Both Retractors Inoperative Using Either Switch

  1. Check HEAD and RETRACTOR fuses in main fuse block. If fuse is faulty, replace fuse (repair circuit if shorted). If fuse is okay, disconnect retractor switch 6-pin connector. Measure voltage at terminal "C" (Red wire) of retractor switch connector. SeeFig 1 . If battery voltage is not present, repair wiring between HEAD fuse and retractor switch.
  2. If battery voltage is present, disconnect retractor motor 4-pin connector. Measure voltage at terminal "B" (Black/White wire) of retractor motor connector. SeeFigure . If battery voltage is not present, repair wiring between RETRACTOR fuse and retractor motor.
  3. If battery voltage is present, check continuity between ground and terminal "A" (Black wire) of retractor motor connector. If continuity does not exist, repair wiring between retractor motor and ground. If continuity exists, check retractor motor. See RETRACTOR MOTOR TEST. If retractor motor is okay, go to next step.
  4. Disconnect retractor switch 6-pin connector (remove switch, if necessary). With switch turned off, continuity should exist between terminals "A" and "C". SeeFigure . With switch turned on, continuity should exist between terminals "B" and "C". Continuity should also exist between terminals "E" and "F" with switch turned off or on. If continuity is not as specified, replace retractor switch. If continuity is as specified, repair wiring between retractor switch and retractor motor.
