Pinpoint Test A: No Power in All Ignition Switch Positions - Vehicles with a Conventional Ignition Switch
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Ford Explorer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- A1 CHECK THE IGNITION SWITCH
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect: Ignition Switch.
- Carry out the IGNITION SWITCH COMPONENT TEST.
Refer to OEM WIRING DIAGRAMS COMPONENT TESTING for component testing procedures.
Is the ignition switch OK?
- Yes : GO to A2 .
- No : INSTALL a new ignition switch. REFER to IGNITION SWITCH .
- A2 CHECK FOR POWER TO THE IGNITION SWITCH
Is the voltage greater than 11 volts?
- Yes : GO to A4.
- No : VERIFY BCM fuse 28 (15A) is OK. See OEM FUSE AND RELAY INFORMATION . If OK, GO to A3 . If not OK, REFER to the appropriate OEM WIRING DIAGRAMS to identify the possible causes of the circuit short.
- A3 CHECK FOR POWER TO BCM FUSE 28 (15A)
Is the voltage greater than 11 volts?
- Yes : REPAIR circuit SBP28 (GN/RD).
- No : VERIFY High Current BJB Fuse B (100A) is OK. See OEM FUSE AND RELAY INFORMATION . If OK, REPAIR the BCM voltage supply circuit. If not OK, REFER to the appropriate OEM WIRING DIAGRAMS to identify the possible causes of the circuit short.
- A4 CHECK FOR CORRECT BCM OPERATION
- Disconnect and inspect all BCM connectors.
- Repair:
- corrosion (install new connector or terminals - clean module pins)
- damaged or bent pins - install new terminals/pins
- pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary
- Reconnect the BCM connectors and all previously disconnected exterior system connectors. Make sure they seat and latch correctly.
- Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.
Is the concern still present?
- Yes : CHECK OASIS for any applicable TSBs . If a TSB exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW TSB instructions. If no TSBs address this concern, INSTALL a new BCM . REFER to BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM) - WITH INTELLIGENT ACCESS or REFER to BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM) - WITHOUT INTELLIGENT ACCESS .
- No : The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by module connections. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues.
