  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the (C4) harness connector at the BCM.
  2. Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal 2 and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal and the B+ circuit fuse is open, test the supply voltage circuits listed below for a short to ground.
      • Courtesy lamp supply voltage terminal 5 C2
      • Courtesy lamp supply voltage terminal 1 C6
  3. Ignition OFF, connect the (C4) harness connector at the BCM.
