The second ground path is through the headlamp
switch. Circuit M23 is spliced in with the time out
relay. When the operator turns the headlamp switch
to the dome lamp ON position, a ground path is pro-
vided through the switch on the Z1 circuit. This
ground terminates at the instrument panel left cen-
ter support.
On vehicles equipped with Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) the M23 circuit is spliced to the RKE module.
This allows the lamp to be turned ON when a valid
signal is reveived by the RKE module from the trans-
mitter.
MAP/READING LAMPS
The map/reading lamps are powered by the M1 cir-
cuit from the Power Distribution Center (PDC). This
circuit is the Ignition-Off Draw circuit and protected
by a 10 amp fuse. The M1 circuit is spliced and pro-
vides power for the visor/vanity lamps, radio, power
mirrors, dome lamp, time delay relay, and other inte-
rior lamps.
Ground for the lamps is provided from two sources.
One is the Z3 circuit which is spliced in with the
glove box lamp and terminates at the instrument
panel left center support. The second ground is pro-
vided on circuit M23. This circuit is spliced in with
the time out relay so the lamps will turn ON when
any door is OPENED.
On vehicles equipped with Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) the M23 circuit, which is the ground circuit
when a door is OPENED, is connected to the RKE
module. The module will provide a ground path for
the lamps with a valid signal from the transmitter.
GLOVE BOX LAMP
The glove box lamp receives power on the M1 cir-
cuit from the 10 amp fuse located in the Power Dis-
tribution Center (PDC). A switch, wired in series
after the lamp, CLOSES when the glove box door is
opened, and completes a path to ground on the Z3
circuit.
The Z3 circuit is spliced in with the ash receiver
lamp, PRNDL lamp, and the time delay relay. The Z3
circuit terminates at the instrument panel left center
support.
ASH RECEIVER LAMP
The ash receiver lamp receives power on the E2
circuit from the 4 amp fuse located in the fuse block
in cavity 12. The fuse receives power from the head-
lamp switch. Circuit E2, which is HOT at all times,
also
powers the Transmission Range Indicator
(PRNDL) lamp.
When the headlamp switch is moved to the PARK
or ON position, current flows through the fuse to the
ash receiver lamp. The ground for the lamp is sup-
plied on the Z3 circuit, and terminates at the instru-
ment panel left center support. This circuit is also
spliced in with the PRNDL lamp, the ignition switch
lamp, and the glove box lamp.
UNDERHOOD LAMP
Power for the underhood lamp is supplied on cir-
cuit M1. This is the Ignition-Off Draw (IOD) circuit
and is protected by a 10 amp fuse located in the
Power Distribution Center (PDC).
When the hood is raised a ground path is com-
pleted through the mercury switch to a case ground
illuminating the lamp.
TRUNK LAMP
The trunk lamp uses a case-grounded switch
located on the trunk latch. The switch is normally
OPEN. When the deck lid is opened, the switch
CLOSES, completing a path to ground on circuit M4.
The M1 circuit provides power to the lamp, and is
HOT at all times.
HELPFUL INFORMATION
•
Check the 10 amp fuse located in the Power Dis-
tribution Center (PDC) for the trunk lamp, under-
hood lamp, visor/vanity lamps, dome lamp, time
delay relay, and the glove box lamp.
•
Check for a good ground at the instrument panel
left center support.
•
Check the door switches for a good ground.
•
Check the 4 amp fuse in the fuse block, cavity
12.
