With the headlamp and panel dimmer switch in the park or head position, a variable voltage is supplied out of the headlamp and panel (IP) dimmer switch via CKT 44 (DK GRN). The voltage output of the IP dimmer goes through the ILLUM fuse via CKT 8 (GRY) and travels to the following modules:

    • Radio
    • Instrument cluster
    • Heater and A/C control module
    • Rear window/wiper switch
    • Overhead console
    • Rear heater switch
    • Rear A/C switch

The output (variable) of CKT 44 (DK GRN) determines the level of brightness to the modules listed above.

There is an 8 CKT (GRY) that travels to the body control module (BCM), which is an input to a dimming rheostat. The output is an LED dimming signal CKT 1382 (PPL/WHT) which controls the following modules lighting intensity:

    • Radio (front)
    • Radio (rear)
    • Overhead console

Some circuits are monitored by the BCM, and upon failure may set a DTC.
