Looking at the pin assignment on the j520 I see only a few pins used. However, one caught my attention which is the glove box unlock motor activation. Mine is currently not working and was before. I guess my question is.. if I check for power and or continuity at pins 105 and 113 (can-h and can-l) will that give me aome insight as to the functionality of this module (j520)? Sorry in advance if this is a completely ridiculous and naive question. Thanks again

Thanks. Not overly concerned with getting to glove box open. Just thought it may be a clue to the module's status?

It is hard to find in the manual still looking.
I assume you have check all the fuses on the right side panel?

Thanks. I appreciate it. I did. There were a few blown, power outlets, I replaced them. I just saw that the j520 is fuse 5 in carrier 1. That was visually ok, but I will test that one.

I believe there is a few boxes of some kind under the passenger foot-well carpet, os there may be water damage there as well.
