#Use a multimeter to measure resistance across all the pairs of the connectors on the underside of the PTC relay. Only one pair should give you a reading - it should be between 10 - 100 ohms. If you can't get any reading at all make sure you set the multimeter on the lowest resistance or Continuity range and repeat the measurements. If you still get no indication of continuity, the PTC relay is broken.
