  2. Connect a 12-volt test light between door lock switch connector terminal No. 1, fused B+ circuit (Pink wire) and terminal No. 3, ground circuit (Black wire). See Fig 1 . If test light illuminates brightly, circuits between battery and door lock switch are functional.
  3. If test light does not illuminate brightly, remove and inspect fuse No. 14 (10-amp) for passenger's door, or fuse No. 19 (10-amp) for driver's door from junction block. See Fig 2 and Fig 3 . If fuse is okay, repair open door lock switch circuit. See WIRING DIAGRAMS  . If fuse is blown, replace fuse and go to next step.
