  2. Turn ignition off. Remove instrument cluster. See INSTRUMENT CLUSTER  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Remove high beam indicator light bulb. Check continuity between terminals of bulb. If continuity exists, go to next step. If continuity does not exist, replace high beam indicator light bulb.
  3. Disconnect instrument cluster harness connector C252. See Figure . Disconnect multifunction switch connector C250, or Daytime Running Lights (DRL) control connector C297, if equipped. See Figure .
  4. Measure resistance of Red/White wire between instrument cluster harness connector C252 terminal No. 6 and multifunction switch connector C250 terminal No. 1, or DRL control connector C297 terminal No. 3. See Figure . Resistance should be less than 5 ohms. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, replace instrument cluster printed circuit and gauge contact clips. See PRINTED CIRCUIT  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. If resistance is more than 5 ohms, repair open in Red/White wire. See WIRING DIAGRAMS  .
