    OK or NG 

    OK: Repair or replace harness as necessary.

    NG: Repair harness or connector between the front blower motor relay and the front blower motor.

  8. REPLACE FUSE 

    Refer to "FUSE AND FUSIBLE LINK BOX ".

    Does fuse No. 24 or 27 open when the front blower motor is turned on?

    Yes or No 

    YES: GO TO  10.

    NO: GO TO 9.

  9. REPLACE FUSE 

    Refer to "FUSE BLOCK-JUNCTION BOX (J/B) ".

    Does fuse No. 8 open when the ignition switch is turned ON?
