Starter Relay
- Remove starter relay from power distribution center at driver's side front corner of engine compartment, near the battery. Note terminal identification on starter relay. See Fig 1
.
- To check starter relay resistance, use ohmmeter and check resistance between terminals No. 85 and 86 on starter relay. Replace starter relay if resistance is not 70-80 ohms.
- To check starter relay operation, connect ohmmeter between terminals No. 30 and 87A on starter relay. Ohmmeter should indicate continuity.
- Connect ohmmeter between terminals No. 30 and 87 on starter relay. Ohmmeter should indicate no continuity.
- Connect jumper wire between negative battery terminal and terminal No. 85 on starter relay. Connect jumper wire between positive battery terminal and terminal No. 86 on starter relay.
- Starter relay should now be energized. No continuity should now exist between terminals No. 30 and 87A on starter relay. Continuity should now exist between terminals No. 30 and 87 on starter relay. Disconnect jumper wires. Replace starter relay if defective.
