1. Have an assistant sit in the operator’s seat and turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position. An audible “click” should be heard from the main relay as it closes. 2. With the ignition switch still in the ON/RUN position, pull closed relays out of the power distribution module. An audible “click” should be heard if the circuit is activated when the relay opens as it is removed. 3. With the ignition switch still in the ON/RUN position, plug the removed relays back into the power distribution module. An audible “click” should be heard if the circuit is activated and the relay is energized.
