Courtesy Lamps Manual Operation

The courtesy lamps, may be manually operated by the interior lamp switch. When the interior lamp switch is placed in the ON position the BCM receives a ON input. Upon receiving the interior lamps ON input the BCM then energizes the Delayed Interior Lamps relay (DIL) and the interior lamps relay, which illuminates the courtesy lamps. The courtesy lamps will also illuminate when a restraint system has been activated. The courtesy lamps can be turned ON for ten minutes after the ignition key is removed with the doors closed, by using the interior lamp switch. The interior lamp switch will override any BCM operation of the interior lamps, such as entry illumination.
