Courtesy Lamp Defeat Switch

DESCRIPTION





With the courtesy lamp defeat switch in the "O" position (1), the courtesy lamps are prevented from illuminating when the doors are opened. With the courtesy lamp defeat switch in the "-" position, the courtesy lamps illuminate when the doors are opened, then fade to off approximately 8 seconds after the last door is closed (unless the courtesy lamp switch is depressed). If a door remains unclosed, the lamps will remain on for approximately 5 minutes. At this time the Body Control Module will interrupt the ground path to conserve battery power. The courtesy lamp defeat switch is an integrated part of the courtesy lamp unit assembly and cannot be adjusted or repaired. If faulty, worn, or damaged, the entire assembly must be replaced. For complete courtesy lamp unit removal procedures, refer to Courtesy Lamp Unit removal.
