Interior Lamps

Voltage is applied at all times through the CTSY Fuse to the Multi-function Alarm Module, and the Interior Lights. Voltage is also applied in RUN, BULB TEST or START through the GAGES Fuse to the Multi-function Alarm Module.

The Front Door Handle Switches turn on the Interior Lights through the Multi-function Alarm Module. When either front door handle is raised or door is opened, its Front Door Handle Switch closes to ground an input to the module. The module then grounds the Interior Lights to turn them on.

The Dome Light Switch also turns on the Interior Lights, independent of the door switches or the Multi-function Alarm Module.

An Interior Lights-on delay is provided by the Multi-function Alarm Module after a front door has been opened. The lights remain on for about 40 seconds, or until the Ignition Switch is turned to RUN. This 40 second delay is reduced to 4 seconds if a front door is opened within 2 minutes after the Ignition Switch is moved from the RUN, START, or BULB TEST position.
