Control Panel Testing

Switch ignition on, touch "75° AUTO" and observe L.E.D.'s come on. Switch ignition on and off a few times to ensure that L.E.D.'s always light "75° AUTO". If no lights, power is not reaching control panel. Check A/C fuse and brown feed wire to control panel. If L.E.D. changes position when ignition is turned on, orange B+ feed wire may be disconnected or in wrong position, or fuse may be blown.
