Is there continuity between the terminals?

Yes : Go to 2.

No : If no continuity exists, replace the adapter harness.
CHECK SEAT HEATER SWITCH UNIT .
Apply battery voltage between seat heater switch terminals, and perform the inspection.

CAUTION: When applying battery voltage, do not mix up the positive (+) side and the negative (-) side. Incorrect polarity connection may cause LED damage inside the switch.
