secured loosely to and pivots on the wiper arm hinge
pin to conceal the wiper arm retaining nut. The wide
end of a tapered, stamped steel channel is secured
with a hinge pin to the pivot end of the wiper arm.
One end of a long, rigid, stamped steel strap, with a
small hole near its pivot end, is riveted and crimped
within the narrow end of the stamped steel channel.
The tip of the wiper blade end of this strap is bent
back under itself to form a small hook. Concealed
within the stamped steel channel, one end of a long
spring is engaged with a wire hook on the underside
of the die cast pivot end, while the other end of the
spring is hooked through the small hole in the steel
strap. A molded plastic wiper arm support is snapped
onto the wiper arm strap where it exits the channel.
The entire wiper arm has a satin black finish applied
to all of its visible surfaces.
A wiper arm cannot be adjusted or repaired. If
damaged or faulty, the entire wiper arm unit must be
replaced.
OPERATION
The rear wiper arm is designed to mechanically
transmit the motion from the rear wiper motor out-
put shaft to the rear wiper blade. The wiper arm
must be properly indexed to the motor output shaft
in order to maintain the proper wiper blade travel on
the glass. The wiper arm support is designed to lift
and support the rear wiper arm and blade off of the
glass when the rear wiper blade is parked. This sup-
port and the park ramp on the liftgate outer panel
below the glass also provide an alignment reference
to ensure accurate rear wiper arm and blade instal-
lation. The hole with internal serrations in the wiper
arm pivot end interlocks with the serrations on the
outer circumference of the motor output shaft, allow-
ing positive engagement and finite adjustment of this
connection. A hex nut secures the wiper arm pivot
end to the threads on the motor output shaft and the
pivot cover hinges and snaps over this connection for
a neat appearance. The spring-loaded wiper arm
hinge controls the down-force applied through the tip
of the wiper arm to the wiper blade on the glass. The
hook formation on the tip of the wiper arm provides
a cradle for securing and latching the wiper blade
pivot block to the wiper arm.
REMOVAL
(1) Lift the rear wiper arm pivot cover by lifting it
at the rear wiper motor output shaft end of the arm
(Fig. 8).
(2) Remove the nut that secures the rear wiper
arm to the rear wiper motor output shaft.
(3) Lift the rear wiper arm far enough to engage
the over-center arm hinge in its upright position to
hold the wiper blade off of the liftgate.(4) Use a battery terminal puller to disengage the
wiper arm from the rear wiper motor output shaft
splines (Fig. 9).
(5) Remove the rear wiper arm pivot end from the
motor output shaft.
INSTALLATION
NOTE: Always install the wiper arm and blade with
the wiper motor in the Park position.

(5) Close the rear wiper arm pivot cover.(6) Lift the rear wiper arm support away from the
park ramp, then place the wiper arm support in the
park ramp in the Park Position (Fig. 10).
REAR WIPER BLADE
DESCRIPTION
The rear wiper blade is secured by an integral
latching pivot block to the hook formation on the tip
of the rear wiper arm, and rests off the glass near
the base of the liftgate glass opening when the wiper
is not in operation. The wiper blade consists of the
following components:
²Superstructure- The superstructure includes
a stamped steel bridge and plastic links with claw
formations that grip the wiper blade element. Also
included in this unit is the latching, molded plastic
pivot block that secures the superstructure to the
wiper arm. All of the metal components of the wiper
blade have a satin black finish applied.
²Element- The wiper element or squeegee is the
resilient rubber member of the wiper blade that con-
tacts the glass.
²Flexor- The flexor is a rigid metal component
running along the length of each side of the wiper
element where it is gripped by the claws of the
superstructure.
All Grand Cherokee models have a single 31.00
centimeter (12.20 inch) rear wiper blade with a non-
replaceable rubber element (squeegee). The wiper
blade cannot be adjusted or repaired. If faulty, worn,
or damaged the entire wiper blade unit must be
replaced.
OPERATION
The wiper blade is moved back and forth across the
glass by the wiper arm when the wiper system is in
operation. The wiper blade superstructure is the flex-
ible frame that grips the wiper blade element and
evenly distributes the force of the spring-loaded
wiper arm along the length of the element. The com-
bination of the wiper arm force and the flexibility of
the superstructure makes the element conform to
and maintain proper contact with the glass, even as
the blade is moved over the varied curvature found
across the glass surface. The wiper element flexor
provides the claws of the blade superstructure with a
rigid, yet flexible component on the element which
can be gripped. The rubber element is designed to be
stiff enough to maintain an even cleaning edge as it
is drawn across the glass, but resilient enough to
conform to the glass surface and flip from one clean-
ing edge to the other each time the wiper blade
changes directions.

motor that is secured with screws to the wiper motor
and to the liftgate inner panel.
²Electronic Controls- The rear wiper module
electronic controls include the rear wiper system
electronic logic and rear wiper motor electronic con-
trols. The electronic controls for the motor include an
electronic speed control that speeds the wiper blade
near the center of the glass, but slows the wiper
blade during directional reversals at each end of the
wipe pattern and during wiper blade off-the-glass
parking for quieter operation.
²Motor- The permanent magnet rear wiper
motor is secured with screws to the rear wiper mod-
ule bracket. The wiper motor includes an integral
transmission, and the motor output shaft.
The rear wiper module cannot be adjusted or
repaired. If any component of the module is faulty or
damaged, the entire rear wiper module unit must be
replaced. The motor output shaft gasket, bezel, nut,
and nut cover are available for service replacement.
OPERATION
The rear wiper module receives non-switched bat-
tery current through a fuse in the Junction Block
(JB) and is grounded at all times. The rear wiper
module operation is controlled by the vehicle operator
through battery current signal inputs received by the
rear wiper module electronic controls from the right
multi-function switch on the steering column. The
module also receives an external control input from
the liftgate flip-up glass ajar switch circuit. The rear
wiper module electronic control logic uses these
inputs, its internal inputs, and its programming to
provide continuous wipe, delay wipe, wipe-after-wash
and off-the-glass wiper blade parking. The wiper
blade cycling is controlled by the rear wiper module
electronic controls, which control current flow to the
wiper motor brushes. The wiper motor transmission
converts the rotary output of the wiper motor to the
back and forth wiping motion of the rear wiper arm
and blade on the liftgate glass.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Remove the rear wiper arm from the rear
wiper motor output shaft. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRI-
CAL/REAR WIPERS/WASHERS/REAR WIPER ARM

(3) Use a door trim panel removal tool to gently
pry at the base of the nut cover where it meets the
wiper motor output shaft bezel and gasket on the
outer liftgate panel until it unsnaps from the bezel
(Fig. 13). Be certain to use proper caution to protect
the outer liftgate panel and its paint finish from
damage during this procedure.(4) Remove the nut that secures the rear wiper
motor output shaft to the outer liftgate panel.
(5) Remove the bezel and gasket from the rear
wiper motor output shaft.
(6) Remove the trim panel from the inside of the
liftgate. (Refer to 23 - BODY/DECKLID/HATCH/

DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION - HOW TO USE WIRING
DIAGRAMS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are
designed to provide information regarding the vehi-
cles wiring content. In order to effectively use the
wiring diagrams to diagnose and repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important
to understand all of their features and characteris-
tics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+)
side of the circuit is placed near the top of the page,
and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near
the bottom of the page (Fig. 1).
All switches, components, and modules are shown
in the at rest position with the doors closed and the
key removed from the ignition (Fig. 2).Components are shown two ways. A solid line
around a component indicates that the component is
complete. A dashed line around the component indi-
cates that the component is being shown is not com-
plete. Incomplete components have a reference
number to indicate the page where the component is
shown complete.
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 possible, with regard to function only.
SYMBOLS
International symbols are used throughout the wir-
ing diagrams. These symbols are consistent with
those being used around the world (Fig. 3).

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
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 con-
nect 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 cir-
cuit. 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 vehicles are Solid State. When checking
voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 -
megohm or greater impedance rating.
WJ8W-01 WIRING DIAGRAM INFORMATION 8W - 01 - 7
WIRING DIAGRAM INFORMATION (Continued)

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 vehicles are Solid State. When checking
resistance in these circuits use a meter with a 10 -
megohm or greater impedance rating. In addition,
make sure the power is disconnected from the cir-
cuit. Circuits that are powered up by the vehicle's
electrical system can cause damage to the equip-
ment and provide false readings.
²Probing Tools - These tools are used for probing
terminals in connectors (Fig. 5). 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
possible 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 into
position
²
Dirt 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 or moisture
²Wire insulation that has rubbed through causing
a short to ground
²Some or all of the wiring strands broken inside
of the insulation
²Wiring broken inside of the insulation
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING PROBLEMS
When troubleshooting wiring problems there are
six steps which can aid in the procedure. The stepsare 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 area.
(6) Verify the proper operation. For this step,
check for proper operation of all items on the
repaired circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams.
STANDARD PROCEDURE
STANDARD PROCEDURE - ELECTROSTATIC
DISCHARGE (ESD) SENSITIVE DEVICES
All ESD sensitive components are solid state and a
symbol (Fig. 6) is used to indicate this. When handling
any component with this symbol, comply with the fol-
lowing procedures to reduce the possibility of electro-
static charge build up on the body and inadvertent
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 procedure.
(3) When using a voltmeter, be sure to connect the
ground lead first.
(4) Do not remove the part form it's protective
packing until it is time to install the part.
(5) Before removing the part from it's pakage,
ground the pakage to a known good ground on the
vehicle.
