Accessory Relay

  1. Remove accessory relay from central junction box. Central junction box is located behind left side of instrument panel. Check accessory relay continuity. Continuity should exist between accessory relay terminals No. 1 and 2, and between terminals No. 3 and 4. See Fig 1 . Continuity should not exist between accessory relay terminals No. 3 and 5. If continuity is as specified, go to next step. If continuity is not as specified, replace accessory relay.
  2. Using a jumper wire, apply battery voltage to accessory relay terminal No. 1. Using a second jumper wire, ground accessory relay terminal No. 2. Continuity should now exist between accessory relay terminals No. 3 and 5. If continuity is not as specified, replace accessory relay. If continuity is as specified, accessory relay is okay at this time.
