RAM 1500 Van V6-239 3.9L Magnum (1995)
Electrostatic Discharge Symbol
All Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) sensitive components are solid state and a symbol is used to indicate this. When handling any component with this
symbol, comply with the following procedures to reduce the possibility of electrostatic charge build-up on the body and inadvertent discharge into the
component. If it is not known whether the part is ESD sensitive, assume that it is.
1. Always touch a known good ground before handling the part. This should be repeated while handling the part, especially after sliding across a seat,
sitting down from a standing position, or walking a distance.
2. Avoid touching electrical terminals of the part, unless instructed to do so by a written procedure.
3. When using a voltmeter, be sure to connect the ground lead first.
4. Do not remove the part from its protective packing until it is time to install the part.
5. Before removing the part from its package, ground the package to a known good ground on the vehicle.
Fuses
CAUTION: When replacing a blown fuse, it is important to replace it with a fuse having the correct amperage rating. The use of a fuse with a rating
other than that indicated may result in an electrical overload. If a properly rated fuse continues to blow, it indicates a problem that should be corrected.
Notes, Cautions and Warnings
Additional important information is presented in three ways: Notes, Cautions, and Warnings.
NOTES are used to help describe how switches or components operate to complete a particular circuit. They are also used to indicate different
