  3. Carefully pull on the roof console (B) to disengage the two clips (C) from the roof.
  4. Disconnect the 20P connector (D) from the roof console.
  5. Inspect the connector and socket terminals to be sure they are all making good contact.
    • If the terminals are bent, loose, or corroded, repair them as necessary, and recheck the system.
    • If the terminals look OK, go to step 6.
  6. With the connector still disconnected, do the following input tests:
    • If any test indicates a problem, find and correct the cause, then recheck the system.
    • If all the input tests prove OK, go to step 7.
    Cavity Wire Test condition Test: Desired result Possible cause if desired result is not obtained
    5 LT GRN Disconnect under-dash fuse/relay box connector X (39P) Check for continuity between terminal No. 5 and under-dash fuse/relay box connector X (39P) terminal No. 9: There should be continuity. An open or high resistance in the wire
    6 ORN Disconnect Driver's under-dash fuse/relay box connector Q(14P) Check for continuity between terminal No. 6 and Driver's under-dash fuse/relay box connector Q (14P) terminal No. 11: There should be continuity. An open or high resistance in the wire
