  2. Remove the two mounting bolts.
  3. Disconnect the 10P connector (B) from the rear individual map light (C).
  4. Inspect the connector and socket terminals to be sure they are all making good contact.
    • If the terminals are bent, loose or corroded, repair them as necessary, and recheck the system.
    • If the terminals look OK, go to step 5.
  5. With the connector still disconnected, do the following input tests:
    • If any test indicates a problem, find and correct the cause, then recheck the system.
    • If all the input tests prove OK, go to step 6.
    Cavity Wire Test condition Test: Desired result Possible cause if desired result is not obtained
    5 LT GRN Disconnect driver's under-dash fuse/relay box connector P (20P) Check for continuity between terminal No. 5 and driver's under-dash fuse/relay box connector P (20P) connector terminal No. 4: There should be continuity. An open or high resistance in the wire
    6 ORN Disconnect driver's under-dash fuse/relay box connector Q (20P) Check for continuity between terminal No. 6 and driver's under-dash fuse/relay box connector Q (20P) connector terminal No. 4: There should be continuity. An open or high resistance in the wire
    8 GRN Disconnect the roof console 20P connector Check for continuity between terminal No. 8 and roof console 20P connector terminal No. 8: There should be continuity. An open in the wire
    9 YEL Disconnect the roof console 20P connector Check for continuity between terminal No. 9 and roof console 20P connector terminal No. 9: There should be continuity. An open in the wire
    2 RED Disconnect the gauge control module 32P connector Check for continuity between terminal No. 2 and gauge control module 32P connector terminal No. 8: There should be continuity. An open or high resistance in the wire
  6. Reconnect the connector to the rear individual map light, and do the following input tests:
    • If any test indicates a problem, find and correct the cause, then recheck the system.
    • If all the input tests prove OK, the rear individual map light must be faulty; replace it.
    Cavity Wire Test condition Test: Desired result Possible cause if desired result is not obtained
    3 LT BLU Under all conditions Measure the voltage to ground: There should be battery voltage.
    • Blown No. 16 (7.5 A) fuse in the under-hood fuse/relay box
    • An open or high resistance in the wire
    4 BLK In all ignition switch positions or all power modes Measure the voltage to ground: There should be less than 0.2 V.
    • Poor ground(G401)
    • An open or high resistance in the ground wire
    1 GRY Combination light switch (PARKING position) ON Measure the voltage to ground: There should be battery voltage.
    • Blown No. 6 (7.5 A) fuse in the passenger's under-dash fuse/relay box
