8W - 44 - 8
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (Continued)
Ground for the lamps is supplied on circuit M2.
This circuit connects from the lamps to the illumi-
nated entry relay located in the junction block.
The Body Control Module (BCM) controls the oper-
ation of the relay on circuit M112. When the relay is
energized, the contacts in the relay CLOSE connect-
ing circuits M2 and Z1. This completes the ground
path for the lamps. The Z1 circuit terminates at the
instrument panel left side cowl.
OVERHEAD MAP LAMPS
The overhead map lamps are powered by the 10
amp fuse located in the junction block on the M1 cir-
cuit. This fuse is the Ignition-Off Draw (IOD) fuse
and is located in cavity 5. This circuit is HOT at all
times.
Ground for the lamps is supplied on two different
circuits. One way is when the operator turns the
lamp ON by CLOSING the switch. A ground path is
completed on circuit Z1. This ground terminates at
the instrument panel left side cowl.
Ground for the lamp(s) can also be supplied on cir-
cuit M2 when the Body Control Module (BCM) sup-
plies a ground path for the illuminated entry relay.
GLOVE BOX LAMP
The glove box lamp is powered by the 10 amp fuse
located in the junction block on the M1 circuit. This
is the Ignition-Off Draw (IOD) fuse and is located in
cavity 5. This circuit is HOT at all times.
The glove box switch is normally OPEN. When the
operator opens the glove box door the switch
CLOSES completing a path to ground through the
switch and the lamp on circuit Z1. This ground ter-
minates at the instrument panel left side cowl.
ASH RECEIVER LAMP
The ash receiver lamp receives power on the E2
circuit from the Body Control Module (BCM). This
8W - 44 INTERIOR LIGHTING
circuit is HOT when the operator has turned the
headlamp switch to the PARK or ON position. Lamp
intensity is controlled by the input of the dimmer
switch to the BCM on circuit E19.
Ground for the lamp is provided by the Z1 circuit.
This circuit terminates at the instrument panel left
side cowl after passing through the ground joint in
the junction block.
PRNDL ILLUMINATION
Power for the PRNDL illumination diode is sup-
plied on circuit E2. This circuit is controlled by the
Body Control Module (BCM) based on input from the
headlamp dimmer switch on circuit E19.
Ground for the diode is supplied on circuit Z1. This
ground terminates at the left side cowl.
TRUNK LAMP
The trunk lamp uses a switch located in the trunk
latch which is case grounded. The switch is normally
OPEN. When the trunk is opened, the switch
CLOSES, completing a path to ground on circuit
G78. The M1 circuit provides power to the lamp, and
is HOT at all times.
Circuit G78 is spliced and provides an input to the
instrument cluster indicating the trunk is ajar.
HELPFUL INFORMATION
Check the 10 amp fuse located in cavity 5 of the
PDC.
Check for a good ground located at the instrument
panel left side cowl.
Check the door switches for a good ground.
Check the illuminated entry relay located in the
junction block.
