WARNING: ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AIR-BAGS, REFER TO AIR BAGS AND SEAT BELTS/AIR BAGS BEFORE

Defogger Relay Switch Continuity
1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable. Remove the accessory switch bezel from the instrument panel and unplug the defogger switch
wire harness connector.
2
Check for continuity between the ground circuit cavity of the defogger switch wire harness connector and a good ground. There should be
continuity. If OK, go to Step 3. If not OK, repair the open circuit as required.
3. Check for continuity between the ground circuit terminal and the rear window defogger switch sense circuit terminal on the back of the defogger
switch housing. There should be momentary continuity as the defogger switch button is depressed, and then no continuity. If OK, see the diagnosis
for the Instrument Cluster. If not OK, replace the faulty switch.
