- If power accessory circuit breaker opens whenever power seat switch is operated, check circuits for a short to ground. Remove and inspect fuses. Check for good, clean ground connections. Check for proper installation of aftermarket electronic equipment.
- Check for broken or partially broken wire inside of insulation, which could cause system malfunction but prove good in a continuity/voltage check with system disconnected. These circuits may be intermittent or resistive when loaded. Check by monitoring for voltage drop with system under load. If problem exists, repair as necessary. If problem does not exist, perform self-diagnostics. See SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM .
