GENERAL INFORMATION.................. 1SERVICE PROCEDURES................... 3
GENERAL INFORMATION
The electrically-heated rear window defogger is an
available option on XJ (Cherokee), and YJ (Wrangler)
models equipped with the hardtop roof option. Fol-
lowing are general descriptions of the major compo-
nents in the rear window defogger system. Refer to
Group 8W - Wiring Diagrams for complete circuit de-
scriptions and diagrams.
REAR WINDOW GLASS GRID
The heated rear window glass has two electrically-
conductive vertical bus bars and a series of horizon-
tal grid lines made of a silver-ceramic material,
which is baked on and bonded to the inside surface of
the glass. The grid lines and bus bars comprise a
parallel electrical circuit.
When the rear window defogger switch is placed in
the ON position, current is directed to the rear win-
dow grid lines through the bus bars. The grid lines
heat the rear window to clear the surface of fog or
snow. Circuit protection for the heated grid circuit is
provided by fuse 18 (XJ) or fuse 6 (YJ) in the fuse-
block module.
The grid lines and bus bars are highly resistant to
abrasion. However, it is possible for an open to occur
in an individual grid line resulting in no current flow
through the line. The grid lines can be damaged or
scraped off with sharp instruments. Care should be
taken in cleaning the glass or removing foreign ma-
terials, decals or stickers. Normal glass cleaning sol-
vents or hot water used with rags or toweling is
recommended.A repair kit is available to repair the grid lines and
bus bars, or to reinstall the heated glass pigtail
wires.
DEFOGGER SWITCH
The rear window defogger switch is mounted in the
instrument panel left of the steering column for XJ,
or right of the steering column for YJ. The switch cir-
cuit is protected by fuse 8 (XJ) or fuse 9 (YJ) in the
fuseblock module. Actuating the switch energizes the
relay and electronic timer. A light-emitting diode
(LED) in the switch (XJ), or a indicator lamp in the
switch (YJ), illuminates to indicate when the system
is turned on. The defogger switch can not be re-
paired. If faulty, the switch must be replaced.
DEFOGGER RELAY/TIMER
The defogger relay/timer is located in the relay cen-
ter on XJ models, or taped to the instrument panel
wiring harness behind the parking brake pedal in the
left cowl side area on YJ models. When the rear de-
fogger switch is actuated, the rear defogger relay is
energized. This causes current to flow through the
grid circuit for approximately 10 minutes, or until
the rear window defogger switch or ignition switch
are turned off.
DIAGNOSIS
SYSTEM TESTS
Electrically-heated rear window defogger operation
can be confirmed in the following manner:
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
(2) Turn rear window defogger control switch ON.
(3) Monitor vehicle voltmeter. With the control
switch ON, a distinct needle deflection should be
noted.(4) The rear window defogger operation can be
checked by feeling the glass. A distinct difference in
temperature between the grid lines and adjacent
clear glass can be detected within 3 to 4 minutes of
operation.
(5) Using a DC voltmeter, contact terminal A (Fig.
1) (passenger side) with the negative lead, and termi-

GENERAL INFORMATION
Power locks are optional equipment on XJ (Chero-
kee) models. Power windows and the keyless entry
system are included on vehicles equipped with the
power lock option. All doors and the liftgate can be
locked and unlocked electrically by operating the
switch on either front door panel, or by operating the
lock and unlock buttons of the remote keyless entry
transmitter. The power lock and keyless entry sys-
tems operate with battery power supplied indepen-
dent of the ignition switch.
Following are general descriptions of the major
components in the power lock system. Refer to Group
8W - Wiring Diagrams for complete circuit descrip-
tions and diagrams. Refer to the owner's manual for
more information on the features and use of these
systems.
POWER LOCK SWITCH
The power locks are controlled by a two-way switch
mounted on the trim panel of each front door. The
switch controls battery feed to the lock and unlock
relays. The door lock switches can not be repaired. If
faulty, the entire switch must be replaced.
POWER LOCK/UNLOCK RELAYS
The power lock and unlock relays are located in the
relay center. The relay center is located on the lower
instrument panel reinforcement behind the lower in-
strument panel and just right of the steering column.
The relays respond to inputs from the power lock
switches and the keyless entry module by sending
the correct battery and ground feeds to the lock mo-
tors. The lock and unlock relays can not be repaired.
If faulty, they must be replaced.
POWER LOCK MOTOR
The locks are actuated by a reversible motor
mounted within each door. The motor direction iscontrolled by the battery and ground feeds from the
power lock/unlock relays. The motor can not be re-
paired. If faulty, the entire motor must be replaced.
KEYLESS ENTRY TRANSMITTER
The keyless entry transmitter is equipped with two
buttons labeled Lock and Unlock. It is also designed
to serve as a key fob and is equipped with a key ring.
Each transmitter has a different vehicle access code,
which must be programmed into the memory of the
keyless entry module in the vehicle in order to oper-
ate the locks. The operating range of the infrared
transmitter signal is up to 4.75 meters (15 feet) from
the receiver.
The transmitter operates on two CR1616 3-volt (or
equivalent) batteries. Typical battery life is from one
to two years.
KEYLESS ENTRY MODULE
The keyless entry module is mounted in a housing
on the headliner near the windshield between the
sunvisors, or inside and towards the rear of the over-
head console (if equipped). This module contains the
keyless entry receiver and program logic for the key-
less entry system.
The keyless entry module has a memory function
to retain the vehicle access code of at least one, and
up to four transmitters. The module receives input
from the remote keyless entry transmitter. In re-
sponse to that input, it is programmed to control out-
puts to the lock and unlock relays. The module can
not be repaired and, if faulty, must be replaced.

GENERAL INFORMATION.................. 1SERVICE PROCEDURES................... 3
GENERAL INFORMATION
A six-way driver's side power seat is an available
option on XJ (Cherokee) models. The power seat sys-
tem receives battery feed through fuse 6 in the power
distribution center and circuit breaker 16 in the fuse-
block module at all times.
Following are general descriptions of the major
components in the power seat system. Refer to Group
8W - Wiring Diagrams for complete circuit descrip-
tions and diagrams.
POWER SEAT SWITCH
The power seat can be adjusted in six different
ways using the power seat switch (Fig. 1). The switch
is located on the lower outboard side of the seat
cushion. Refer to the owner's manual for more infor-
mation on power seat switch functions and seat ad-
justing procedures. The individual switches cannot be
repaired. If one switch fails, the entire switch module
must be replaced.
POWER SEAT ADJUSTER/MOTORS
There are three reversible motors that operate the
power seat adjuster. The motors are connected to
worm-drive gearboxes in the adjuster by drive cables.
The front and rear of a seat are operated by differ-
ent motors. They can be raised or lowered indepen-
dently of each other. When the center seat switch is
pushed to the UP or DOWN position, both front and
rear motors operate in unison, moving the entire seat
up or down. The forward-rearward motor is operated
by pushing the center seat switch to the FORWARD
or REARWARD position.
When a switch is actuated, battery feed and a
ground path are applied through the switch contacts
to the motor(s). The motor(s) operate to move the
seat in the selected direction until the switch is re-
leased, or until the travel limit of the power seat ad-juster is reached. When the switch is moved in the
opposite direction, the battery feed and ground path
to the motor(s) are reversed through the switch con-
tacts. This causes the motor to run in the opposite di-
rection.
Each motor contains a self-resetting circuit breaker
to protect it from overload. Consecutive or frequent
resetting must not be allowed to continue or the mo-
tors may be damaged. Make the necessary repairs.
The power seat adjuster and motors can not be re-
paired, and are serviced only as a complete unit. If
any component in this unit should fail, the entire as-
sembly must be replaced.

DIAGNOSIS............................. 1
GENERAL INFORMATION.................. 1SERVICE PROCEDURES................... 7
GENERAL INFORMATION
Power door windows are optional equipment on XJ
(Cherokee) models. The power windows operate only
with the ignition switch in the ON position. This
group covers diagnosis and service of the electrical
components peculiar to the power window system.
For service of mechanical components such as the
regulator, lift plate or window tracks refer to Group
23 - Body Components.
Following are general descriptions of the major
components in the power window system. Refer to
Group 8W - Wiring Diagrams for complete circuit de-
scriptions and diagrams.
POWER WINDOW SWITCH
Both front and rear door windows can be raised or
lowered electrically by operating the four two-way
switches on the driver's door panel. A single two-way
switch on each passenger's door panel operates only
the window on that passenger's door. The switches
cannot be repaired. If faulty, they must be replaced.
POWER WINDOW MOTOR
A permanent magnet reversible motor moves the
window regulator through a cable and drum operat-ing mechanism. A positive and negative battery con-
nection to the two motor terminals will cause the
motor to rotate in one direction. Reversing current
through these same two connections will cause the
motor to rotate in the opposite direction. In addition,
each power window motor is equipped with an inte-
gral automatic re-setting circuit breaker to protect
the motor from overloads. The power window motor
and regulator assembly cannot be repaired. If faulty,
the entire assembly must be replaced.
CIRCUIT BREAKER
An automatic re-setting circuit breaker in the fuse-
block module is used to protect the power window
system circuit. The circuit breaker can protect the
system from a short circuit, and can also protect the
system from an overload condition caused by an ob-
structed or stuck window glass or regulator. The cir-
cuit breaker can not be repaired. If faulty, it must be
replaced.
DIAGNOSIS
It is necessary that the window be free to slide up
and down for the power window system to function
properly. If the window is not free to move up and
down, the motor will overload and trip the circuit
breaker. To determine if the glass is free, disconnect
regulator plate from the glass and slide window up
and down by hand.
An alternate method is to shake the glass in the
door, with the glass positioned between the up and
down stop positions. Check that the glass can be
moved slightly from side to side, front to rear, and up
and down. Then check that window is not boundtight in the tracks. If window is free, proceed with di-
agnosis that follows. If window is not free, refer to
Group 23 - Body Components for service procedures.
CIRCUIT BREAKER
Locate correct circuit breaker in fuseblock module.
Pull out slightly, but be sure that circuit breaker ter-
minals still contact terminals in fuseblock module.
Turn ignition switch to ON position. Connect ground
wire of voltmeter to a good ground. With probe of
voltmeter positive lead, check both terminals of cir-
cuit breaker for battery voltage. If only one terminal

Power outside rear view mirrors are an available
option on XJ (Cherokee) models. Following are gen-
eral descriptions of the major components in the
power mirror system. Refer to Group 8W - Wiring Di-
agrams for complete circuit descriptions and dia-
grams.
POWER MIRROR
The power mirrors are connected to battery feed at
all times. Each mirror head contains two electric mo-
tors, two drive mechanisms and the mirror glass.
One motor and drive controls mirror up-and-down
movement, and the other controls right-and-left
movement.
The mirror glass is the only serviced replacement
part for the power mirror assembly. If any other com-ponent of the mirror unit is faulty or damaged, the
entire assembly must be replaced.
POWER MIRROR SWITCH
Both the right and left mirror are controlled by a
multi-function switch located on the front of the cen-
ter console storage compartment, directly below the
armrest. The selector switch is moved right (right
mirror control), left (left mirror control), or center to
turn power mirrors off. Then one of four directional
control buttons is depressed to control movement of
the selected mirror up, down, right, or left. The
power mirror switch is serviced only as a complete
unit.

(5) Check for continuity between black wire in
switch harness connector and a good ground. There
should be continuity. If OK, go to next step. If not
OK, repair circuit to ground.
(6) Check switch continuity as shown in the Mirror
Switch Continuity charts. If OK, go to next step. If
not OK, replace switch.(7) See Power Mirror Switch illustration. Connect
a jumper wire from mirror switch connector cavity
for pin E to cavity for pin F. Now connect a second
jumper from connector cavity for pin G to each of the
following pin cavities: A, B, C, then D. In each case,
the selected mirror head should move. If OK, replace
switch. If not OK, go to next step.
(8) Remove door trim panel and unplug power mir-
ror connector inside door. Connect one jumper wire to
a good ground and a second jumper wire to a battery
feed. Connect other ends of jumpers to the mirror
side of connector in door (refer to Group 8W - Wiring
Diagrams for connector cavity identification). Mirror
head should move in each of the four directions. If
OK, repair wiring between mirror switch and door
connectors. If not OK, replace mirror.

GENERAL INFORMATION.................. 1SERVICE PROCEDURES................... 4
GENERAL INFORMATION
This group covers the buzzer warning system,
which is standard equipment on XJ (Cherokee)/YJ
(Wrangler) models. The system provides an audible
warning to the driver when it monitors the following
conditions:
²key is in ignition switch with the driver's door
open
²head or park lamps are on with driver's door open
(XJ only)
²driver's seat belt is not buckled with ignition
switch in ON position.
Following are general descriptions of the major
components in the buzzer warning system. Refer to
Group 8W - Wiring Diagrams for complete circuit de-
scriptions and diagrams.
BUZZER MODULE
The buzzer module is located in the fuseblock mod-
ule under the left end of the instrument panel. It re-
ceives battery voltage at all times from (fuse 15 - XJ,
fuse 3 - YJ) the fuseblock module. It also receives a
second battery feed (fuse 17 - XJ, fuse 9 - YJ) when
the ignition switch is in the ON or START position.
Other inputs to the module include the driver's door
jamb switch, the driver's seat belt switch, the ignition
key-in switch, and the headlamp switch (XJ only). The
only output of the module is a timed 4 to 8 second feed
to the seat belt reminder lamp in the message center of
the instrument cluster. The timer function begins after
the ignition switch is turned to the ON position.
The buzzer module can not be repaired. If faulty, it
must be replaced.
DRIVER'S DOOR JAMB SWITCH
The driver's door jamb switch is mounted to the
driver's door hinge pillar. The switch closes a path to
ground for the buzzer module through the key-in
switch or headlamp switch (XJ only) when the driv-
er's door is opened, and opens when the driver's door
is closed. This switch can not be repaired. If faulty, it
must be replaced.
IGNITION KEY-IN SWITCH
XJ MODELS
The key-in switch is integral to the ignition switch,
which is mounted on the right side of the steering col-
umn. It closes a path to ground for the buzzer module
when the ignition key is inserted in the ignition lock cyl-
inder and the driver's door jamb switch is closed (door
open). The switch opens when the key is removed from
the ignition lock cylinder. This switch can not be re-
paired. If faulty, the entire ignition switch must be re-
placed. Refer to Group 8D - Ignition Systems for service
procedures.
YJ MODELS
The key-in switch is mounted within the steering col-
umn in the lock cylinder housing. It closes a path to
ground for the buzzer module when the ignition key is
inserted in the ignition lock cylinder and the driver's
door jamb switch is closed (door open). The switch opens
when the key is removed from the ignition lock cylinder.
This switch is available for service replacement. Refer
to Group 19 - Steering for service procedures.
HEADLAMP SWITCH (XJ ONLY)
The headlamp switch is located in the instrument
panel. It closes a path to ground for the buzzer module
when the park or headlamps are on and the driver's
door jamb switch is closed (door open). The switch opens
the ground path when the park and headlamps are
turned off. The headlamp switch can not be repaired. If
faulty, it must be replaced. Refer to Group 8E - Instru-
ment Panel and Gauges for service procedures.
DRIVER'S SEAT BELT SWITCH
The driver's seat belt switch is integral to the driv-
er's seat belt buckle-half assembly. The switch is nor-
mally closed, providing a ground path to the buzzer
module. When the tip-half of the seat belt is inserted
into the seat belt buckle, the switch opens the buzzer
module ground path. The seat belt switch can not be
repaired. If faulty, the entire driver's seat belt buck-
le-half must be replaced. Refer to Group 23 - Body
