STEERING COLUMN ELECTRICAL
ANALYZER J-23980 FOR C AND K SERIES
COLUMNS
A new tool has been developed to help the technician
analyze the steering column wiring harness for electrical
problems. The tool in actuality eliminates the steering
column, related wiring and components; and replaces
them with the tool itself. In this way disassembly of the
column is not performed until the problem has been
determined to be
in
the column. By moving the tester
switch, (with the key in the “on” position), the various
functions may be checked. The switch positions are
“OFF”, “HORN”, “LEFT TURN”, “RIGHT TURN”,
“KEY BUZZER”, and “HAZARD”. (Trucks do not
incorporate a Key Buzzer Switch) If the systems function
properly while using the tester, then the malfunction has
been narrowed to the column wiring or components.
When this has been determined then the column may be
serviced to correct the malfunction.
To use the tool just unfasten the harmonica connector on the
column and plug the harness from J-23980 into the vehicle
chassis harness. The “A”, “B”, and “C” terminals on the tester
will overhang the chassis connector. This does not affect the
test results. These terminals are for vehicles with cornering
lights. Connect the single black jumper to a good ground. The
tester is now ready for use (Fig. 116).
TURN SIGNAL DIAGNOSIS C AND K
SERIES
When a complaint is made involving the turn signal
Fig. 116—Steering Column Electrical Analyzer -
J-23980
system, it must first be determined whether the problem
is mechanical or electrical. If mechanical, the switch
itself is at fault and must be repaired or replaced. If
electrical, J-23980 should be used to determine whether
the switch, or the chassis wiring is in need of repair or
replacement.
This diagnostic procedure has been designed to guide the
mechanic through the proper diagnosis and repair of the
turn signal system. The service section is to be used
where assembly and/or disassembly procedures are
required. The wiring diagram, found in Section 12,
should be used to trouble shoot the chassis and body
wiring after the problem has been isolated.
The nature of the customer complaint will generally
point to the problem area.
ELECTRICAL
Chassis Electrical
The most common turn signal system problems are
generally electrical and may easily be fixed by the
replacement of
fuses, bulbs
or
flashers
First make these checks and replace any non-operative
components.
1.
Check fuses
(Figure 117). Replace if blown. If new
fuse blows, replace flasher in system. (There are 2
flashers in the signal switch system. The hazard
warning flasher is located on the fuse block, while
the turn signal flasher is up under the instrument
panel).
