Right Multi-Function Switch

Be certain to perform the diagnosis for the front wiper system and/or front washer system before testing the right multi-function switch. (Refer to ELECTRICAL/FRONT WIPERS/WASHERS - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING). Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The wiring information includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and connector repair procedures, details of wire harness routing and retention, connector pin-out information and location views for the various wire harness connectors, splices and grounds.

WARNING: ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AIRBAGS, DISABLE THE SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY STEERING WHEEL, STEERING COLUMN, DRIVER AIRBAG, PASSENGER AIRBAG, OR INSTRUMENT PANEL COMPONENT DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE. DISCONNECT AND ISOLATE THE BATTERY NEGATIVE (GROUND) CABLE, THEN WAIT TWO MINUTES FOR THE SYSTEM CAPACITOR TO DISCHARGE BEFORE PERFORMING FURTHER DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE. THIS IS THE ONLY SURE WAY TO DISABLE THE SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM. FAILURE TO TAKE THE PROPER PRECAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN ACCIDENTAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL INJURY.

1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
2. Remove the right multi-function switch from the steering column and disconnect the body wire harness connector for the switch from the switch connector receptacle.

3. Using an ohmmeter, check the right multi-function switch continuity at the terminals in the switch connector receptacle as shown in the Right Multi-Function Switch Tests table.




4. If the right multi-function switch fails any of the continuity checks, replace the faulty switch. If the switch is OK, test and repair the front wiper and washer system circuits between the right multi-function switch and the front wiper motor or the front washer pump/motor as required.
