  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate backup lamp.
  2. Ignition OFF, exterior lamps OFF, test for less than 5 Ω between the ground circuit terminal B and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
  3. Connect the harness connector at the backup lamp.
  4. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the backup lamp switch.
  5. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal A and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
  6. Verify that a test lamp does not illuminate between the control circuit terminal B and ground.
    • If the test lamp illuminates, test the control circuit for a short to voltage.
  7. Connect a 10 A fused jumper between the B+ circuit terminal A and the control circuit terminal B. Ignition ON, verify the backup lamps are illuminated.
    • If the backup lamps do not illuminate, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the backup lamp.
  8. If all circuits test normal, replace the backup lamp switch.
