1. Disconnect the battery cables as instructed. See WARNING “To avoid unintentionally starting...” in
General Warning, Section 10, Page 10-1.

from turning. Set a multimeter to 200
Ω
(ohms) and place the red (+) probe on the A1 terminal and the
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. See Motor
Removal on page 15-3.

turning. Set a multimeter to 200
Ω
(ohms) and place the red (+) probe on the S1 terminal and the black
(–) probe on the S2 terminal. The multimeter should indicate continuity. If the reading is incorrect, a pos-
sible open field coil or bad connections at the terminals may be the cause. The motor will need to be
removed from the vehicle and repaired by a qualified technician. See Motor Removal on page 15-3.
