Is there continuity?  

YES -Check for loose wires or poor connections at the heater control panel 30P connector. If the 
connections are good, substitute a known-good heater control panel, and recheck. If the 
symptom/indication goes away, replace the original heater control panel. 

NO -Check for an open in the wire between the heater control panel and body ground. If the wire is OK, 
check for poor ground at G501. 

A/C CONDENSER FAN CIRCUIT TROUBLESHOOTING 

1. Check the No. 1 (30 A) fuse in the under-hood fuse/relay box, and the No. 14 (10 A) fuse in the under-

dash fuse/relay box. 

Are the fuses OK?  

YES -Go to step 2. 

NO -Replace the fuse(s), and recheck. 

2. Remove the A/C condenser fan relay from the under-hood fuse/relay box, and test it (see POWER
