Interior Light Test 6A - Key-In Light Inoperative
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1996 Plymouth Breeze, 1996 Dodge Stratus, and 1996 Chrysler Cirrus. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
Perform INTERIOR LIGHT TEST 1A before proceeding with this test. For connector terminal identification and wiring diagrams, see CONNECTOR IDENTIFICATION section in this article. Perform VERIFICATION TEST VER-1A after each repair.
CAUTION:
Always turn ignition switch to OFF position prior to disconnecting or connecting any module connector.
- Turn ignition off. Close all doors and wait one minute. Open and close left front door while watching key-in light. If key-in light comes on and then, after 30 seconds, goes off, system is operating properly. If key-in light does not operate as described and courtesy lights do not come on, open left front door. If courtesy lights still do not illuminate, go to DOOR AJAR TEST 3A. If key-in light does not operate as described and courtesy lights do come on when left front door is opened, go to next step.
- Turn ignition on. Using scan tool, actuate key-in light. If key-in light does not flash on and off, go to next step. If key-in light flashes on and off, replace BCM.
- Stop key-in light actuation and remove key-in bulb. See appropriate STEERING COLUMN SWITCHES article. Inspect key-in bulb and socket. If key-in bulb and socket are okay, go to next step. If key-in bulb is open or socket is damaged, repair socket or replace bulb as necessary.
- Install key-in bulb. Disconnect key-in light 2-pin connector and ensure connector is clean and not damaged. Using external voltmeter, measure voltage on key-in light 2-pin connector terminal No. 1 (Pink/White wire). If voltage is more than 10 volts, go to next step. If voltage is 10 volts or less, repair open Pink/White wire between fuse No. 5 and key-in light connector.
- Reconnect key-in light 2-pin connector. Disconnect instrument panel 10-pin connector at BCM. Ensure connector is clean and not damaged. Using external voltmeter, measure voltage on instrument panel 10-pin connector terminal No. 7 (Yellow/Red wire). If voltage is more than 10 volts, replace BCM. If voltage is 10 volts or less, repair open in Yellow/Red wire between BCM and key-in light.
