Normal Operation
The driver door module (DDM) monitors the door ajar switch status for each door. When a door is open, the DDM signals the lighting control module (LCM) to supply power to the interior lamps. The interior lamps are powered through circuit 53 (BK/LB). The LCM also monitors the dome lamp switch status from the headlamp switch through circuit 1034 (BK/WH). When the LCM recognizes that the dome lamps have been requested, the LCM supplies power to the interior lamps on circuit 53 (BK/LB).

Possible Causes
- Circuit 53 (BK/LB) short to voltage
- Circuit 627 (BK/OG) short to ground
- Circuit 867 (DB) short to ground
- Circuit 1034 (BK/WH) short to ground
- Door ajar switch(es)
- Headlamp switch
- DDM
- LCM
