Touch one lead to that point on the fuse block, and the other lead to one of the control wires. Operate your power door locks. If the light turns on or the volt meter indicates 12 volts when you move the door lock switch to the LOCK position, you have located a Type B Lock control wire. Test the other wire.

Follow these steps to find constant and ignition power. 1. Locate the wire bundle going to your vehicle’s ignition switch. 2. There is a large red or striped red wire going to your ignition switch.
