  3. Remove driver's door trim panel. Disconnect driver's door lock motor/ajar switch 4-pin connector. Using DVOM, measure resistance between ground and driver's door lock motor/ajar switch connector terminal No. 2 (Black wire). See Fig 1. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, go to next step. If resistance is 5 ohms or greater, repair open in Black wire between driver's door lock motor/ajar switch connector and ground. Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST  under VERIFICATION TESTS.
