Testing

Before any testing is attempted the battery should be carefully charged and all connections and terminals cleaned and tightened to insure proper continuity and grounds.

With dome tamp on, apply switch in direction of failure. If dome lamp dims the seat motor is trying to work indicating mechanical jamming. If dome lamp does not dim, then proceed with the following electrical tests.

Circuit Breaker
Find correct circuit breaker on fuse block. Pull out slightly but be sure that circuit breaker terminals still contact terminals in fuse block. Connect ground wire of voltmeter to a good ground. With probe of voltmeter positive wire, check both terminals of circuit breaker for battery voltage. If only one terminal checks at battery voltage, circuit breaker is defective and must be replaced. If neither terminal shows battery voltage, check for open or shorted circuit to circuit breaker.
