DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (Continued)
HELPFUL INFORMATION
• Check for a blown 40 amp fuse located in cavity
15 of the PDC.
• Check for a blown 20 amp fuse located in cavity
7 of the junction block.
• For the left front lamps check the grounding
point at the left strut tower.
• For the right front lamps check the grounding
point at the right frame rail.
HEADLAMP LEVELING MOTORS
Power fort the headlamp leveling switch is sup-
plied from the headlamp switch on circuit L7. This
circuit is HOT when the headlamp switch is in the
PARK or ON position. This circuit provides power to
the parking lamps. Ground for the switch is supplied
on circuit Z1.
The L7 circuit also supplies power to the headlamp
leveling motors. Ground for the headlamp leveling
motors is supplied on circuit Z3.
Circuit L13 connects from the headlamp leveling
motors to the switch. This circuit is used to provide
power or ground to the motors depending on switch
position.
FOG LAMPS
The fog lamps operate only when the headlamp
switch is in the ON position and the operator has
selected LOW-beam operation. When the headlamps
are in HIGH-beam mode, the fog lamps will not oper-
ate.
When the operator tunrs the fog lamps switch ON
circuit L44 is connected to circuit L39. The L44 cir-
cuit is protected by a 20 amp fuse located in cavity
13 of the junction block, and powers the LOW beam
headlamps.
Circuit L39 connects from the switch to the fog
lamps.
Ground for the lamps is different for the left and
right lamps. For the right fog lamp, the ground is
provided on circuit Z1 and terminates at the right
frame rail. For the left fog lamp, the ground is pro-
vided on circuit Z1 and terminates at the left strut
tower.
HELPFUL INFORMATION
• Check for a blown 40 amp fuse in cavity 14, and
15 of the PDC. If this fuse is blown the headlamps
will not operate.
• Check for a blown 20 amp fuse in cavity 10 of
the junction block. If this fuse is blown the right low-
beam headlamp will not operate.
• Check for a good ground at the right frame rail
for the right fog lamp.
• Check for a good ground at the left strut tower
for the left fog lamp.
8W - 50 FRONT LIGHTING
HEADLAMP DELAY
The headlamp delay uses a relay located in the
junction block. Power for the relay is supplied on cir-
cuit A3. This circuit powers the coil and contact sides
of the relay and is protected by a 40 amp fuse located
in the Power Distribution Center (PDC) cavity 15.
The relay is activated by the operator turning OFF
the ignition with the headlamps ON. The Body Con-
trol Module (BCM) controls the ground for the coil
side of the relay and the amount of time the head-
lamps stay ON. Circuit G50 connects the coil side of
the relay to the BCM.
When the relay is energized, the contacts in the
relay CLOSE connecting circuits A3 and L4. Circuit
L4 is used to power the fuses used for low-beam
headlamp operation.
