Circuit/System Description
Voltage is supplied to the instrument panel cluster (IPC) through the battery voltage circuit and the RUN/CRANK relay voltage circuit. The IPC will operate when the RUN/CRANK relay voltage circuit is commanded on in the RUN/START position.

Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the IPC.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the RUN/CRANK relay voltage circuit terminal 19 and a ground.
- Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the RUN/CRANK relay voltage circuit terminal 19 and the IPC ground circuit terminal 7.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the IPC.
| ⇒ | If the test lamp does not illuminate, repair the RUN/CRANK voltage circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. |
| ⇒ | If the test lamp does not illuminate, repair the IPC ground circuit for an open/high resistance. |
Repair Instructions
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
