  1. Ignition/vehicle off, disconnect the appropriate connector at the component responsible for controlling the inoperative lamp.
  2. Connect a 3 A fused jumper wire between the control circuit terminal and B+.
  3. Verify the appropriate interior lamp(s) turn on and off when connecting and disconnecting the jumper wire. ⇒ If an interior lamp is always off and the jumper fuse is OK. 3.1. Test the appropriate ground circuit at the lamp for an open/high resistance. ⇒ If an open/high resistance is found, repair the fault on the circuit or ground connection. ⇓ If an open/high resistance is not found. 3.2. Test the appropriate control circuit for an open/high resistance. ⇒ If an open/high resistance is found, repair the fault on the circuit. ⇓ If an open/high resistance is not found. 3.3. Replace the appropriate interior lamp. ⇒ If an interior lamp is always off and the jumper fuse is open 3.1. Test the appropriate circuit for a short to ground. ⇒ If a short to ground is found, repair the fault on the circuit. ⇓ If a short to ground is not found. 3.2. Replace the appropriate interior lamp. ⇒ If an accent lamp is always on 3.1. Test the appropriate circuit for a short to voltage. ⇒ If a short to voltage is found, repair the fault on the circuit. ⇓ If a short to voltage is not found. 3.2. Replace the appropriate interior lamp. ⇓ If the interior lamp(s) turn on and off
  4. Replace the component responsible for controlling the interior lamp. Repair Instructions Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the repair. Lighting Component Replacement Reference Control Module References for BCM replacement, programming, and setup
