GENERAL How
to
2. SHORT-CIRCUIT CHECK
Because the fuse has blown, it is probable that there is a short circuit. Follow the
procedures

Take out the blown fuse and connect the test light to the
disconnected terminal (switch: OFF).
Short-circuit between the fuse block and the switch
Switch ON the switch. (The test light illuminates but the illumination
light does not.)
Disconnect the connector of the illumination light.

3. CONTINUITY CHECK
(1) When the switch is in the OFF position, the self power
test light must illuminate or the ohmmeter should read
0 ohm, only when the terminals 1 and 2 are
interconnected.
(2) When the switch is the ON position, the self power
test light should come on or the ohmmeter should
read 0 ohm, only when the terminals 3 and 4 are
interconnected.
