  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 electrical connector at the K84 Keyless Entry Control Module.
  2. Connect a 3 A fused jumper between the control circuit terminal 10 and B+.
  3. Verify a test lamp illuminates between Fuse F20DA and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate and the 3 A fuse is OK 
    1. Ignition OFF, remove the fused jumper wire, disconnect the electrical connector at the X51A Fuse Block - Instrument Panel.
    2. Test for less than 10 Ω between the ground circuit terminal 23AA and ground.
      • If 10 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance on the circuit or ground connection
      • Go to next step: If less than 10 Ω
    3. Test for less than 2 Ω in the control circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • Go to next step: If less than 2 Ω.
    4. Replace the X51A Fuse Block - Instrument Panel.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate and the 3 A fuse is open 
    1. Ignition OFF, remove the fused jumper wire, disconnect the electrical connector at the X51A Fuse Block - Instrument Panel.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the control circuit terminal 10 at the K84 Keyless Entry Control Module and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • Go to next step: If infinite resistance
    3. Replace the X51A Fuse Block - Instrument Panel.
    • Go to next step: If the test lamp illuminates 
  4. Ignition OFF, remove the fused jumper wire
  5. Ignition ON, verify the test lamp does not illuminate between Fuse F20DA and ground
    • If the test lamp illuminates 
    1. Disconnect the electrical connector at the X51A Fuse Block - Instrument Panel.
    2. Test for less than 1 V between control circuit terminal 10 at the K84 Keyless Entry Control Module and ground.
      • If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
      • Go to next step: If less than 1 V.
    3. replace the X51A Fuse Block - Instrument Panel.
    • Go to next step: If the test lamp does not illuminate 
  6. Replace the K84 Keyless Entry Control Module.

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
