Pinpoint Test K: The Turn Signal Lamps Are Inoperative

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Mercury Mariner and 2008 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION: Use the correct probe adapter(s) when making measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may damage the connector.
  1. K1 CHECK FOR CORRECT HIGH BEAM OPERATION 
    • Place the headlamp switch in the HEADLAMPS ON position.
    • Place the multifunction switch in the HIGH BEAM position while observing the high beam headlamps.
    • Do the high beams operate correctly? 
    1. YES  : PLACE the headlamp switch in the OFF position. Go to  K2.
    2. NO  : REFER to Headlamps .
  2. K2 CHECK THE MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH 
    • Key in OFF position.
    • Disconnect: Multifunction Switch C202
    • Carry out the multifunction switch component test. Refer to appropriate COMPONENT TESTING article.
    • Is the multifunction switch OK? 
    1. YES  : Go to  K3.
    2. NO  : INSTALL a new multifunction switch. REFER to STEERING COLUMN SWITCHES article. TEST the system for normal operation.
  3. K3 CHECK CIRCUIT CLS20 (BN/BU) (LH TURN SIGNAL) OR CLS24 (BN/WH) (RH TURN SIGNAL) FOR AN OPEN 
    • Disconnect: SJB C2280b
    • Measure the resistance between the multifunction switch C202-2 (LH turn lamps), circuit CLS20 (BN/BU), harness side and the SJB C2280b-42, circuit CLS20 (BN/BU), harness side; or between the multifunction switch C202-3 (RH turn lamps), circuit CLS24 (BN/WH), harness side and the SJB C2280b-29, circuit CLS24 (BN/WH), harness side.
      • Fig 1: Checking Circuits For Open

    • Is the resistance less than 5 ohms? 
    1. YES  : Go to  K4.
    2. NO  : REPAIR the circuit in question. TEST the system for normal operation.
  4. K4 CHECK FOR CORRECT SJB OPERATION 
    • Disconnect all the SJB connectors.
    • Check for:
      • corrosion
      • damaged pins
      • pushed-out pins
    • Connect all the SJB connectors and make sure they seat correctly.
    • Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.
    • Is the concern still present? 
    1. YES  : INSTALL a new SJB. REFER to MULTIFUNCTION ELECTRONIC MODULES article. TEST the system for normal operation.
    2. NO  : The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector.
