- Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 electrical connector at the K84 Keyless Entry Control Module.
- Connect a 3 A fused jumper between the control circuit terminal 10 and B+.
- Verify a test lamp illuminates between Fuse F20DA and ground.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate and the 3 A fuse is OKÂ
- Ignition OFF, remove the fused jumper wire, disconnect the electrical connector at the X51A Fuse Block - Instrument Panel.
- 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
- 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.
- Replace the X51A Fuse Block - Instrument Panel.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate and the 3 A fuse is openÂ
- Ignition OFF, remove the fused jumper wire, disconnect the electrical connector at the X51A Fuse Block - Instrument Panel.
- 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
- Replace the X51A Fuse Block - Instrument Panel.
- Go to next step: If the test lamp illuminatesÂ
- Ignition OFF, remove the fused jumper wire
- Ignition ON, verify the test lamp does not illuminate between Fuse F20DA and ground
- If the test lamp illuminatesÂ
- Disconnect the electrical connector at the X51A Fuse Block - Instrument Panel.
- 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.
- replace the X51A Fuse Block - Instrument Panel.
- Go to next step: If the test lamp does not illuminateÂ
- 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.
