GENERAL INFORMATION
GENERAL INFORMATION
Each vehicle is equipped with various 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 socket 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 surface, reduced
bulb life will result.

indicated in the Bulb Application table at the end of
this group. Damage to lamp can result.

ing greater amperage value than indicated on the

When it is necessary to remove components to ser-
vice another, it should not be necessary to apply
excessive force or bend a component to remove it.
Before damaging a trim component, verify hidden
fasteners or captured edges are not holding the com-
ponent in place.
DAYTIME RUNNING LAMP MODULE
PL vehicles built for use in Canada are equipped
with a Daytime Running Lamp (DRL) system. The
DRL system operates the headlamps at 50% illumi-
nation with the headlamp switch OFF, park brake
released and the ignition ON. The DRL system is
controlled by the Daytime Running Lamp Module.
The DRL module overrides the headlamp switch
when the headlamps are turned OFF. The headlamps
operate normally when the headlamps are turned
ON.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES
When a vehicle experiences problems with the
headlamp system, verify the condition of the battery
connections, charging system, headlamp bulbs, wire
connectors, relay, high beam dimmer switch and
headlamp switch. Refer to Group 8W, Wiring Dia-
grams for component locations and circuit informa-
tion.
