Fig. 5 Relay continuity test connection locations:

13. On all models, using a suitable ohmmeter, check relay continuity as follows:
a. Ensure continuity between terminal Nos. 1 and 3, Fig. 9.
b. No continuity should exist between terminal Nos. 2 and 4.
c. If continuity is not as indicated, replace relay.
14. Using suitable ohmmeter, inspect relay operation as follows:
a. Apply battery voltage across terminal Nos. 1 and 3.
b. Using suitable ohmmeter, ensure continuity exists between terminal Nos. 2 and 4.
c. If continuity is not as indicated, replace relay.
