Remove instrument panel lower cover and knee bolster. Disconnect ignition switch Gray 8-pin connector from main wiring harness, located left of steering column. See Fig 1 . Using an ohmmeter, check for continuity between ignition switch Gray 8-pin connector terminal No. 2 (Black wire) and terminal No. 7 (Blue/White wire). Continuity should exist with key inserted into ignition switch. Continuity should not exist when key is removed from ignition switch. If continuity is not as specified, replace hood switch.
