Pinpoint Test A: No Power In All Ignition Switch Positions

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Lincoln MKX and 2007 Ford Edge. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION: Use the Flex Probe Kit for all test connections to prevent damage to the wiring terminals. Do not use standard multi-meter probes.
NOTE: Verify that battery voltage is 10 volts or greater.
  1. A1 CHECK FOR VOLTAGE AT SJB FUSE 27 (20A) 
    • Key in OFF position.
    • Disconnect: SJB Fuse 27 (20A)
    • Measure the voltage between SJB fuse 27 (20A), input side and ground.
    • Is the voltage greater than 10 volts? 
    1. YES  : Go to  A2.
    2. NO  : Go to  A3.
  2. A2 CHECK FOR VOLTAGE ON CIRCUIT SBP27 (BU/RD) 
    • Connect: SJB Fuse 27 (20A)
    • Disconnect: Ignition Switch C250
    • Fig 1: Measuring Voltage Between Ignition Switch C250-4, Circuit SBP27 (BU/RD), Harness Side & Ground

    • Measure the voltage between ignition switch C250-4, circuit SBP27 (BU/RD), harness side and ground.
    • Is the voltage greater than 10 volts? 
    1. YES  : INSTALL a new ignition switch. REFER to Ignition Switch . TEST the system for normal operation.
    2. NO  : VERIFY SJB fuse 27 (20A) is OK. If OK, REPAIR circuit SBP27 (BU/RD). TEST the system for normal operation.
  3. A3 CHECK FOR CORRECT SJB OPERATION 
    • Disconnect: SJB C2280a
    • Disconnect: SJB C2280b
    • Check the SJB connectors for:
      • corrosion.
      • pushed-out pins.
      • spread terminals.
    • Connect: SJB C2280a
    • Connect: SJB C2280b
    • Make sure the connectors seat correctly, then operate the system and verify the concern is still present.
    • Is the concern still present? 
    1. YES  : INSTALL a new SJB. REFER to MULTIFUNCTION ELECTRONIC MODULES . TEST the system for normal operation.
    2. NO  : The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector.
