DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING (Continued)
• Glove box, ensure that the glove box compart-
ment lamp is off when the door is closed
• All doors are closed
• Sun visor vanity lamps are OFF
• Allow the Illuminated Entry System to time out
in approximately 30 seconds, if equipped.
(2) Disconnect battery negative remote cable (Fig. 3).
CAUTION: Always disconnect the milliampere
meter before opening a door.
(3) Using an multi-meter, that has least a milliampere
range of 200 mA. Set meter to the highest mA range.
(a) Connect it between the battery negative
remote terminal and the battery negative remote
stud (Fig. 4).
(b) If the reading is less than 30 milliamperes,
system is OK.
(c) If the reading is more than 30 milliamperes,
go to High Milliampere Reading.
(4) Each time the milliampere meter is discon-
nected and connected, all electronic timer functions
will be activated for approximately one minute.

HIGH MILLIAMPERE READING
There is either a short circuit or a fault in an elec-
tronic module. There are seven fuses in the Power
Distribution Center and Junction Block that feed the
modules with ignition off draw.
Ensure that all electronic timer functions are
timed out, before testing any of the components.
IN THE POWER DISTRIBUTION CENTER
• Automatic Transmission Control Module (20
Amp)
• Power Control Module (20 Amp)
• Hazard Flasher (20 Amp)
IN THE JUNCTION BLOCK:
• Canadian Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) (20
Amp)
Fig. 4 Ignition Off Draw Test
• Optional Audio Power Amplifier (20 Amp)
• Interior lamps (10 Amp)
• Instrument Cluster (20 Amp)
CAUTION: Always disconnect the milliampere
meter before opening a door.
(1) Remove all seven fuses. By removing these
fuses all ignition off draw from the vehicle electronics
will be disconnected. There should be no reading on
the milliampere meter. If no reading go to Step 2. If
a reading there is a short circuit. Refer to Group 8W,
Wiring Diagrams.
(2) Install the Daytime Running Lamp (DRL) fuse,
if equipped. If meter has no reading go to Step 4. If
there is a reading go to Step 3.
(3) Disconnect the DRL module.
(a) If meter has no reading, replace the DRL
module.
(b) If meter has a reading, there is a short cir-
cuit in the L25 circuit. Refer to Group 8W, Wiring
Diagrams.
(4) Install the Power Amplifier fuse. If meter has
no reading go to Step 6. If there is a reading go to
Step 5.
(5) Disconnect the Power Amplifier.
(a) If meter has no reading, replace the Power
Amplifier.
(b) If meter has a reading, there is a short cir-
cuit in the F30 circuit. Refer to Group 8W, Wiring
Diagrams.
(6) Install the Interior Lamp fuse. If meter has no
reading go to Step 7. If there is a reading go to Step 1.
(a) Disconnect the Radio.
(I) If meter has no reading, replace the Radio.
(II) If meter has a reading, go to Step 2.
(b) Disconnect the Power Sun Roof Module by
disconnecting the headliner connector. The connec-
