With a Test Lamp

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2003 GMC Yukon XL, 2003 GMC Yukon, 2003 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2003 Chevrolet Suburban, and 2003 Chevrolet Avalanche. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
IMPORTANT: Only use the test lamp procedure on low impedance power and ground circuits.
  1. Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit.
  2. Disconnect the load.
  3. Connect 1 lead of the test lamp to 1 end of the circuit to be tested.
  4. Connect the other lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage.
  5. Connect the other end of the circuit to ground.
  6. If the test lamp illuminates (full intensity), then the circuit has good continuity.
