Troubleshooting Precautions

Before Troubleshooting
1. Check the main fuse and the fuse box.
2. Check the battery for damage, state of charge, and clean and tight connections.

CAUTION:
^ Do not quick-charge a battery unless the battery ground cable has been disconnected, or you will damage the alternator diodes.
^ Do not attempt to crank the engine with the ground cable disconnected or you will severely damage the wiring.

Terminal Connectors (packed With Dielectric Grease):

While You're Working
1. Make sure connectors are clean, and have no loose terminals or receptacles.
2. Make sure multiple terminal connectors are packed with dielectric (silicone) grease. Part Number: 08798-9001.
3. When connecting a connector, push it until it clicks into place.

CAUTION:
^ Do not pull on the wires when disconnecting a connector. Pull only on the connector housings.
^ Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a 10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multimeter. Never use a test light or analog meter on circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
