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.
HEADLAMP UNIT
REMOVAL
(1) Remove the jack screw attaching the top of
headlamp to the headlamp mounting module (Fig.
14).
(2) Grasp upper inboard and lower outboard cor-
ners of headlamp (Fig. 15) and pull headlamp out-
ward.
(3) Remove all of the bulb sockets from headlamp
module.
(4) Separate the headlamp from vehicle.
INSTALLATION

ADJUSTMENTS
VEHICLE PREPARATION FOR LAMP ALIGNMENT
(1) Verify headlamp dimmer switch and high beam
indicator operation.
(2) Correct defective components that could hinder
proper lamp alignment.

vehicle to the center of each headlamp being aligned.
Transfer measurements to screen (with tape) to each
side of vehicle centerline. Use these lines for left/
right adjustment reference.
HEADLAMP ADJUSTMENT
A properly aimed low beam will project the top
edge of the beam intensity pattern on the screen
from 25 mm (1 in.) above to 75 mm (3 in.) below
headlamp centerline. The side-to-side left edge of the
beam intensity pattern should be from 50 mm (2 in.)
left to 50 mm (2 in.) right of headlamp centerline
(Fig. 17).
(1) Clean front of the headlamps.
(2) Place headlamps on LOW beam.(3) Cover front of the headlamp that is not being
adjusted.
