Hi,

There could be an issue with the switch or the control module. However, I need you to check something simple first.

Under the hood is a fuse box on the left side. Locate fuse 8 and confirm it is good. In addition to checking the fuse, I need you to confirm there is power to it.

Here is a link to help:

Also, I attached two pics below. Pic 1 is from the wiring schematic. The second pic shows where the fuse is located in the fuse box.

Let me know if this helps or if you have other questions.

Take care and God Bless,

Joe
