Chrysler Town & Country/Voyager, Dodge Caravan, Plymouth Voyager. Manual — part 50
lbs.). Be sure to install the upper to lower steering
coupler retaining bolt retention pin (Fig. 6).
(5) Install the buttons which retain the multi func-
tion switch wiring harness to the steering column.
Connect the multi-function switch wiring harness con-
nector to the multi-function switch. Torque the connec-
tor retaining bolt to 2 N
Im (17 in. lbs) using a 7mm
socket (Fig. 8).
(6) Install the upper fixed shroud onto the steering
column assembly.
(7) Be sure both breakaway capsules are fully seated
in the slots of the steering column upper support
bracket. Torque the 2 upper steering column assembly
to support bracket nuts to 12 N
Im (105 in. lbs.). Torque
the 2 lower steering column assembly to mounting
bracket nuts to 12 N
Im (105 in. lbs.).
(8) Complete the wiring harness connections to the
remaining steering column switches (Fig. 9). Install
the lower fixed shroud onto the steering column.
(9) Route the PRNDL actuator assembly under left
steering column wing and along left side of steering
column. Insert the flange of the PRNDL actuator
steering column insert into the steering column jacket
(Fig. 7). Squeeze the legs of the steering column insert
together and install tabs under steering column jacket.
Engage lock bar to secure the actuator assembly into
the steering column jacket (Fig. 7).
(10) Hook the PRNDL actuator cable eyelet to the
steering column actuator arm (Fig. 7). Move the shift
lever to neutral, check pointer location, should indicate
neutral. If pointer does not indicate neutral adjust
actuator with tool (Fig. 14) to center pointer on N
(Neutral) and then check pointer location in other
gears.
(11) Install the lock housing shrouds. The shroud
fasteners are Torx-head screws. Install the tilt lever
(if equipped).
(12) Install the lower dash panel cover.
(13) For steering wheel installation with speed con-
trol refer to Group 8 Electrical. For non-speed control,
place the steering wheel on the steering column shaft
with the master splines aligned. Install the steering
wheel to column shaft retaining nut. Tighten retaining
nut to 61 N
Im (45 ft. lbs.) torque. Do not force the
steering wheel onto the column shaft by driving
it on with a heavy object. Pull steering wheel
down onto column shaft using ONLY the steering
wheel retaining nut.
(14) For vehicles equipped with a column shift. Pass
the transmission shift cable through its mounting
bracket on the steering column assembly. Connect the
transmission shift cable to the shift lever on the
steering column assembly. Install the shift cable to
mounting bracket retaining clip (Fig. 2). The grom-
met must be installed in the shift lever (Fig. 11)
before the cable is inserted into the grommet. Use
Mopar
t Multipurpose Lubricant, or an equivalent
product, to aid installation of shift link rod into grom-
met.
(15) Re-adjust
the
transmission
shift
linkage.
Whenever the steering column is loosened or
removed, the shift linkage MUST be adjusted and
tested. Refer to Group 21 Transmission for the shift
linkage adjustment procedure.
(16) Connect the battery ground (negative) cable.
Test the operation of the lights and horns. If applicable,
reset the clock and radio.
STEERING COLUMN COMPONENT SERVICE
The Acustar tilt and standard steering columns (Fig.
1) have been designed to be serviced as an assembly;
less wiring, switches, shrouds, steering wheel, etc. Also
most steering column components can be serviced
without removing the steering column from the ve-
hicle. For additional information on electrical compo-
nents refer to Group 8H Electrical.
GEAR SHIFT LEVER
The gear shift lever (if equipped) is a serviceable
component of the Acustar steering column assembly.

REMOVE
(1) Support the steering column assembly as shown
in (Fig. 1) using a suitable size socket.
(2) Using a drift of the appropriate size drive the roll
pin out of the steering column and gear shift lever (Fig.
1). Remove the gear shift lever from the steering
column assembly.
INSTALL
(1) Support the steering column assembly as shown
in (Fig. 1) using a suitable size socket.
(2) Install the gear shift lever into the steering
column assembly. Align the roll pin holes in the gear
shift lever and the steering column assembly.
(3) Carefully Install the roll pin into the steering
column assembly and through the shift lever. If the roll
pin binds check the alignment on the holes. Be sure roll
pin is fully installed into the steering column assembly.
IGNITION SWITCH SERVICE
TEST AND REPAIR
If the ignition switch effort seems to be excessive due
to binding. Follow the procedure outlined below to
determine the cause.
When service procedures are performed on the
Acustar steering column there are certain areas of the
column that can not be tampered with. If a problem
related to these areas of the steering column are
detected. The entire steering column (less the remov-
able components) should be replaced see (Fig. 2 and 3).
(1) Remove the ignition switch from the steering
column. Refer to Group 8H Electrical.
(2) Using a key cylinder, check the turning effort of
the switch.
• If the ignition switch binds look for the following
conditions.
(1) Look for rough areas or flash in the casting and if
found remove with a file (Fig. 3).
(2) Remove the link and slider.
(3) Check the link to see if it has been bent and if so
replace with a new part.
Put the slider in its slot in the sleeve and verify a
loose fit over the length of the slot. If the slider binds in
the slot at any point lightly file the slider until clear-
ance is achieved.
• If no binding is found.
Lightly file the ramp on the ignition switch, (The
ramp fits into the casting) until binding no longer
occurs.
