(3) Remove the front grill (Refer to 23 - BODY/EX-
TERIOR/GRILLE - REMOVAL).
(4) Remove the cooling fan from the engine, if
equipped.
(5) Remove the two radiator mounting bolts.
(6) Disconnect both transmission cooler lines from
radiator.
(7) Disconnect the connector for the electric fan.
(8) Disconnect the power steering cooler line from
cooler.
(9) Disconnect the radiator upper and lower hoses.
(10) Disconnect the overflow hose from radiator.
(11) The lower part of radiator is equipped with
two alignment dowel pins (Fig. 9). They are located
on the bottom of radiator tank and fit into rubber
grommets. These rubber grommets are pressed into
the radiator lower crossmember.
WARNING: THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM (IF
EQUIPPED) IS UNDER A CONSTANT PRESSURE
EVEN WITH THE ENGINE OFF. REFER TO REFRIG-
ERANT WARNINGS IN, HEATING AND AIR CONDI-
TIONING BEFORE HANDLING ANY AIR
CONDITIONING COMPONENT.
NOTE: The radiator and radiator cooling fan can be
removed as an assembly. It is not necessary toremove the cooling fan before removing or install-
ing the radiator.
(12) Gently lift up and remove radiator from vehi-
cle. Be careful not to scrape the radiator fins against
any other component. Also be careful not to disturb
the air conditioning condenser (if equipped).
CLEANING
Clean radiator fins With the engine cold, apply cold
water and compressed air to the back (engine side) of
the radiator to flush the radiator and/or A/C con-
denser of debris.
INSPECTION
The radiator cooling fins should be checked for
damage or deterioration. Inspect cooling fins to make
sure they are not bent or crushed, these areas result
in reduced heat exchange causing the cooling system
to operate at higher temperatures. Inspect the plastic
end tanks for cracks, damage or leaks.
Inspect the radiator neck for damage or distortion.
INSTALLATION
CAUTION: Before installing the radiator or A/C con-
denser, be sure the radiator-to-body and radiator-to-
A/C condenser rubber air seals are properly
fastened to their original positions. These are used
at the top, bottom and sides of the radiator and A/C
condenser. To prevent overheating, these seals
must be installed to their original positions.
(1) Gently lower the radiator and fan shroud into
the vehicle. Guide the two radiator alignment dowels
into the rubber grommets located in lower radiator
crossmember.
(2) Connect the radiator upper and lower hoses
and hose clamps to radiator.
CAUTION: The tangs on the hose clamps must be
positioned straight down.
(3) Install coolant reserve/overflow tank hose at
radiator.
(4) Connect both transmission cooler lines at the
radiator.
(5) Install both radiator mounting bolts.
(6) Reconnect the electric cooling fan.
(7) Install the grill (Refer to 23 - BODY/EXTERI-
OR/GRILLE - INSTALLATION).
(8) Reinstall the cooling fan to the engine.
(9) Rotate the fan blades (by hand) and check for
interference at fan shroud.
(10) Refill cooling system (Refer to 7 - COOLING -
STANDARD PROCEDURE).

HAZARD SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The hazard switch is integral to the hazard switch
module, which is secured near the center of instrument
panel just above the radio (Fig. 21). Only the hazard
switch button is visible through a dedicated, round, bev-
eled opening on the outer surface of the instrument
panel between the two center panel outlets of the heater
and air conditioning system. A red, stencil-like Interna-
tional Control and Display Symbol icon for ªHazard
Warningº identifies the hazard switch button. On the
opposite end of the black, molded plastic hazard switch
module housing from the switch button is an integral
connector receptacle and a stamped steel mounting
bracket with two latch feature tabs that extend down-
ward, while a short dowel-like alignment pin is integral
to each side of the housing just below the switch button.
The switch module is connected to the vehicle electrical
system through a dedicated take out and connector of
the instrument panel wire harness. Within the hazard
switch module housing is the hazard switch circuitry
and an electronic circuit board with the integral combi-
nation flasher circuitry. The electronic combination
flasher circuitry performs both the hazard flasher and
turn signal flasher functions.
The hazard switch module cannot be adjusted or
repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the unit must be
replaced.
OPERATION
The hazard switch button is slightly recessed in the
instrument panel when the switch is in the Off position,
and latches at a position that is flush with the outer
surface of the instrument panel when in the On posi-tion. The hazard switch module produces an audible
clicking sound that emulates the sound of a conven-
tional flasher whenever the turn signals or the hazard
warning system are activated. The hazard switch mod-
ule receives battery current on a fused B(+) circuit from
a fuse in the Junction Block (JB) at all times for oper-
ation of the hazard warning, and on a fused ignition
switch output (run) circuit from another fuse in the JB
whenever the ignition switch is in the On position for
operation of the turn signals. The module receives a
path to ground through a splice block located in the
instrument panel wire harness with an eyelet terminal
connector that is secured by a nut to a ground stud on
the driver side instrument panel end bracket near the
JB. Inputs to and outputs from the hazard switch mod-
ule include:
²Panel Lamps Dimmer Input- A non-service-
able incandescent bulb soldered onto the hazard
switch module circuit board provides illumination of
the switch button when the exterior lighting is
turned On through an input received on the fused
panel lamps dimmer switch signal circuit. However,
this bulb flashes on and off at full intensity whenever
the hazard switch button is in the On position,
regardless of the status of the exterior lighting.
²Hazard Switch Input- The combination
flasher circuitry of the hazard switch module receives
an internal ground input from the hazard switch to
request hazard flasher operation.
²Multi-Function Switch Input- The combina-
tion flasher circuitry of the hazard switch module
receives separate ground inputs from the turn signal
switch circuitry of the multi-function switch on right
and left turn switch sense circuits to request right or
left turn signal flasher operation.
²Body Control Module Input- The Body Con-
trol Module (BCM) can request hazard flasher opera-
tion by providing a ground path to the combination
flasher circuitry of the hazard switch module through
a hazard lamp control circuit.
²Turn Signal Output- The combination flasher
circuitry within the hazard switch module responds
to the flasher request inputs by energizing and
de-energizing two miniature relays on the module
circuit board. These relays control the switch output
through the right and left turn signal circuits. One
relay controls the right lamps, while the other con-
trols the left.
Because of active electronic elements within the
hazard switch module, it cannot be tested with con-
ventional automotive electrical test equipment. If the
hazard switch module is believed to be faulty, replace
the switch with a known good unit to confirm system
operation.
