1. Disconnect the auxiliary heater or A/C blower motor connector C2.
2. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
3. Test the auxiliary heater or A/C blower motor supply circuit with a test lamp to the auxiliary heater or A/C blower motor ground circuit. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
4. Place the auxiliary heater or A/C blower motor switch in each speed position.

Does the test lamp illuminate and change intensity in each speed position?

Important: The auxiliary heater or A/C blower motor switch must be in the correct position for the auxiliary heater or A/C blower motor speed control circuit being tested. Failure to do this will result in a misdiagnosis.

1. Turn OFF the ignition.
2. Disconnect the auxiliary heater or A/C blower motor resistor assembly.
3. Test the LO, MED and HI auxiliary heater or A/C blower motor speed control circuits with a test lamp to a known good ground. Refer to Circuit Testing in Wiring Systems.
4. Place the auxiliary heater or A/C blower motor switch in each speed position for the auxiliary heater or A/C blower motor speed control circuit being tested.

Does the test lamp illuminate in each speed position?
