  1. Disconnect the BCM connector C1.
  2. Disconnect the headlamp switch electrical connector.
  3. Use a DMM in order to measure the resistance between the following components:
  4. • The BCM harness connector C1 terminal C16
    • Ground
  5. Disconnect the following door lock switches one at a time, until the DMM reads infinite resistance:
  6. • The left front
    • The right front
    • The left rear
    • The right rear
    • If the DMM show infinite when disconnecting one of the door lock switches, then replace that door lock switch.
    • If the DMM does not shows infinite after all door lock switches are disconnected, then repair a short to ground in circuit 727.
