turning. Set a multimeter to 200 ohms and place the red (+) probe on the A1 terminal and black (–) probe
on the A2 terminal. The multimeter should indicate continuity. If the reading is incorrect, a possible open
or poor contact in a brush assembly and/or open armature windings may be the cause. The motor will
need to be removed from the vehicle and repaired by a qualified technician.
