Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Circuit/System Description
Battery positive voltage is applied at all times to both the coil and switch sides of the LT/POS/LP and RT/POS/LP relays located in the rear fuse block. The turn signal/multifunction switch is suppled with ground at G200 at all times. When the headlamp switch is placed in either the HEAD or PARK position, ground is applied to the park lamp signal circuit to the body control module (BCM). The BCM responds by applying ground to the left and right park lamp relay control circuits. This energizes the left and right park lamp relay coils causing the relay switch contacts to close allowing battery voltage to flow through the LT/POS/LP and RT/POS/LP fuses to all of the park, tail, license, and marker lamps.
