WARNING
When troubleshooting an electrical malfunction, ALWAYS disconnect
intervehicular cable from semitrailer. Failure to follow this warning may
create a spark and explosion,
resulting in serious injury or death to
personnel.
NOTE
• Refer to paragraph 4-30 to determine routing of electrical wires and
location of electrical components.
• To ensure an accurate reading, probes of multimeter must contact bare
wire and unpainted metal surfaces.
Step 1.
Check continuity in blue wire between pin #7 at front of 12-volt electrical connector
and outside post of circuit breaker #2.
If there is continuity, that wire is O.K. Go to step 2.
If there is no continuity, replace wire (see paragraph 4-17). While replacing
wire, visually inspect for a bent or corroded connector pin. If pin is damaged,
replace electrical connector (see paragraph 4-17). If malfunction still exists,
go to step 2.
