GENERAL INFORMATION

Each vehicle is equipped with lamps used for illumi-

nating and indicating purposes. A circuit must have a
good ground to be complete. Circuit ground occurs
when the lamp socket makes contact with the metal
body. On vehicles with plastic lamps, a wire between
the socket and the body makes the grounds.

When changing lamp bulbs, check the socket for

corrosion. If corrosion is present, clean contacts with a
wire brush and coat the inside of the socket with
Mopar

t Multi-purpose Grease or equivalent.

CAUTION: Do not touch the glass of halogen bulbs
with fingers or any possibly oily surface, reduced
bulb life will result.

BODY IDENTIFICATION

Throughout this Group, references are made to the

vehicle family or body code. To decode the vehicle
identification plates, refer to the Introduction Section
at the front of this manual.

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES

Begin electrical system failure diagnosis by testing

all related fuses and circuit breakers in the fuse block
and engine compartment.

When a vehicle experiences problems with the head-

lamp system, verify the condition of the battery con-
nections, charging system, headlamp bulbs, wire con-
nectors, relay, high beam dimmer switch and headlamp
switch. Refer to Wiring Diagrams manual for compo-
nent locations and circuit information.

SYMPTOM

Headlamps are dim when engine is idling of

with ignition turned OFF. Canada cars must
have lamps ON.

ACTION
• Clean battery terminal clamps and posts. Refer to
Group

8B,

Battery/Starter/Generator

Service

for

proper procedures.
• Test charging system output. Refer to Group 8A,
Battery/Starting/Charging Systems Diagnostics for
proper testing procedures.
• Test for high resistance in headlamp circuits.

• Defective headlamp bulb.

SYMPTOM

Bulbs burn out frequently.

ACTION
• Test charging system output. Refer to Group 8A,
Battery/Starting/Charging Systems Diagnostics for
proper testing procedures.
• Check for loose or corroded connector terminals or
splices in headlamp circuits. Refer to Wiring Diagrams
manual for component and splice locations.

SYMPTOM

Headlamps are dim with engine running above

idle. Canada cars must have lamps ON.

ACTION
• Test charging system output. Refer to Group 8A,
Battery/Starting/Charging Systems Diagnostics for
proper testing procedures.
• Test for high resistance in headlamp circuits.

• Defective headlamp bulb.

SYMPTOM

Headlamps flash randomly.

ACTION
• Test for poor circuit ground.

• Test for high resistance in headlamp circuits.
