WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 GMC Sonoma, 2003 GMC Jimmy, 2003 Chevrolet S10 Pickup, and 2003 Chevrolet Blazer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit.
- Disconnect the load.
- Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the ohm position.
- Connect 1 lead of the DMM to 1 end of the circuit to be tested.
- Connect the other lead of the DMM to a good ground.
- If the DMM does NOT display infinite resistance (OL), there is a short to ground in the circuit.
