Courtesy Lights Totally Inoperative
NOTE:
After making any repairs, perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST under VERIFICATION TESTS. Unless instructed otherwise in test step, reconnect any disconnected connectors.
- Remove dome light lens. Remove and inspect dome light bulb. Replace bulb if necessary. Open any door. Using a voltmeter, check voltage on dome light connector fused B+ circuit (Pink wire). If voltage is more than 10 volts, reinstall dome light bulb and go to next step. If voltage is 10 volts or less, repair open Pink wire.
- Disconnect instrument cluster connector. Instrument cluster connector is a 26-pin Black connector, located behind left upper instrument panel. Connect a jumper wire between ground and instrument cluster connector terminal No. 3, courtesy light control circuit (Yellow wire). See Figure. If dome light illuminates, replace instrument cluster. See ANALOG INSTRUMENT PANELS - NEON article. If dome light does not illuminate, leave jumper wire connected, instrument panel connector disconnected and go to next step.
- Remove dome light lens. Remove dome light bulb. Using an ohmmeter, check resistance between ground and dome light connector courtesy light control circuit (Yellow wire). If resistance is less than 5 ohms, test is complete. If resistance is 5 ohms or more, repair open Yellow wire.
