Pinpoint Test C : No Power In Run (Vehicles With A Conventional Ignition Switch)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Lincoln Navigator and 2017 Ford Expedition. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: The following Pinpoint Test uses a test lamp to simulate normal circuit loads. Use only a Rotunda Test Lamp (SGT27000) or 250- 300mA incandescent bulb test lamp. To avoid connector terminal damage, use the Rotunda Flex Probe kit for the test lamp probe connection to the vehicle. Do not use the test lamp probe directly on any connector.

      Ground

    Is the voltage greater than 11 volts? 

    Yes  GO to  C8.
    No  VERIFY BJB fuse 42 (5A) is OK. If OK, REPAIR the circuit. If not OK, REFER to the OEM Electrical Wiring Diagram Introduction to identify the possible cause of the circuit short.
  8. C8 CHECK THE RUN/START RELAY BATTERY SUPPLY CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN

    • Measure:
      Positive Lead Measurement / Action Negative Lead
      RUN/START relay, cavity 3
      GFD134422Courtesy of FORD MOTOR COMPANY
      Ground

    Is the voltage greater than 11 volts? 

    Yes  GO to  C9.
    No  VERIFY BJB fuse 12 (40A) is OK. If OK, REPAIR the circuit. If not OK, REFER to the OEM Electrical Wiring Diagram Introduction to identify the possible cause of the circuit short.
  9. C9 CHECK THE BCM RUN/START RELAY CONTROL FOR A SHORT
