Position Lamps

The position lamps are on export vehicles only. Each lamp is located in the headlamp assembly. European countries require that side position lamps are activated when the vehicle is parked along the side of the road. The position function operates only when the gear selector is in the PARK position. If the gear selector is not in the PARK position, but the park lamps are on, the position lamps will operate as marker lamps. The front position lamp and respective tail lamp illuminate when the headlamp switch is placed in the left or right position. Battery positive voltage is supplied to the STANDING LP relay coil and switch. Battery positive voltage is supplied through the normally closed relay contacts of the STANDING LP relay switch to each POSN LP relay coil. When the gear selector is in the PARK position, the Dash Integration Module (DIM) grounds the STANDING LP relay coil which removes battery positive voltage from each POSN LP relay coil. The position lamps illuminate only when the ignition switch is in the OFF position. Battery positive voltage is supplied to each POSN LP relay switch. When the headlamp switch is placed in the RH PARK or the LH PARK position, the appropriate POSN LP relay coil is grounded through the headlamp switch contact. Battery positive voltage is then supplied to the appropriate position lamp and the respective tail/stop lamp. Both position lamps have ground at G104.
