Check term 1 at card, upper left screw term. Pos. lead. Neg. lead at batt. neg. Key on. you should have 5 volt with smoothly decreasing voltage as you move control handle F/R. Terminal 5 or 6 should have voltage with F/R activated. Term 3-4 should be batt voltage. T2 SCR panel should have 1/2 batt. volt.
Steer switches under truck by steer wheel need to function properly. Not just click. they must work electrically. Wiring runs up under entry switch bracket and up to TB 2 at top of contactor panel.
