Pinpoint Test C: The High Beams 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.
- C1 CHECK THE HIGH BEAM INDICATOR
- Key in OFF position.
- Place the headlamp switch in the ON position.
- Place the multifunction switch in the high beam position.
- Does the high beam indicator illuminate?
- Yes : TURN the headlamp switch off. GO to C2.
- No : TURN the headlamp switch off. GO to C3.
- C2 CHECK CIRCUIT 12 (LG/BK) FOR AN OPEN
- Disconnect: Central Junction Box (CJB) C270h.
- Place the headlamp switch in the ON position.
- Measure the voltage between CJB C270h-1, circuit 12 (LG/BK), component side and ground.
- Is the voltage greater than 10 volts?
- Yes : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
- No : INSTALL a new CJB. TEST the system for normal operation.
- C3 CHECK FOR VOLTAGE TO THE CENTRAL JUNCTION BOX (CJB)
- Disconnect: CJB C270b.
- Place the headlamp switch in the ON position.
- Measure the voltage between CJB C270b-7, circuit 632 (GY/OG), harness side and ground.
- Is the voltage greater than 10 volts?
- Yes : INSTALL a new CJB. TEST the system for normal operation.
- No : TURN the headlamp switch off. GO to C4.
- C4 CHECK CIRCUIT 632 (GY/OG) FOR AN OPEN
- Disconnect: Multifunction Switch C202a.
- Measure the resistance between CJB C270b-7, circuit 632 (GY/OG), harness side and multifunction switch C202a-7, circuit 632 (GY/OG), harness side.
- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
- Yes : INSTALL a new multifunction switch. REFER to STEERING COLUMN SWITCHES . TEST the system for normal operation.
- No : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
