Refer to «BODY VERIFICATION TEST»(ref-457926-S40044966262012030200000) for 1500, 2500 & 3500, or «BODY VERIFICATION TEST»(ref-457927-S20352278932012030200000) for 3500 CAB & CHASSIS, 4500 & 5500. No Go To 4 .
4. CHECK THE (E2) PANEL LAMPS DIMMER SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN Turn the ignition off. Disconnect the Cluster C3 harness connector. Measure the resistance of the (E2) Panel Lamps Dimmer Signal circuit between the Cluster C3 harness connector and the Headlamp Switch harness connector. Is the resistance above 5.0 Ohms? Yes Repair the (E2) Panel Lamps Dimmer Signal circuit for an open. Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to «BODY VERIFICATION TEST»(ref-457926-S40044966262012030200000) for 1500, 2500 & 3500, or «BODY VERIFICATION TEST»(ref-457927-S20352278932012030200000) for 3500 CAB & CHASSIS, 4500 & 5500. No Replace the Cluster in accordance with the Service Information. Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to «BODY VERIFICATION TEST»(ref-457926-S40044966262012030200000) for 1500, 2500 & 3500, or «BODY VERIFICATION TEST»(ref-457927-S20352278932012030200000) for 3500 CAB & CHASSIS, 4500 & 5500.

1. CHECK FOR AN ACTIVE DTC Turn the ignition on. With the scan tool, read DTCs. Does the scan tool display this DTC as active? Yes Go To 2 . No The condition that caused this code to set is not present at this time. Check for an intermittent condition by inspecting the related wiring harness for chafed, pierced, pinched, and partially broken wires. Also inspect the related connectors for broken, bent, pushed out, spread, corroded, or contaminated terminals. Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to «BODY VERIFICATION TEST»(ref-457926-S40044966262012030200000) for 1500, 2500 & 3500, or «BODY VERIFICATION TEST»(ref-457927-S20352278932012030200000) for 3500 CAB & CHASSIS, 4500 & 5500.
2. CENTER HIGH MOUNTED STOP/CARGO LAMP Disconnect the Center High Mounted Stop/Cargo Lamp harness connector. Turn the Cargo Lamp on. Using a test light, measure the voltage across the (L14) Cargo Lamp Driver circuit and (Z905) Ground circuits at the Center High Mounted Stop/Cargo Lamp harness connector. Does the test light illuminate? Yes Replace the Cargo Lamp in accordance with the Service Information. Refer to «LAMP, Cargo , Removal»(ref-457828-S27599651892012030200000) .
