- Ignition OFF, disconnect the appropriate relay.
- Test for 60-200 Ω between terminals 85 and 86.
- If less than 60 or greater than 200
Replace the relay.
- If between 60-200 Ω
- If less than 60 or greater than 200
- Test for infinite resistance between the terminals listed below:
- 30 and 86
- 30 and 87
- 30 and 85
- 85 and 87
- If less than infinite resistance
Replace the relay.
- If infinite resistance
- Test for less than 5 Ω between terminals 30 and 87A.
- If 5 Ω or greater
Replace the relay.
- If less than 5 Ω
- If 5 Ω or greater
- Install a 10 A fused jumper wire between relay terminal 85 and 12 V. Install a jumper wire between relay terminal 86 and ground.
- Test for less than 5 Ω between terminals 30 and 87.
- If 5 Ω or greater
Replace the relay.
- If less than 5 Ω
- If 5 Ω or greater
- All OK
