Pinpoint Test D: The Puddle Lamps are Inoperative: Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Mercury Montego, 2005 Ford Freestyle, and 2005 Ford Five Hundred. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. D1 CHECK CIRCUIT 2010 (YE/RD) FOR VOLTAGE 
    • Key in OFF position.
    • Disconnect: Memory Mirror (LH) C516 or (RH) C625.
    • Disconnect: Non-Memory Mirror (LH) C522 or (RH) C622.
    • Open any door.
    • Measure the voltage between ground and:
      CONNECTOR PIN REFERENCE

    • Is the voltage greater than 10 volts? 
    • Yes  : INSTALL a new mirror. TEST the system for normal operation.
    • No  : GO to D2.
  2. D2 CHECK CIRCUIT 2010 (YE/RD) FOR AN OPEN 
    • Key in OFF position.
    • Disconnect: Smart Junction Box (SJB) C2280e.
    • Measure the resistance between SJB C2280e-12, circuit 2010 (YE/RD) and:
      CONNECTOR PIN REFERENCE

      Description Connector Circuit
      With Memory Mirrors 
      LH mirror C516-8 2010 (YE/RD)
      RH mirror C625-8 2010 (YE/RD)
      Without Memory Mirrors 
      LH mirror C522-4 2010 (YE/RD)
      RH mirror C622-4 2010 (YE/RD)

    • Is the resistance less than 5 ohms? 
    • Yes  : GO to D3.
    • No  : REPAIR circuit 2010 (YE/RD) for an open. TEST the system for normal operation.
  3. D3 CHECK SJB PINS AND CONNECTORS 
    • Disconnect all SJB module connectors. Check for:
      • corrosion
      • pushed-out pins
    • Connect all SJB module connectors and make sure they seat correctly.
    • Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.
    • Is the concern still present? 
    • Yes  : INSTALL a new SJB. REFER to MULTIFUNCTION ELECTRONIC MODULES . TEST the system for normal operation.
    • No  : The system is operating correctly at this time. Concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector.
