Power Locks: Service and Repair







STANDARD PROCEDURE - PNEUMATIC TUBE REPAIR

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.

NOTE: If it is necessary to access conduit to repair the tubing, be sure to re-tape the conduit after the repair.

2. Access the damaged section of tubing and remove it.

NOTE: Be careful not to kink or twist the new piece of tubing.

3. Using tubing repair kit A193-997-52, insert a piece of tubing in place of the damaged section.
4. Spray each end of the pneumatic tubing with Mopar Silicone Lubricant, p/n 04318070, and push each end of the tubing 10 mm (0.4 in.) into the rubber splice connector.
5. Connect the battery negative cable.
6. If a pneumatic tube leading to a lock actuator was repaired, using the key fob, actuate the door lock button. Verify that all locks operate correctly.
7. If a pneumatic tube leading to the rear spoiler was repaired, turn the key to the "RUN position and raise and lower the rear spoiler. Verify the rear spoiler operates correctly.
