^ DO NOT attempt to repair the vehicle by replacing the CTM.

Caution:
^ Make sure that all connections are fully seated to the CTM, center instrument panel components, wiper motor and multi-function switch during Installation. Check multi-function switch connection closely for loose connections, terminals, and terminal push outs. Do not attempt a continuity check or probe the circuits of the wire harness.

3. Verify repair.
