Step 11
11. Alternatively remove the unit completely and "exercise" it with a suitable 12v (or slightly higher, 14v or 15v) DC supply. The relevant pins are numbered 8 and 9 on the main connector. One polarity will open and the reverse will close.
I happened to have some small, insulated blade (faston type) connectors that fitted over the pins to facilitate wiring to my DC supply.
This picture is a bit blurred, but the relevant pins are clear enough, they are the central 2 in the row of 4. The numbers are moulded clearly into the plastic and visible by eye.
The pins are numbered 1 to 5 from left to right on the bottom row then 6 to 10 right to left along the top. Numbers 2,3,4 and 7,8,9,10 were present on mine.
