Decklid Ajar Indicator Not Operating

  1. Ensure decklid is properly aligned and completely closed. Turn ignition on. If decklid ajar indicator illuminates, go to next step. If decklid ajar indicator does not illuminate, go to step  4 .
  2. Turn ignition off. Disconnect decklid release solenoid/ajar switch harness connector. Turn ignition on. If decklid ajar indicator illuminates, go to next step. If decklid ajar indicator does not illuminate, replace decklid release solenoid/ajar switch.
  3. Turn ignition off. Disconnect instrument cluster harness connector C2. Measure resistance between ground and terminal No. 9 (Tan/Black wire) at instrument cluster harness connector C2. See Figure . If resistance is greater than 5 ohms, replace instrument cluster. If resistance is 5 ohms or less, repair short to ground in Tan/Black wire between instrument cluster and decklid release solenoid/ajar switch.
  4. Open decklid. If decklid ajar indicator does not illuminate, go to next step. If decklid ajar indicator illuminates, problem is intermittent.
  5. Turn ignition off. Disconnect decklid release solenoid/ajar switch harness connector. Using a fused jumper wire, ground terminal No. 2 (Tan/Black wire) at decklid release solenoid/ajar switch harness connector. Turn ignition on. If decklid ajar indicator does not illuminate, go to next step. If decklid ajar indicator illuminates, replace decklid release solenoid/ajar switch.
  6. Turn ignition off. Disconnect instrument cluster harness connector C2. Measure resistance in Tan/Black wire between terminal No. 2 at decklid release solenoid/ajar switch harness connector and terminal No. 9 at instrument cluster harness connector C2. See Figure . If resistance is 5 ohms or less, go to next step. If resistance is greater than 5 ohms, repair open in Tan/Black wire between instrument cluster and decklid release solenoid/ajar switch.
  7. Turn ignition off. Disconnect instrument cluster harness connector C1. Measure voltage at terminal No. 3 (Pink wire) at instrument cluster harness connector C2. See Figure . If battery voltage exists, replace instrument cluster. If battery voltage does not exist, repair power distribution circuit as necessary. See POWER DISTRIBUTION article in WIRING DIAGRAMS.
