HEADLAMP
DESCRIPTION
The headlamps are modular in design.The head-
lamp module contains five bulbs; a dual filament
headlamp low beam bulb, a single filament high
beam bulb, two turnsignal/park bulbs, and a side
marker bulb.
OPERATION
All headlamp, turnsignal, park lamp, and high
beam operations are controlled by the left multifunc-

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING Ð HEADLAMP
WARNING: EYE PROTECTION SHOULD BE USED
WHEN SERVICING GLASS COMPONENTS. PER-
SONAL INJURY CAN RESULT.
CAUTION: Do not touch the glass of halogen bulbs
with fingers or other possibly oily surface, reduced
bulb life will result. Do not use bulbs other than
those indicated in the Bulb Application table. Dam-
age to lamp and/or Daytime Running Lamp Module
can result. Do not use fuses, circuit breakers or
relays having greater amperage value than indi-
cated on the fuse panel or in the Owners Manual.
Each vehicle is equipped with various lamp assem-
blies. A good power feed and ground are necessary forproper 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.
REMOVAL - BULB
(1) Remove the headlamp.
(2) Turn the bulb socket one quarter turn counter
clockwise.
(3) Remove the socket from lamp (Fig. 13).
(4) Remove the bulb from socket.

HEADLAMP SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The headlamp switch is part of the left multi-func-
tion switch. A knob on the end of the multi-function
switch control stalk controls all of the exterior light-
ing switch functions. The exterior lighting switch is
hard wired to the Body Control Module (BCM).
The exterior lighting switch cannot be adjusted or
repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the entire left
multi-function switch unit must be replaced. (Refer
to 8 - ELECTRICAL/LAMPS/LIGHTING - EXTERI-
OR/TURN SIGNAL/HAZARD SWITCH - REMOVAL)
for the service procedures. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRI-
CAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES/BODY
CONTROL/CENTRAL TIMER MODUL - DESCRIP-
TION) for more information on this component.
OPERATION
The exterior lighting switch uses a hard wired five
volt reference circuit from the BCM, resistor multi-
plexing and a hard wired switch output circuit to
provide the BCM with a zero to five volt signal thatindicates the status of all of the exterior lighting
switch settings. The BCM then uses control outputs
to energize the headlamp and park lamp relays that
activate the exterior lighting circuits.
The BCM monitors the exterior lighting switch sta-
tus, then sends the proper switch status messages to
other modules over the Programmable Communica-
tions Interface (PCI) data bus network. The exterior
lighting switch status is also used by the BCM as an
input for chime warning system operation.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING Ð HEADLAMP
SWITCH
Before testing the headlamp switch, turn on the
exterior lighting and open the driver side front door.
If the exterior lamps of the vehicle operate, but there
is no chime warning issued with the driver side front
door open, (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/LAMPS/
LIGHTING - INTERIOR/DOOR AJAR SWITCH -
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING). If the exterior lamps
of the vehicle are inoperative, but the chime warning
is issued, (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/LAMPS/LIGHT-
ING - EXTERIOR - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).
If the exterior lamps and the chime warning are
both inoperative, test the left multi-function switch.
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/LAMPS/LIGHTING -
EXTERIOR - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING). If the
multi-function switch tests OK, proceed as follows.
The following tests will help to locate a short or open
in the hard wired circuits between the multi-function
switch and the Body Control Module (BCM). For
complete circuit diagrams, refer to the appropriate
wiring information.
WARNING: ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AIR-
BAGS, REFER TO ELECTRICAL, RESTRAINTS
BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY STEERING WHEEL,
STEERING COLUMN, OR INSTRUMENT PANEL
COMPONENT DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE. FAILURE
TO TAKE THE PROPER PRECAUTIONS COULD
RESULT IN ACCIDENTAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT
AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL INJURY.
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable. Disconnect the instrument panel wire harness
connector from the left multi-function switch connec-
tor. Disconnect the instrument panel wire harness
connector from the Body Control Module (BCM).
Check for continuity between the headlamp switch
mux circuit of the instrument panel wire harness
connector for the multi-function switch and a good
ground. There should be no continuity. If OK, go to
Step 2. If not OK, repair the shorted headlamp
switch mux circuit.
(2) Check for continuity between the headlamp
switch mux circuit of the instrument panel wire har-

ness connector for the multi-function switch and the
instrument panel wire harness connector for the
BCM. There should be continuity. If OK, go to Step 3.
If not OK, repair the open headlamp switch mux cir-
cuit.
(3) Check for continuity between the headlamp
switch return circuit of the instrument panel wire
harness connector for the multi-function switch and a
good ground. There should be no continuity. If OK, go
to Step 4. If not OK, repair the shorted headlamp
switch return circuit.
(4) Check for continuity between the headlamp
switch return circuit of the instrument panel wire
harness connector for the multi-function switch and
the instrument panel wire harness connector for the
BCM. There should be continuity. If OK, use a
DRBIIItscan tool and the proper Diagnostic Proce-
dures manual to test the BCM. If not OK, repair the
open headlamp switch return circuit.

LEFT MULTI-FUNCTION
SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The left multi-function switch, its mounting provi-
sions, and its electrical connections are all concealed
beneath the steering column shrouds, just below the
steering wheel (Fig. 22).
A single connector with eleven terminal pins is
located on the back of the switch housing and con-
nects the switch to the vehicle electrical system. The
left multi-function switch supports the following exte-
rior lighting functions:
²Auto Headlamps
²Front Fog Lamps
²Hazard Warning Control
²Headlamps
²Headlamp Beam Selection
²Headlamp Optical Horn
²Park Lamps
²Rear Fog Lamps
²Turn Signal Control
The left multi-function switch also supports the fol-
lowing interior lighting functions:
²Panel Lamps Dimming
²Interior Lamps Defeat²Interior Lamps On
²Parade Mode
The left multi-function switch cannot be adjusted
or repaired. If any function of the switch is faulty, or
if the switch is damaged, the entire switch unit must
be replaced.
OPERATION
The left multi-function switch uses a combination
of resistor multiplexed and conventionally switched
outputs to control the many functions and features it
provides using a minimal number of hard wired cir-
cuits. The switch is grounded to the chassis beneath
the center floor console, just forward of the Airbag
Control Module (ACM). Following are descriptions of
the how the left multi-function switch operates to
control the many exterior lighting functions and fea-
tures it provides:
²Auto Headlamps- The automatic headlamps
feature is provided by the Body Control Module
(BCM), which monitors an input from a photodiode
sensor located on the top of the instrument panel to
detect ambient light levels whenever the ignition
switch is in the On position. Based upon the multi-
plexed input from the left multi-function switch and
the input of the photodiode sensor, the BCM controls
outputs to the park lamp and headlamp relays to
illuminate or extinguish all exterior lighting.
²Front Fog Lamps- The Body Control Module
(BCM) monitors the left multi-function switch then,
based upon that switched ground input, controls an
output to the front fog lamp relay to illuminate or
extinguish the front fog lamps.
