GENERAL INFORMATION
GENERAL INFORMATION
Each vehicle is equipped with varies lamp assem-
blies. A good ground is necessary for proper 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 sockets 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.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
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 surfaces,
reduced bulb life can result.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2
Do not use bulbs with higher candle power than
indicated in the Bulb Application Table at the end of
this group. Damage to lamp can result.
Do not use fuses, circuit breakers or relays hav-
ing greater amperage value than indicated on the
fuse panel or in the Owners Manual.
When it necessary to remove components to service
another, it should not be necessary to apply excessive
force or bend a component to remove it. Before dam-
aging a trim component, verify hidden fasteners or
captured edges are not holding the component in
place.
HEADLAMP LEVELING MOTOR
This vehicle is equipped with a remote headlamp
leveling system. This system allows the driver to
adjust the vertical headlamp aim from the interior of
the vehicle to compensate for passenger or cargo
load. A headlamp leveling switch is located in the
instrument panel and controls the headlamp leveling
motor found on the back of the head lamp assembly.
