Ignition Control: Removal & Installation Chrysler Pacifica CS

INSTALLATION

1. Install the bolt to capacitor. see scheme 23 Make sure that the ground strap is in place.
2. Tighten bolt.
3. Install the electrical connector to capacitor.
4. Connect the negative battery cable.

REMOVAL

Failure to route the cables properly could cause the radio to reproduce ignition noise, cross ignition of the spark plugs or short circuit the cables to ground.

Remove spark plug cable from coil first.

Always remove the spark plug cable by grasping the top of the spark plug insulator, turning the boot 1/2 turn and pulling straight up in a steady motion.

Failure to route the cables properly could cause the radio to reproduce ignition noise, cross ignition of the spark plugs or short circuit the cables to ground. Install spark plug insulators over spark plugs. Ensure the top of the spark plug insulator covers the upper end of the spark plug tube, then connect the other end to coil pack.

The ignition switch attaches to the lock cylinder housing on the end opposite the lock cylinder. For ignition switch terminal and circuit identification, refer to SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS .
