Interior Lamps

Voltage is applied at all times to the I/P Compartment Lamp through the CTSY Fuse. When the I/P Compartment Door is opened, the I/P Compartment Lamp is grounded and turns "ON."

Voltage is applied to the Overhead Console, Front and Rear Dome Lamps, Stepwell Lamp, and Cargo Lamps through the CTSY fuse. When the Interior Lamp Switch is in "DOOR," these lamps can be grounded by the Front Door Jamb Switches, Sliding Door Jamb Switch, or Liftgate Ajar Indicator Switches. Also turning the Headlamp/I/P Dimmer Switch to "INT" will ground the Interior Lights.

With the Interior Lamp Switch in the "OFF" position, the Interior Lamps can only be controlled through Headlamp/I/P Switch.

With Remote Keyless Entry
Interior lamps will illuminate if a remote unlock occurs. The interior lamps will remain on for 40 seconds or until:
^ A remote lock command occurs - At this time the interior lamps will immediately turn off.
^ The driver's door is opened then closed - the Interior Lamps will remain on for an additional ten seconds or until the vehicle's ignition switch is turned to the "RUN" Position. The Interior Lamps will then "dim-to-off."
^ A door or liftgate other then the driver's door is opened then closed - The Interior Lamps will then immediately "dim-to-off."

Interior lighting operation is influenced by the Interior Lamp Switch. If the switch is in the "OFF" position, the Interior Lamps will only operate from Headlamp/I/P Dimmer Switch and will inhibit the "dim-to-off" feature.
