Does the test lamp illuminate?
- Go to Step 4  Go to Step 5 
4 Using the J 35616 adapter, connect a test lamp between ground of the suspect shock to a battery positive voltage (B+) circuit. Refer to Circuit Testing in Wiring Systems.
Does the test lamp illuminate?
- Go to Step 6  Go to Step 8 
5 Important: Take care not to damage the pins in the connector.
Using a J 39200 and J 35616 , measure the resistance of the suspect shock.
