control stalk to a detent position selects the Off,
Delay, or On rear wiper system operating modes.
Rotating the control ring on the control stalk to
either of two Wash positions actuates the momentary
rear washer system switch. The multi-function
switch provides hard wired outputs to the rear wiper
module and the washer pump/motor unit for all rear
wiper and washer system functions.
The rear wiper and washer system will only oper-
ate when the ignition switch is in the Accessory or
On positions, and the rear flip-up glass and tailgate
ajar switches are closed. Battery current is directed
from a fuse in the Junction Block (JB) to the multi-
function switch through a fused ignition switch out-
put (run-acc) circuit. The internal circuitry of the
right (wiper) control stalk of the multi-function
switch then provides battery current signals through
a rear wiper on driver circuit and a rear wiper inter-
mittent driver circuit to the rear wiper module and
to the Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM uses
these rear wiper system inputs as a signal to lock the
rear flip-up glass and the tailgate to prevent the rear
flip-up glass or tailgate from being opened for as long
as the rear wiper is operating. The multi-function
switch circuitry also uses this battery current and a
ground circuit input to directly control the operation
and direction of the reversible electric washer pump/
motor unit.
A separate fuse in the JB provides battery current
to the electronic control circuitry of the rear wiper
module through a fused B(+) circuit. The rear wiper
module uses this fused B(+) input to park the rear
wiper blade off of the rear flip-up glass if the ignition
switch is turned to the Off position while the rear
wiper is operating, or if the ignition switch is turned
to the Off position before the rear wiper blade has
parked. However, if the ignition switch is turned to
the Off position while the rear wiper is operating,
then turned back On, the rear wiper switch must be
cycled to the Off position and back to the On or
Delay position before the rear wiper will operate
again. In addition, the rear wiper module receives an
input from the rear flip-up glass ajar switch on a
flip-up glass ajar switch sense circuit, which prevents
the rear wiper from operating when the flip-up glass
is not closed or fully latched.
The hard wired circuits and components of the rear
wiper and washer system may be diagnosed and
tested using conventional diagnostic tools and proce-
dures. Following are paragraphs that briefly describe
the operation of each of the rear wiper and washer
system operating modes.
CONTINUOUS WIPE MODE When the On posi-
tion of the control ring on the right (wiper) control
stalk of the multi-function switch is selected, the
multi-function switch circuitry directs a battery cur-rent signal to the rear wiper module through the
rear wiper on driver circuit, causing the rear wiper to
cycle continuously at a fixed speed.
INTERMITTENT WIPE MODE When the Delay
position of the control ring on the right (wiper) con-
trol stalk of the multi-function switch is selected, the
multi-function switch circuitry directs a battery cur-
rent signal to the rear wiper module through the
rear wiper intermittent driver circuit, causing the
rear wiper to cycle intermittently at a fixed delay
interval.
WASH MODE When the momentary Wash (after
On) position of the control ring on the right (wiper)
control stalk of the multi-function switch is selected,
the multi-function switch circuitry directs both bat-
tery current and ground to the washer pump/motor
unit, and a battery current signal to be provided to
the rear wiper module through the rear wiper on
driver circuit. This will cause the washer pump/mo-
tor unit to be energized and the rear wiper to cycle
continuously at a fixed speed for as long as the rear
Wash switch is held closed.
WIPE-AFTER-WASH MODE When the momentary
Wash (before Off) position of the control ring on the
right (wiper) control stalk of the multi-function
switch is selected, the multi-function switch circuitry
directs both battery current and ground to the
washer pump/motor unit, and a battery current sig-
nal to be provided to the rear wiper module through
the rear wiper on driver circuit. This will cause the
washer pump/motor unit to be energized and the rear
wiper to cycle continuously at a fixed speed for as
long as the rear Wash switch is held closed. When
the control ring is released to the Off position, the
washer pump/motor is de-energized, but the circuitry
within the rear wiper module will provide several
additional wipe cycles to complete the wipe-after-
wash mode cycle.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - REAR WIPER &
WASHER SYSTEM
REAR WIPER SYSTEM
The diagnosis found here addresses an electrically
inoperative rear wiper system. If the rear wiper
motor operates, but the wiper does not move on the
rear flip-up glass, inspect the mechanical connection
between the rear wiper arm and the rear wiper
motor output shaft. If OK, replace the faulty rear
wiper module. If the wiper operates, but chatters,
lifts, or does not clear the glass, clean and inspect
the rear wiper system components as required. (Refer
to 8 - ELECTRICAL/REAR WIPERS/WASHERS -
INSPECTION) and (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/
REAR WIPERS/WASHERS - CLEANING). Refer to
the appropriate wiring information. The wiring infor-

CLEANING - REAR WIPER & WASHER SYSTEM
REAR WIPER SYSTEM
The squeegee of a wiper blade exposed to the ele-
ments for a long time tends to lose its wiping effec-
tiveness. Periodic cleaning of the squeegee is
suggested to remove any deposits of salt or road film.
The wiper blade, arm, and rear flip-up glass should
only be cleaned using a sponge or soft cloth and
windshield washer fluid, a mild detergent, or a non-
abrasive cleaner. If the wiper blade continues to
leave streaks, smears, hazing, or beading on the
glass after thorough cleaning of the squeegees and
the glass, the entire wiper blade assembly must be
replaced.
CAUTION: Protect the rubber squeegee of the wiper
blade from any petroleum-based cleaners, solvents,
or contaminants. These products can rapidly deteri-
orate the rubber squeegee.

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.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
²Dirt or corrosion on the terminals. Any amount
of corrosion or dirt could cause an intermittent prob-
lem
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

WIRING DIAGRAM INFORMATION (Continued)

Possible indications of the cylinder head gasket
leaking between a cylinder and an adjacent water
jacket are:
²Engine overheating
²Loss of coolant
²Excessive steam (white smoke) emitting from
exhaust
²Coolant foaming
CYLINDER-TO-CYLINDER LEAKAGE TEST
To determine if an engine cylinder head gasket is
leaking between adjacent cylinders, follow the proce-
dures in Cylinder Compression Pressure Test (Refer
to 9 - ENGINE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING). An
engine cylinder head gasket leaking between adja-
cent cylinders will result in approximately a 50±70%
reduction in compression pressure.
CYLINDER-TO-WATER JACKET LEAKAGE TEST
WARNING: USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN THE
ENGINE IS OPERATING WITH COOLANT PRES-
SURE CAP REMOVED.
VISUAL TEST METHOD
With the engine cool, remove the coolant pressure
cap. Start the engine and allow it to warm up until
thermostat opens.
If a large combustion/compression pressure leak
exists, bubbles will be visible in the coolant.
COOLING SYSTEM TESTER METHOD
WARNING: WITH COOLING SYSTEM TESTER IN
PLACE, PRESSURE WILL BUILD UP FAST. EXCES-
SIVE PRESSURE BUILT UP, BY CONTINUOUS
ENGINE OPERATION, MUST BE RELEASED TO A
SAFE PRESSURE POINT. NEVER PERMIT PRES-
SURE TO EXCEED 138 kPa (20 psi).
Install Cooling System Tester 7700 or equivalent to
pressure cap neck. Start the engine and observe the
tester's pressure gauge. If gauge pulsates with every
power stroke of a cylinder a combustion pressure
leak is evident.
CHEMICAL TEST METHOD
Combustion leaks into the cooling system can also
be checked by using Bloc-Chek Kit C-3685-A or
equivalent. Perform test following the procedures
supplied with the tool kit.
