Technical Support / Re: Hydraulic pump

« Last post by David T. Richelderfer on November 21, 2023, 04:44:06 PM »

Most of the threads regarding failed power steering hydraulic pumps that I have read about here on the Forum seem to have been spline-driven with the pump housing bolted onto the engine over the spline-driven PTO.

Thanks Jerry. Does this mean it’s belt or gear driven?

I looked in the 2000 Marquis diagrams as the chassis should be the same. Since jumpering the relay starts the engine, seems that a bad relay is most obvious cause and simplest fix or Jason could also apply 12v to the coil terminal on the relay. If it starts, the trigger signal is missing, if no start, bad relay. Hopefully he'll let us know of solution.

We don't have wiring diagrams for the 2000 patriot and the 2002 doesn't show the ECM relay or wiring.
How ever in the 1996 Patriot wiri g diagrams on page 18 the ECM relay and wiring are shown.
On my 1997 Patriot that relay is mounted in the upper left rear corner of the battery bay attached to the frame work there.
As I stated earlier the trigger signal for that relay is routed through the service bay front / rear selector switch.
And that switch is exposed on the back of the service panel to the elements causing problems with the switch and or wiring connections.
With that said the 2000 year model may be different but I doubt it.

Hope this helps

Would anyone know how the hydraulic pump is driven on my 2002 PT that powers the power steering and radiator fan?  Is the pump belt driven or direct gear driven?

Jason,
Where is the ECM relay located? I'm not seeing in the wiring diagrams.

Technical Support / Drop down TV

« Last post by George Frudakis on November 19, 2023, 07:07:07 PM »

 my drop-down TV motor hum and then turn off than an hour letter it hums again. The TV will not come down after I press the switch to do so. But the motor hums.  Does anyone know how to manually unlatch the unit to allow it to come down? Then reattach it to work as it should. This will allow me room to work on the problem. I have the cover off and can see the lift and electrical power along with the latch. The motor stay hot all the time. Any direct on how to repair this would greatly be apricated.

The first things to check are the ignition solenoid in the front electrical bay make sure that you have power on the ignition side buss bar with the key in the run position you could have a faulty ignition solenoid.
Before replacing that solenoid make sure there is a trigger signal come from the ignition switch to the solenoid to activate it.
There is also a circuit breaker #1 for the ignition switch on the always hot side of the electrical bay buss bars that feeds the ignition switch. And  circuit breaker #21 on the ignition buss bar which feeds the service bay front / rear selector switch and from there provides the trigger signal to the ignition relay located in the battery bay. It's not uncommon for the switch or wiring at the service bay panel to get corroded and fail.

Keep us informed on your progress
