Subject:Cargo Lamp Indicator Turns on Briefly When Dome/glove Box Lamp is Activated

Models:.



When servicing the vehicle with the VIN you entered, the following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the described symptoms.

Condition/Concern:

A customer may comment that the cargo lamp indicator turns on briefly when the dome or glove box lamps are turned on.

Recommendation/Instructions:

To correct this back feed from ckt 149 to ckt 1732, a diode must be installed in ckt 149. On full size trucks, use SI doc ID number 870692 and install diode part number 12112422 in ckt 149 between the cargo lamp and I/P Relay Block C3 terminal "D". On Avalanche and Escalade EXT, use SI doc ID number 1247803 and install diode part number 12112422 in ckt 149 at connector C390. Connector 390 is located on the right side of the right rear window latch, behind the rear upper garnish molding (See Document id: 803557) (Note: the diode must go between the 2 wires from the cargo lamp and the 2 wires to the switch and TBCM.)

Additional Note: Install the diode so the silver band on the diode is towards the TBCM reference voltage side.
