Battery Saver Relay

  1. Remove battery saver relay from instrument panel fuse/relay block. Check continuity using an ohmmeter. Continuity should exist between relay terminal No. 2 and all other terminals. See Figure. If resistance is 5 ohms or less between relay terminal No. 2 and any other terminal, replace relay. If all resistances are more than 5 ohms, go to next step.
  2. Using two jumper wires, connect one jumper between positive battery terminal and relay terminal No. 1. Connect another jumper wire between positive battery terminal and relay terminal No. 3. Measure voltage between ground and relay terminal No. 4. If battery voltage is not present, replace relay. If battery voltage is present, use third jumper wire and ground terminal No. 2. Check for voltage at terminal No. 5. If battery voltage is not present, replace relay, If battery voltage is present, relay is okay.
