    • F and K
    • K and J
    • If less than infinite resistance, replace the PTO relay.
  4. Install a 15-amp fused jumper wire between relay terminal J and 12 volts. Install a jumper wire between relay terminal H and ground. Test for less than 2.0 ohms of resistance between the relay switch terminals.
