An analog multimeter displays results by moving a pointer across a printed scale. , set it to measure ohms, and make this check:

Put one multimeter lead on pin 1 and the other on pin 2 of the J3 connector on the logic box.

If you get a reading of about 8K-to 10K-ohms, verify the thermistor is functional by placing your fingers gently on the bulb. It's located in the return air duct adjacent to the fan shrouds for the vent motor.

The reading should change because your skin temperature differs from the outside temperature. As you move your fingers off the bulb, the reading should return to the original setting. In SWA adv. 1. So. , you may need to cool your fingers with some ice before making this test.
