WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Ford RV Cutaway, 2008 Ford Econoline, 2008 Ford E450 Super Duty, and 2008 Ford Cutaway. 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.
- C1 CHECK CIRCUIT 19 (LB/RD) FOR AN OPEN
- Key in OFF position.
- Disconnect: Climate Control C294e
- Place the headlamp switch in the PARK position and rotate the headlamp switch knob fully counterclockwise without turning on the interior lamps.
- Measure the voltage between the climate control C294e-1, circuit 19 (LB/RD), harness side and ground.
- Is the voltage greater than 10 volts?
- YES : Go to C2.
- NO : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
- C2 CHECK CIRCUIT 57 (BK) FOR AN OPEN
- Measure the resistance between the climate control C294e-2, circuit 57 (BK), harness side and ground.
- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
- YES : VERIFY the illumination bulb is OK. If OK, INSTALL a new climate control assembly. REFER to CLIMATE CONTROL article. TEST the system for normal operation.
