inserted all the way into the main control.
 If visual check passes, go to step 5.
 If connector is not inserted properly,
reconnect J6 and repeat step 1.
5. Check the lid lock motor winding and
switches by removing J6 from the main control
and checking the resistance values shown in
the following table:
Lid Lock Resistance
