Sebring Coupe V6-3.0L VIN H (2005)
A blade type fuse has test taps provided to allow checking of the fuse itself without removing it from the fuse block. The fuse is okay if the test light
comes on when its one lead is connected to the test taps (one at a time) and the other lead is grounded. Remember to turn the ignition switch to ON to
ensure all circuits are live.
Checking Relays
1. By using a relay, a heavy current can be turned on and off by a switch using much less current. For example, in the circuit shown here, when the
switch is turned on (closed), current flows to the coil of the relay. Then, its contact is turned on (closed) and the light comes on. The current
flowing through the switch is much less than that for the light.
2. When current flows through the coil of a relay, its core is magnetized to attract the iron piece, closing (ON) the contact at the tip of the iron piece.
When the coil current is turned off, the iron piece returns to its original position by a spring, opening the contact (OFF).
3. Relays may be classified as the normally open-type or the normally closed-type, depending on their contact construction.
NOTE: The deenergized state means that no current is flowing through the coil. The energized state means that current is flowing through the
coil.
