Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Power Main Relay
Remove power main relay from relay block No. 7 on right side of steering column. Using an ohmmeter, check continuity between terminals No. 1 and 3. Continuity should exist. See Fig 1. Apply battery voltage to terminal No. 1 and ground terminal No. 3. Continuity should exist at terminals No. 2 and 4. If relay does not test as described, replace power main relay.
