Power Transistor

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1994 Plymouth Laser and 1994 Eagle Talon. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Connect analog ohmmeter leads between power transistor terminals No. 5 and 8. See Fig 1 . Ensure ohmmeter negative lead is connected to terminal No. 8. Ohmmeter should indicate no continuity.
Using a 1.5-volt dry cell battery, connect positive battery lead to power transistor terminal No. 6 and negative lead to terminal No. 5. When battery is connected, ohmmeter should indicate continuity. Replace power transistor if it does not test as described.
