Lighting Systems - Interior - Service Information: Overview Chrysler Crossfire I

OPERATION

Non-switched power is supplied through Fuse 9 in the Underhood Accessory Fuse Block, and ground is provided by the Body Control Module. Regardless of the ignition switch position, the courtesy lamps illuminate when either door is opened if the courtesy lamp defeat switch is in the "-" position; or the courtesy lamp switch is pressed. The courtesy lamps will fade off approximately 8 seconds after the last door is closed. If a door remains unclosed, the lamps will remain on for approximately 5 minutes. At this time the Body Control Module will interrupt the ground path to conserve battery power.

When the courtesy lamp switch is pressed, the courtesy lamps are provided a direct path to ground and will remain illuminated until the switch is pressed again.

DESCRIPTION

There are three door ajar switches, one at each door and one in the liftgate latch. The door switches are located in the B-pillar directly below the latch striker plate, and the liftgate switch is integral to the liftgate latch assembly. A door or body harness connector with a service loop connects each switch to the vehicle electrical system. The door ajar switches cannot be adjusted or repaired, and if faulty or damaged, the switch itself or the liftgate latch must be replaced as an assembly. For complete door ajar switch removal procedures, see REMOVAL .

The door ajar switches are actuated by either door, or the liftgate being opened. When either door or the liftgate is closed and properly latched, its ajar switch is open. When either door or the liftgate is partially latched, its ajar switch is closed. The ajar switches are connected via a harness connector to a body ground and the Central Locking Pump/Security System Module.

The Glove Box Lamp/Switch contains two separate switches; one for control of the illumination, and the other to sense the glove box door position. Power is supplied through Fuse 31 in the Underhood Accessory Fuse Block for the lamp illumination switch. The Central Locking Pump/Security System Module receives a ground signal from the second switch when the glove box is opened. Neither of these switches can be adjusted or repaired. If faulty, worn, or damaged, the entire Glove Box Lamp/Switch assembly must be replaced. For complete Glove Box Lamp/Switch removal procedures, refer to REMOVAL .
