Power Supply & Ground Circuit Check

  1. Disconnect combination meter harness connectors. Using a DVOM connected to ground, measure voltage at appropriate combination meter connector terminal, with ignition switch in specified positions. See POWER SUPPLY CHECK  table. See Fig 1 . If readings are as specified, go to step  3 . If readings are not as specified, go to next step.
  2. Check 10-amp fuses No. 6, 9 and 21 of instrument panel fuse block located at left end of dash. If fuses are open, check for a shorted wiring harness between the combination meter and instrument panel fuse block. Replace fuses as necessary. If fuses are okay, go to next step.
    POWER SUPPLY CHECK

    Between Connector/Terminal & Ground Ignition Switch Position DVOM Reading
    M41/No. 1 OFF Zero Voltage
    ..... ACC Battery Voltage
    ..... ON Battery Voltage
    M43/No. 57 OFF Zero Voltage
    ..... ACC Zero Voltage
    ..... ON Battery Voltage
    M43/No 59 OFF Zero Voltage
    ..... ACC Zero Voltage
    ..... ON Battery Voltage
  3. Check for continuity to ground at combination meter harness connector M43, terminals No. 60, 61 and 62 (Black wire). See Fig 1 . If continuity exists, power and ground check is complete. If continuity does not exist, check for an open ground circuit or poor connection. See WIRING DIAGRAMS  .
