INTERIOR LAMPS/LIGHTING TESTING

If a vehicle experiences problems with the interior lighting system, verify the following are in proper operating condition

1. Battery connections
2. Charging system
3. Interior lamp bulbs
4. Illumination Control Module/Headlamp switch
5. Wiring harness connectors

For complete interior lamp system schematics and diagrams, see SCHEMATICS AND DIAGRAMS .

Each vehicle is equipped with various lamp assemblies. A good ground is necessary for proper lighting operation. Grounding is provided by the lamp socket when it comes in contact with the metal body, or through a separate ground wire.

When diagnosing the interior lighting circuits, remember that high generator output can burn out bulbs rapidly, and that dim or flickering bulbs can be caused by low generator output or a poor battery condition.

When changing lamp bulbs, check the socket for loose pin connections and/or evidence of corrosion. Repair as necessary.

When it is necessary to remove a component to service another, it should not be necessary to apply excessive force to bend a component to remove it. Before damaging a trim component, verify hidden fasteners or captured edges are not holding the component in place.

For additional interior lamp diagnosis, refer to LAMPS/LIGHTING - INTERIOR - ELECTRICAL DIAGNOSTICS .

Scheme 23

With the courtesy lamp defeat switch in the "O" position (1), the courtesy lamps are prevented from illuminating when the doors are opened. With the courtesy lamp defeat switch in the "-" position, the courtesy lamps illuminate when the doors are opened, then fade to off approximately 8 seconds after the last door is closed (unless the courtesy lamp switch is depressed). 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. The courtesy lamp defeat switch is an integrated part of the courtesy lamp unit assembly and cannot be adjusted or repaired. If faulty, worn, or damaged, the entire assembly must be replaced. For complete courtesy lamp unit removal procedures, refer to REMOVAL .

Scheme 24

The courtesy lamps (1) provide overhead interior illumination when the doors are opened and the courtesy lamp defeat switch (3) is in the "-" position, or when the courtesy lamp switch (2) is pressed. The courtesy lamp defeat switch (3) can prevent the courtesy lamps operation when the doors are opened if the "O" position is selected. The courtesy lamp switch/unit cannot be adjusted or repaired. If faulty, worn, or damaged, the entire assembly must be replaced. For complete courtesy lamp switch/unit removal procedures, refer to REMOVAL .

OPERATION - COURTESY LAMP SWITCH/UNIT

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.

If it is found faulty or damaged, the entire Instrument Cluster must be replaced. For complete Instrument Cluster removal procedures, refer to REMOVAL .

DESCRIPTION - DOOR/LIFTGATE AJAR SWITCH

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 the appropriate removal procedure.

OPERATION - DOOR/LIFTGATE AJAR SWITCH

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.

Scheme 29

The liftgate ajar switch (1) is an integral part of the liftgate handle assembly and cannot be adjusted or repaired. If faulty, worn, or damaged, the entire liftgate handle assembly must be replaced. For complete liftgate handle removal procedures, see REMOVAL .

The glove box lamp/switch (1) is a self-contained set of switches, lamp, and housing assembly that provides illumination into the glove box compartment whenever the glove box door is opened. It is located behind the glove box door at the top of the liner, just to the left of the latch striker.

OPERATION - GLOVE BOX LAMP/SWITCH

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 .
