I put this checklist together to keep track of electrical system testing, and thought I would share it since it just might help someone who is like minded.
Relevant background:
1. I bench tested major components (W/S washer motor and blower motor being the most important due to difficulty in accessing later on).
2. I continuity tested each wire in each harness before installing them
3. I am in the process of functional testing as you can see from the attached check list. Some items not checked yet, and I have some troubled functions to go after.
My goal? I want to avoid any difficult rework. Examples of things I want to avoid:
1. Removing the W/S washer motor now that most everything is in place. If I needed to do that now, we are talking multiple hours, potential damage, and general frustration.
2. Removing recently installed door panels to fix an issue with electrical equipment located in the door.
3. Removing fastback side panels to take care of a missing ground wire for one of the courtesy lights.
I'm not worried about alternator/starting/charging at this point because it is accessible. The starter motor though would be something I check for sure before bolting that up.
I hope this helps.
