CHASSIS ELECTRICAL 6-7
When working on any electrical component on the
vehicle, it is always a good idea to disconnect the
negative (-) battery cable. This will prevent potential
damage to many sensitive electrical components
such as the Powertrain Control Module (PCM), radio,
alternator, etc.
*Any time you disengage the battery cables,
it is recommended that you disconnect the negative (-) battery cable first. This will pre-
vent your accidentally grounding the positive
(+) terminal to the body of the vehicle when
disconnecting it, thereby preventing damage
to the above mentioned components.
Before you disconnect the cable(s), first turn the
ignition to the OFF position. This will prevent a draw
on the battery which could cause arcing (electricity
trying to ground itself to the body of a vehicle, just
like a spark plug jumping the gap) and, of course, damaging some components such as the alternator
diodes.
When the battery cable(s) are reconnected (nega-
tive cable last), be sure to check that your lights,
windshield wipers and other electrically operated
safety components are all working correctly. If your
vehicle contains an Electronically Tuned Radio (ETR),
don’t forget to also reset your radio stations. Ditto for
the clock.

About once a year, when the headllgftts are
replaced or any time front end work is per-
formed on your vehicle, the headlight should
be accurately aimed by a reputable repair
shop uslng the proper equipment. Headlights
not properly aimed can make it virtually im-
possible to see ar Id may blind other drivers
ibly causing an accident.
Note that the’following procedure is a tempo-
rary fix, until you can take your vehicle to a
repair shop for a proper adjustment.
Headlight adjustment may be temporarily made
using a wall, as described below, or on the rear of
another vehicle. When adjusted, the lights should not For most of the vehicles covered by this manual,
horizontal and vertical aiming of eachsealed beam
unit is provided by two adjusting screws which move
the retaining ring and adjusting plate against the ten-
sion of a coil spring. There is no adjustment for fo-
cus; this is done during headlight manufacturing.
*Because the composite headlight assem-
bly is bolted into position, no adjustment
should be necessary or possible. Some ap-
plications, however, may be bolted to an ad-
juster plate or may be retained by adjusting
screws. If so, follow this procedure when ad-
@sting the lights, BUT always have the ad-
justment checked by a reputable shop.
Before removing the headlight bulb or disturbing
the headlamp in any way, note the current settings in
order to ease headlight adjustment upon reassembly.
If the high or low beam setting of the old lamp still
works, this can be done using the wall of a garage or
a building:
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface, with the
fuel tank about r/a full and with the vehicle empty of
all extra cargo (unless normally carried). The vehicle
should be facing a wall which is no less than 6 feet
(1.8m) high and 12 feet (3.7m) wide. The front of the
vehicle should be about 25 feet from the wall.
2. If aiming is to be performed outdoors, it is ad-
visable to wait until dusk in order to properly see the
% and/or turning it counterclockwise. Make sure the
cover is installed securely or the lens will be out of
focus, or water may get into the light unit.
9. Disconnect the negative battery cable and
check the headlight operation.
