WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Ford RV Cutaway, 2008 Ford Econoline, 2008 Ford E450 Super Duty, and 2008 Ford Cutaway. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
Use the correct probe adapter(s) when making measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may damage the connector.
- C1 CHECK THE LOW BEAMS
- Key in OFF position.
- Place the headlamp switch in the HEADLAMPS ON position.
- Are the low beams illuminated?
NOTE: Make sure the multifunction switch is in the LOW BEAM position.- YES : Go to C2.
- NO : Go to Pinpoint Test A .
- C2 BYPASS THE MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH
- Place the headlamp switch in the OFF position.
- Disconnect: Multifunction Switch C202b
- Connect a fused (20A) jumper wire between the multifunction switch C202b-11, circuit 195 (TN/WH), harness side and the multifunction switch C202b-10, circuit 632 (GY/OG), harness side.
- Do the high beams illuminate?

- YES : VERIFY the CJB fuse 30 (15A) is OK. If OK, REMOVE the jumper wire. INSTALL a new multifunction switch. REFER to STEERING COLUMN SWITCHES article. TEST the system for normal operation.
- NO : LEAVE the jumper wire connected. Go to C3.
- C3 CHECK FOR VOLTAGE TO THE CJB FUSE 30 (15A)
- Measure the voltage between the CJB fuse 30 (15A), input side and ground.
- Is the voltage greater than 10 volts?
NOTE: Make sure the CJB fuse 30 (15A) is good before continuing diagnostics.- YES : REMOVE the jumper wire. REPAIR circuit 12 (LG/BK) for an open. TEST the system for normal operation.
- NO : REMOVE the jumper wire. REPAIR circuit 632 (GY/OG) for an open. TEST the system for normal operation.
