  1. Disconnect the harness connector at the seat adjuster switch.
  2. Test for less than 1 ohm of resistance between the ground circuit terminal H and ground.
    • If greater than 1 ohm, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
  3. Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal A and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
