Pinpoint Test M: The Hazard Lamps Are Inoperative

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Ford Pickup, 2005 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2005 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2005 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. M1 CHECK THE VOLTAGE TO THE ELECTRONIC FLASHER 
    • Disconnect: Electronic Flasher.
    • Measure the voltage between electronic flasher connector pin 85, circuit 10 (LG/RD), harness side and ground.

    • Is the voltage greater than 10 volts? 
    • Yes  : GO to  M3.
    • No  : GO to M2.
  2. M2 CHECK THE CENTRAL JUNCTION BOX (CJB) 
    • Disconnect: CJB C270b.
    • Measure the voltage between CJB C270b-2, circuit 10 (LG/RD), component side and ground.

    • Is the voltage greater than 10 volts? 
    • Yes  : REPAIR circuit 10 (LG/RD). TEST the system for normal operation.
    • No  : INSTALL a new CJB. TEST the system for normal operation.
  3. M3 CHECK CIRCUIT 57 (BK) FOR AN OPEN 
    • Measure the resistance between electronic flasher connector pin 86, circuit 57 (BK), harness side and ground.

    • Is the resistance less than 5 ohms? 
    • Yes  : GO to M4.
    • No  : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
  4. M4 CHECK CIRCUIT 385 (WH/RD) FOR AN OPEN OR SHORT TO GROUND 
    • Disconnect: Multifunction Switch C202a.
    • Measure the resistance between multifunction switch C202a-3, circuit 385 (WH/RD), harness side and electronic flasher connector pin 87a, circuit 385 (WH/RD), harness side; and between multifunction switch C202a-3, circuit 385 (WH/RD), harness side and ground.

    • Is the resistance less than 5 ohms between multifunction switch and electronic flasher, and greater than 10,000 ohms between multifunction switch and ground? 
    • Yes  : GO to M5.
    • No  : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
  5. M5 CHECK CIRCUIT 44 (LB) FOR A SHORT TO GROUND 
    • Measure the resistance between multifunction switch C202a-2, circuit 44 (LB), harness side and ground.

    • Is the resistance greater than 10,000 ohms? 
    • Yes  : GO to M6.
    • No  : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
  6. M6 CHECK THE MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH 
    • Carry out the multifunction switch component test. Refer to COMPONENT TESTING .
    • Is the multifunction switch OK? 
    • Yes  : INSTALL a new electronic flasher. TEST the system for normal operation.
    • No  : INSTALL a new multifunction switch. REFER to STEERING COLUMN SWITCHES . TEST the system for normal operation.
