Relay Test

  1. Position gear selector in Park (A/T) or Neutral (M/T). Set parking brake and block wheels. DO NOT remove relay connector. Using a 12-volt test light, check for battery voltage between starter relay terminal No. 30 and ground. See Figure . If battery voltage does not exist, repair wiring. If battery voltage exists, go to next step.
  2. Using test light, check for battery voltage at relay terminal No. 86 while an assistant holds ignition switch in START position. If battery voltage does not exist, repair wiring between ignition switch and starter relay. If battery voltage exists, go to next step.
  3. Connect jumper wire between relay terminals No. 87 and 86. Connect a second jumper wire between relay terminal No. 85 and chassis ground. If engine cranks, starter relay is good. Repair poor ground connection between relay housing and mounting surface. On A/T models, also inspect neutral safety switch for malfunction and transmission linkage for improper adjustment. If engine does not crank, replace starter relay.
