Test for 60-180 Ω between terminals 85 and 86.
- If less than 60 or greater than 180 Ω
  Replace the relay.
- If between 60-180 Ω
Test for infinite resistance between the terminals listed below:
- 30 and 86
- 30 and 87
- 30 and 85
- 85 and 87
- If less than infinite resistance
  Replace the relay.
- If infinite resistance
Install a 20 A fused jumper wire between relay terminal 85 and 12 V. Install a jumper wire between relay terminal 86 and ground.
Test for less than 2 Ω between terminals 30 and 87.
- If 2 Ω or greater
  Replace the relay.
- If less than 2 Ω
All OK
