3. Turn the I/P lamp dimmer switch to a high position.

Are all the I/P lamps on?

Go to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems

Go to Step 3

Are all of the instrument panel lamps inoperative?

Go to Step 11

Go to Step 4

Are any of the steering wheel control lamps inoperative?

Go to Step 5

Go to Step 13

Is one steering wheel control switch illuminated?

Go to Step 7

Go to Step 6

1. Remove both steering wheel control switches.
2. Probe the IP lamp dimming supply circuit of each switch with a test lamp connected to ground. Refer to Circuit Testing in Wiring Systems.

Does the test lamp illuminate a each supply circuit?

Go to Step 9

Go to Step 8

1. Remove the inoperative switch.
2. Probe the IP lamp dimming supply circuit of the inoperative switch with a test lamp connected to ground. Refer to Circuit Testing in Wiring Systems.

Does the test lamp illuminate?

Go to Step 9

Go to Step 8

Test for a high resistance or an open in the IP dimming lamp supply circuit. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.

Did you find and correct the condition?

Go to Step 19

Go to Step 14

Test for a high resistance or an open in the IP dimming lamp ground circuit. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.

Did you find and correct the condition?

Go to Step 19

Go to Step 14

1. Disconnect the headlamp switch.
2. Install a fused jumper between the dimming potentiometer reference voltage circuit and the instrument panel lamps dimming control circuit.

Do the instrument panel lamps turn on?

Go to Step 17

Go to Step 18

Inspect the instrument panel lamps dimming control circuit for a short to ground or an open. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.

Did you find and correct the condition?

Go to Step 19

Go to Step 12

Inspect the dimming potentiometer reference voltage circuit for high resistance or an open. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.

Did you find and correct the condition?

Go to Step 19

Go to Step 10

Inspect for a high resistance or an open in the inoperative instrument panel lamp component power supply or the ground circuit. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.

Did you find and correct the condition?

Go to Step 19

Go to Step 16

Inspect for a poor connection at the harness connector of the steering wheel control switches. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems.

Did you find and correct the condition?

Go to Step 19

Go to Step 15

Replace the Inoperative switch. Refer to Steering Wheel Control Switches Replacement in Entertainment.

Did you complete the repair?
