WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Saturn Outlook, 2008 GMC Acadia, and 2008 Buick Enclave. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the A/C Relay.
- Test for 137 ohms across the relay coil terminals.
- If the resistance is not close to the specified range, replace the relay.
- Test for infinite resistance between switch side of the relay
- If less than infinite resistance, replace the relay
- Install a 20-amp fused jumper wire between the relay coil side and 12 volts. Install a jumper wire between relay the coil side and ground. Measure for less than 2 ohms between the relay switch side.
- If greater than 2 ohms, replace the relay.
