- Remove the center panel (see CENTER PANEL REMOVAL/INSTALLATION ).
- Push the switch (A) out from the center panel.
- Disconnect the 6P connector (B) from the switch.
- Check for continuity between the terminals in each switch position according to the table.
- If the continuity is not as specified, replace the bulb (C) or the switch.

- Open the tailgate.
- Remove the tailgate lower trim (see TRIM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION - TAILGATE ).
- Disconnect the 2P connector (A) from the latch switch.
- Check for continuity between the No. 1 and No. 2 terminals. With the tailgate open, there should be continuity. With the tailgate closed, there should be no continuity.
- If the continuity is not as specified, replace the tailgate latch switch.

- Carefully pry off the lens (A) with a small screwdriver.
- Remove the four mounting screws (B).
- Disconnect the 3P connector (C) from the housing (D).
- Check for continuity between the terminals in each switch position according to the table.
- If the continuity is not as specified, check the bulb(s). If the bulb(s) are OK, replace the light.

- Carefully pry off the lens (A) with a small screwdriver.
- Remove the mounting screw (6).
- Disconnect the 3P connector (C) from the housing (D).
- Check for continuity between the terminals in each switch position according to the table.
- If the continuity is not as specified check the bulb. If the bulb is OK, replace the light.

- Turn the light switch OFF.
- Carefully pry off the lens (A) with a small screwdriver.
- Remove the two mounting screws (6) and the housing (C).
- Disconnect the 3P connector (D) from the housing.
- Check for continuity between the terminals in each switch position according to the table.
- If the continuity is not as specified check the bulb. If the bulb is OK, replace the light.

- Before testing the entry light control functions, troubleshoot the multiplex control system (see TROUBLESHOOTING ). Driver's Multiplex Control Unit
- Remove the driver's multiplex control unit from the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box.
- Inspect the connector and socket terminals to be sure they are all making good contact. If the terminals are bent, loose or corroded, repair them as necessary, and recheck the system. If the terminals look OK, go to step 4.
- With the driver's unit still disconnected, make these input tests at the connector and fuse/relay box socket. If any test indicates a problem, find and correct the cause, then recheck the system. If all the input tests prove OK, go to step 5.
- Reconnect the driver's multiplex control unit to the fuse/relay box, and perform the following input tests at the appropriate connectors on the back of the fuse/relay box. If any test indicates a problem, find and correct the cause, then recheck the system. If all the input tests prove OK, go to step 6. Passenger's Multiplex Control Unit
- Remove the passenger's multiplex control unit from the passenger's under-dash fuse/relay box, and disconnect its connector.
- Inspect the connector and socket terminals to be sure they are all making good contact. If the terminals are bent, loose or corroded, repair them as necessary, and recheck the system. If the terminals look OK, go to step 8.
- With the control unit still disconnected, make these input tests at the connector and fuse/relay box socket. If any test indicates a problem, find and correct the cause, then recheck the system. If all the input tests prove OK, go to step 9.
- Reconnect the passenger's multiplex control unit to the fuse/relay box, and perform the following input tests at the appropriate connectors on the back of the fuse/relay box. If any test indicates a problem, find and correct the cause, then recheck the system. If all the input tests prove OK, go to step 10. Door Multiplex Control Unit
- Remove the driver's door panel and disconnect the 20P connector A from the door multiplex control unit.
- Inspect all connector and socket terminals to be sure they are making good contact. If the terminals are bent, loose or corroded, repair them as necessary, and recheck the system. If the terminals look OK, go to step 12.
- Reconnect the connectors to the door unit, and make the input test at the connector. If a test indicates a problem, find and correct the cause, then recheck the system. If the input test proves OK, go to step 13.
- If all the input tests prove OK, one of the control units must be faulty. Substitute a known-good control unit for the one that is most likely at fault, then recheck the system. If the system works properly, the original control unit is faulty; replace it. If there is still a malfunction, substitute a known-good control unit for the next unit most likely to be at fault, and recheck. If the system works properly, the original unit is faulty; replace it.
