1. Disconnsct the 3P connector from the oower tran-stsror.
2, Carefully release the lock tab on the No. 2 terminal inthe 3P connector, then remove the terminal and insu-late it from body glound.
Connect a 1.2 - 3.4 W bulb between the No. 1 andthe No. 2 cavity on the 3P connector.
Reconnect the 3P connector to the power translstor.
Turn the ignition switch ON fll), and check that theblower motor runs.

Check the diode:1. Disconnect the iumPer wire
2. Remove the A/C diode from
the under hood fuse/relaY box
3. Check for current flow in both
directions between the A and
B terminals.
ls there current flow in onlY
one direction?
Chock for an open in the wire:
1. Turn the ignition switch ON(ll).
2. Measure the voltage between
the No. 2 terminal of the AJC
