  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate E32 Cigarette Lighter Receptacle.
  2. Test for less than 10 Ω between the ground circuit terminal C and ground.
    • If greater than 10 Ω 
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Test for less than 2 Ω in the ground circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, repair the open/high resistance in the ground connection.
    • If less than 10 Ω 
  3. Ignition ON.
  4. Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the control circuit terminal A and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate and the circuit fuse is good 
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Test for less than 2 Ω in the control circuit end to end.
      • If greater than 2 Ω, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, verify the fuse is not open and there is voltage at the fuse. Refer to Retained Accessory Power Malfunction .
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate and the circuit fuse is open 
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the control circuit terminal A and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If infinite resistance, replace the appropriate E32 Cigarette Lighter Receptacle.
    • If the test lamp illuminates 
  5. Replace the appropriate E32 Cigarette Lighter Receptacle.
