With a Test Lamp
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2011 GMC Yukon XL, 2011 GMC Yukon, 2011 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2011 Chevrolet Suburban, and 2011 Chevrolet Avalanche. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
Only use the test lamp procedure on low impedance power and ground circuits.
- Remove the power feed (i.e. fuse, control module) from the suspect circuit.
- Disconnect the load.
- Connect one lead of the test lamp to one end of the circuit to be tested.
- Connect the other lead of the test lamp to battery positive voltage.
- Connect the other end of the circuit to ground.
- If the test lamp illuminates (full intensity), then the circuit has good continuity.
