Heater Main Relay Circuit

  1. Turn ignition on. Inspect HEATER fuse, in fuse block, at driver's side kick panel. If fuse is okay, go next step. If fuse is blown, correct cause and replace fuse.
  2. Remove A/C control assembly, leaving harness connectors connected. Turn ignition off. Check for voltage between A/C control assembly connector terminal A14-10 (Blue/White wire) and ground. See Figure. If battery voltage does not exist, go to next step. If battery voltage exists, repair short to voltage in Blue/White wire between connector and heater main relay.
  3. Turn ignition on. Check for voltage between A/C control assembly connector terminal A14-10 (Blue/White wire) and ground. If battery voltage does not exist, go to next step. If battery voltage exists, circuit is okay.
  4. Remove heater main relay, located behind glove box, on right side. Test for continuity between terminals No. 1 and 4. See Fig 1. Continuity should not exist. Test for continuity between terminals No. 2 and 4. Continuity should exist. Measure resistance between terminals No. 3 and 5. Resistance should be 62.5-90.9 ohms.
  5. Using a fused jumper wire, connect battery voltage to terminal No. 3, and connect terminal No. 5 to ground. Test for continuity between terminals No. 1 and 2. Continuity should exist. Test for continuity between terminals No. 2 and 4. Continuity should not exist. Replace relay if it does not operate as specified. If relay is okay, repair wiring between A/C control assembly connector and battery.
