Test N: Left Turn Signal Indicator Inoperative

  1. Turn ignition switch to LOCK position. Remove instrument cluster. See INSTRUMENT CLUSTER  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Turn ignition switch to RUN position. Place multifunction switch in left turn position. Measure voltage between ground and instrument cluster Black 12-pin harness connector C287 terminal No. 5 (Light Green/White wire). See Figure . If voltage varies from zero volts to more than 10 volts, go to next step. If voltage does not vary from zero volts to more than 10 volts, repair open in Light Green/White wire between instrument cluster and multifunction switch. Recheck system operation.
  2. Turn ignition switch to LOCK position. Measure resistance between ground and instrument cluster Black 12-pin harness connector C287 terminal No. 7 (Black wire). If resistance is less than 5 ohms, go to next step. If resistance is 5 ohms or more, repair open in Black wire between instrument cluster and ground. Recheck system operation.
  3. Remove left turn indicator bulb and check for continuity between bulb terminals. If continuity exists, replace instrument cluster printed circuit. See PRINTED CIRCUIT  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Recheck system operation. If continuity does not exist, replace bulb. Recheck system operation.
