  1. Disconnect heater control panel connector A (14P).
  1. Check for continuity between the No. 7 and No. 8 terminals of heater control panel connector A (14P) and body ground individually.

HEATER CONTROL PANEL CONNECTOR A (14P)

Wire side of female terminals

Is there continuity?

YES - Repair any short to body ground in the wire(s) between the heater control panel and the power transistor.

NO - Go to step 14.

  1. Check for continuity between the following terminals of heater control panel connector A (14P) and the power transistor 4P connector.
    14P: 4P:
    No. 7 No. 1
    No. 8 No. 3

HEATER CONTROL PANEL CONNECTOR A (14P)

Wire side of female terminals

POWER TRANSISTOR 4P CONNECTOR

Wire side of female terminals

Is there continuity?

YES - Go to step 15.

NO - Repair any open in the wire(s) between the heater control panel and the power transistor.

  1. Reconnect the heater control panel connector A (14P).
  1. Test the power transistor (see page 21-50).

Is the power transistor OK?

YES - Check for loose wires or poor connections at heater control panel connector A (14P) and at the power transistor 4P connector. If the connections are good, substitute a known-good heater control panel and recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away, replace the original heater control panel.

NO - Replace the power transistor.

  1. Disconnect the jumper wire.
  2. Disconnect the blower motor 2P connector.
  3. Measure the voltage between the No. 1 terminal of the blower motor 2P connector and body ground.

BLOWER MOTOR 2P CONNECTOR

Wire side of female terminals

Is there battery voltage?

YES - Replace the blower motor.

NO - Go to step 20.

  1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
  2. Remove the blower motor relay from the under-hood fuse/relay box and test it (see page 22-80).

Is the relay OK?

YES - Go to step 22.

NO - Replace the blower motor relay.
