Repair Procedure

This procedure involves installation of an electric fuel pump, control module, and fuel reservoir.

A. Engine Compartment Harness PN 4362295

1. Disconnect the battery.

2. Remove engine side of bulkhead connector. Depress fingers on instrument panel half of bulkhead connector, and push connector back through the hole into the passenger compartment.

FIGURE 1-A:




3. Route and secure the engine overlay harness, PN 4362295, along the existing headlamp-to-dash main engine wiring harness from the ignition coil to the bulkhead connector, using the existing wiring clips and four tie wraps, PN 6015756.

Loop and tape excess wire of the overlay harness (Figure 1-A).

FIGURE 1-B:




4. Install the bare eyelet terminal of the overlay harness to the negative terminal of the ignition coil as shown in Figure 1-B.

FIGURE 1-C - ENGINE COMPARTMENT WIRING:




5. Coat the bare blade terminal of the engine overlay harness PN 4362295 liberally with Mopar multi-purpose grease PN 4318063 and snap into cavity #11 of the engine side of the bulkhead connector (Figure 1-C).

INSTRUMENT PANEL WIRING:




2. Disconnect the arced grey 7-way ignition switch connectors and remove the orange wire from the instrument panel side (Figure 2-B).

Install the orange wire just removed, into the natural colored 1-way connector supplied with the instrument panel overlay harness, PN 4362284.

Install the bare terminal (orange wire) from the instrument panel overlay harness into the previously vacated cavity in the ignition switch connector. Reconnect the natural colored one way connectors supplied with the instrument panel overlay harness, and reconnect the ignition switch connectors (Figures 2-B and 2-C).

INSTRUMENT PANEL WIRING:




3. Replace the 3-amp fuse located in cavity #11 of the fuse block with the 10-amp fuse supplied in kit (Figure 2-D).

INSTRUMENT PANEL WIRING:




4. Route the instrument panel overlay harness along the existing instrument panel ignition switch wiring from the bulkhead connector and behind the fuse block to the existing red mold connector and instrument panel ground terminal (Figure 2-C).

Secure the instrument panel overlay harness using the existing wiring clip that retains the ignition switch wiring and one tie wrap, PN 6015756 (Figure 2-C).

5. Install the female blade terminal (white with black tracer wire) from the instrument panel overlay harness onto an instrument panel ground terminal located to the right of the steering column (Figure 2-C).

6. Insert the bare terminal (light blue wire) from the instrument panel overlay harness into the existing 3-way red molded connector, from the main instrument panel wiring harness, (Located near radio, Figure 2-C).

INSTRUMENT PANEL WIRING:




7. Connect the control (auto shut down) module, PN 5226640, to the supplied natural colored 8-way connector from the instrument panel overlay harness, PN 4362284. Secure the module onto the main instrument panel wiring harness with a tie wrap, PN 6015756, close to the bulkhead connector (Figure 2-E).
C. In-Tank Fuel Pump Installation

1. Remove the fuel tank gauge unit from the fuel tank per the service manual procedure and discard. Install the new seal and gauge/pump unit from the applicable kit. Use extreme caution to protect the float and gauge assembly during installation into the fuel tank.

2. With the fuel tank partially raised, connect the fuel tank vent hose, fuel return, and fuel supply hoses. Secure the hoses with the hose clamps provided.
3. Install existing gauge/pump wiring:

^ Black mold connector (gauge circuit) light blue with tracer wire to black stud of gauge/pump assembly.

^ Tape back existing yellow mold connector white wire (this wire will no longer be used).

^ Install red mold connector (pump feed circuit) dark green wire of new body wiring overlay harness, PN 4362286, onto the red stud of gauge/pump assembly.

^ Install yellow mold blade connector of body overlay harness, PN 4362286, to ground blade on gauge/pump assembly.

CAUTION: INCORRECT WIRING CONNECTIONS WILL CAUSE THE FUEL LEVEL GAUGE UNIT AND/OR CLUSTER GAUGE TO FAIL AND THE ELECTRIC PUMP TO BE INOPERATIVE.

^ Set aside the rest of harness, PN 4362286, to assure wiring is not pinched when reinstalling fuel tank.

4. Reinstall fuel tank to original position.

D. Body Wiring Harness PN 4362286

1. Route the single wire with eyelet terminal of body wiring harness, PN 4362286, to the rear of the vehicle through the existing hole in the rail (Figures 3-A and 3-B). Clip the wiring into the existing ring clips. Remove the ground screw and install both eyelet (ground) terminals into the screw and torque to 95 inch pounds. Take up excess ground wire and tie wrap as shown in Figure 3-A.

2. Route the dark green wire of harness, PN 4362286 (in-loom), to the front of the vehicle. Use the existing ring clips on the chassis rail. Tie wrap the harness as shown in Figure 3-B.

NOTE: THE NUMBER OF TIE WRAPS WILL VARY WITH WHEEL BASE LENGTH.

FIGURE 3-C:




3. At the engine compartment, route harness, PN 4362286, through existing clips for main body harness to the bulkhead.

NOTE: DUE TO VARYING WHEEL BASE LENGTHS, EXCESS WIRING MAY EXIST. WRAP EXCESS WIRING BETWEEN THE TWO CLIPS REFERENCE IN FIGURE 3-C AND TIE WRAP IN TWO (2) PLACES.

4. Plug the bare terminal of body wiring harness, PN 4362286, into cavity #12 of the engine side of the bulkhead connector.

FIGURE 6 - ELECTRIC FUEL PUMP WIRING DIAGRAM:




5. Reinstall instrument panel half of bulkhead connector, making sure it snaps into place. Reinstall engine compartment half of bulkhead connector and torque bolt to 40 inch pounds.
