controls and operation.
LIFTGATE WIPER/WASHER SYSTEM
A liftgate wiper/washer system is an available op-
tion on YJ models equipped with the optional hard-
top. The liftgate wiper is a fixed cycle wipe system. A
single switch on the instrument panel controls both
the liftgate wiper and washer functions. These sys-
tems will operate only when the ignition switch is in
the ON position. Fuse 1 in the fuseblock module pro-
tects the circuitry of both the liftgate wiper and
washer. Refer to the owner's manual for more infor-
mation on liftgate wiper/washer system controls and
operation.
WIPER ARMS, BLADES, AND ELEMENTS
All YJ models have two 12-inch windshield wiper
blades with replaceable rubber elements (squeegees).
Models with the liftgate wiper option use a single 16-
inch wiper blade with a replaceable rubber element
(squeegee).
Caution should be exercised to protect the rubber
squeegees from any petroleum-based cleaners or con-
taminants, which will rapidly deteriorate the squee-
gee rubber. If squeegees are damaged, worn or
contaminated they must be replaced.
Wiper squeegees exposed to the weather for a long
time tend to lose their wiping effectiveness. Periodiccleaning of the squeegees is suggested to remove de-
posits of salt and road film. The wiper blades, arms
and windshield or liftgate glass should be cleaned
with a sponge or cloth and a mild detergent or non-
abrasive cleaner. If the squeegees continue to streak
or smear, they should be replaced.
The blades are mounted to spring-loaded wiper
arms. Spring tension of the wiper arms controls the
pressure applied to the blades on the glass. The
windshield wiper arms are attached by an integral
latch to the two wiper pivots on the windshield frame
at the base of the windshield. The liftgate wiper arm
is attached by an integral latch directly to the lift-
gate wiper motor output shaft on the liftgate glass.
The wiper arms and blades can not be adjusted or re-
paired. If faulty, they must be replaced.
WIPER LINKAGE AND PIVOTS
The wiper pivots are fastened to the windshield
frame with nuts. The pivots and linkage are serviced
through access holes in the interior side of the lower
windshield frame. The two pivots and their connect-
ing link are serviced as a unit. The drive link, which
connects the motor crank arm to the left pivot, is ser-
viced separately.
WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR
The two-speed permanent magnet wiper motor has
an integral transmission and park switch. The motor
is mounted to a cover plate on the interior side of the
lower windshield frame. The wiper motor output
shaft passes through a gasket and the cover plate
into the space between the inner and outer lower
windshield frame, where the crank arm attached to
the output shaft drives the wiper drive link.
Wiper speed is controlled by current flow to the ap-
propriate set of brushes. The wiper motor completes
its wipe cycle when the switch is turned OFF, and
parks the blades in the lowest portion of the wipe
pattern. The wiper motor assembly can not be re-
paired. If faulty, the entire motor assembly must be
replaced. The cover plate, gasket and drive link to
crank arm retaining ring are available for service.
LIFTGATE WIPER MOTOR
The liftgate wiper motor operates in three modes:
²constant wipe that operates when the liftgate
wiper/washer switch is placed in the Wipe position
²constant wipe that operates when the liftgate
washers are operated
²a park mode that runs the motor until the wiper
blade reaches the park position after the liftgate
wiper switch or ignition switch is turned OFF.

HOW TO USE THIS GROUP
The purpose of this group is to show the electrical
circuits in a clear, simple fashion and to make trou-
bleshooting easier. Components that work together
are shown together. All electrical components used in
a specific system are shown on one diagram. The feed
for a system is shown at the top of the page. All
wires, connectors, splices, and components are shown
in the flow of current to the bottom of the page. Wir-
ing which is not part of the circuit represented is ref-
erenced to another page/section, where the complete
circuit is shown. In addition, all switches, compo-
nents, and modules are shown in theat rest posi-
tion with the doors closed and the key removed
from the ignition.
If a component is part of several different circuits,
it is shown in the diagram for each. For example, the
headlamp switch is the main part of the exterior
lighting, but it also affects the interior lighting and
the chime warning system.
It is important to realize that no attempt is
made on the diagrams to represent components
and wiring as they appear on the vehicle. For
example, a short piece of wire is treated the
same as a long one. In addition, switches and
other components are shown as simply as pos-
sible, with regard to function only.
The wiring diagram show circuits for all wheel-
bases. If there is a difference in systems or compo-
nents between wheel-bases, an identifier is placed
next to the component.
SECTION IDENTIFICATION
Sections in Group 8W are organized by sub-sys-
tems. The sections contain circuit operation descrip-
tions, helpful information, and system diagrams. The
intention is to organize information by system, con-
sistently from year to year.
CONNECTOR LOCATIONS
Section 8W-90 contains Connector Location illus-
trations. The illustrations contain the connector
number and component identification. Connector Lo-
cation charts in Section 8W-90 reference the illustra-
tion number for components and connectors.
Section 8W-80 shows each connector and the cir-
cuits involved with that connector. The connectors
are identified using the number on the Diagram
pages.
SPLICE LOCATIONS
Splice Location charts in Section 8W-70 show the
entire splice, and provide references to other sections
the splice serves.
Section 8W-95 contains illustrations that show the
general location of the splices in each harness. The
illustrations show the splice by number, and provide
a written location.

WIPERSÐSTANDARD
A circuit breaker powers the standard wiper sys-
tem. The standard wiper system operates at either
LOW or HIGH speeds.
In the ACCESSORY or RUN position, the ignition
switch connects circuit A1 from fuse 6 in the Power
Distribution Center (PDC) with circuit A48. Circuit
A48 supplies voltage to circuit F86 through the circuit
breaker near the left kick panel.
Circuit F86 is double crimped at the circuit breaker
and supplies power to the wiper switch and the park
switch in the wiper motor. Circuit Z1 from the wiper
motor provides ground for the wiper motor and
switch.
When the operator moves the wiper switch to the
LOW position, battery voltage passes through the
switch to circuit V3. Circuit V3 feeds the wiper motor
low speed brushes. If the operator selects wiper
HIGH speed operation, the wiper switch passes cur-
rent to circuit V4. Circuit V4 feeds the wiper motor
high speed brushes.
As the windshield wiper motor turns, the park
switch, internal to the motor, moves from its DOWN
position to the UP position. When the wiper switch is
turned OFF, the V55 circuit prevents the wipers from
stopping in any position but park.
The windshield washer uses a pump motor located
inside the windshield washer fluid reservoir. When
the washer switch is pressed, power is supplied
through the wiper switch to the pump motor on cir-
cuit V10. Circuit Z1 provide ground for the pump
motor.
HELPFUL INFORMATION
Circuit Z1 also provides ground for the rear wiper
washer pump, radiator fan motor and front end light-
ing.
WIPERSÐINTERMITTENT
A circuit breaker powers the standard wiper sys-
tem. The intermittent wiper system operates at either
LOW or HIGH or DELAY speeds.
In the ACCESSORY or RUN position, the ignition
switch connects circuit A1 from fuse 6 in the PDC
with circuit A48. Circuit A48 supplies voltage to cir-
cuit F86 through the circuit breaker near the left kick
panel.Circuit F86 is double crimped at the circuit breaker
and supplies power to the wiper switch and the park
switch in the wiper motor. Circuit Z1 from the wiper
motor provides ground for the wiper motor and
switch.
When the operator moves the wiper switch to the
LOW position, battery voltage passes through the
switch to circuit V3. Circuit V3 feeds the wiper motor
low speed brushes. If the operator selects wiper
HIGH speed operation, the wiper switch passes cur-
rent to circuit V4. Circuit V4 feeds the wiper motor
high speed brushes.
The DELAY portion of the wiper switch contains a
variable resistor. The variable resistor connects to the
intermittent wiper module through the wiper switch
harness. The amount of delay selected by the operator
determines the voltage drop through the resistor and
the voltage level received by the intermittent wiper
module.
After the intermittent wiper control module deter-
mines the amount of delay selected, it cycles the
wipers by periodically energizing circuit V3. Circuit
V3 powers the wiper motor low speed brushes.
As the windshield wiper motor turns, the park
switch, internal to the motor, moves from its DOWN
position to the UP position. When the wiper switch is
turned OFF, the V55 circuit prevents the wipers from
stopping in any position but park.
The windshield washer uses a pump motor located
inside the windshield washer fluid reservoir. When
the washer switch is pressed, power is supplied
through the wiper switch to the pump motor on cir-
cuit V10. Circuit Z1 provides ground for the pump
motor.
HELPFUL INFORMATION
Circuit Z1 also provides ground for the rear wiper
washer pump, radiator fan motor and front end light-
ing.
REAR WIPER SYSTEM
In the RUN position, the ignition switch connects
circuit A1 from fuse 6 in the PDC with circuit A38.
Circuit A38 connects to a fuse block bus bar that
powers circuit V15 through the fuse in cavity 1. Cir-
cuit V15 supplies power to the rear wiper switch.
