DESCRIPTION
Some vehicles door key cylinder light and/or ignition switch light may not illuminate when the door handle is activated. This may be caused by a faulty harness or the CPU (located behind the main fuse box). Refer to Fig. 1.
The door switch harness has been changed to eliminate this problem.
Customers complaining of this condition should have the vehicle inspected and repaired according to the instructions in this bulletin.
WARNING:
IF THE CPU IS CHANGED FOR ANY REASON (i.e. alarm system malfunction, rear defroster not working, etc.) THE DOOR SWITCH HARNESS MUST ALSO BE CHANGED. FAILURE TO CHANGE ThE HARNESS MAY LEAD TO ADDITIONAL CPU FAILURE.
REPAIR PROCEDURE

^ If the ignition switch light illuminates, the problem is isolated to the door switch harness and only the harness requires replacement. Proceed to step 3.
