Preliminary Inspection

Verify customer complaint by operating suspected system. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical and electrical damage. Inspect for blown fuses and damaged relays. For fuse and/or relay identification, refer to illustration. See Figure. Inspect for loose or corroded connections, damaged wiring harnesses and/or switches. Check for a broken or partially broken wire inside insulation, which could cause system malfunction but prove good in a continuity/voltage check with system disconnected. Ensure any aftermarket electronic equipment is properly installed.

Also see TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE  table. If fault is found, repair as necessary. If no fault is found, diagnose by symptom. See SYMPTOM INDEX  table under SYSTEM TESTS.
