Inspection and Verification

1. Verify the customer concern.
2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical or electrical damage. VISUAL INSPECTION CHART Mechanical Electrical Clock Smart junction box (SJB) fuse 7 (7.5A) Circuitry
3. If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause before proceeding to the next step.
4. If the fault is not visually evident, verify the symptom and GO to «SYMPTOM CHART»(/ford/five-hundred/i-2004-2007/remont/gauges-instrument-panels/#message-center-clock__symptom-chart) .

Scheme 129

1. A1 CHECK CIRCUIT 483 (RD) FOR AN OPEN Key in OFF position. Disconnect: Clock C2016. Measure the voltage between the clock C2016-6, circuit 483 (RD), harness side and ground. Is the voltage greater than 10 volts? Yes : GO to A2. No : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
2. A2 CHECK CIRCUIT 1205 (BK) FOR AN OPEN Measure the resistance between the clock C2016-3, circuit 1205 (BK), harness side and ground. Is the resistance less than 5 ohms? Yes : INSTALL a new clock. REFER to «CLOCK»(/ford/five-hundred/i-2004-2007/remont/gauges-instrument-panels/#message-center-clock) . TEST the system for normal operation. No : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
