Normal Operation
Ground for the ajar switches is provided through circuit 1205 (BK). When any door or decklid/liftgate is ajar, the ground circuit to the smart junction box (SJB) is interrupted. The open circuit signals the SJB to illuminate the interior lamps. Also, the dimmer control switch provides an input to the SJB to request interior lamps. Circuit 1404 (YE) is monitored by the SJB, when this circuit is grounded, it signals the SJB to illuminate the interior lamps. The SJB provides voltage to the individual lamps through circuit 53 (BK/LB).

Possible Causes
- Circuit 53 (BK/LB) short to voltage
- Circuit 700 (WH/VT) open
- Circuit 1312 (LG/BK) open
- Circuit 1314 (YE/LG) open
- Circuit 1404 (YE) short to ground
- Circuit 1742 (VT/LG) open
- Circuit 1754 (RD) open
- Door ajar switch
- Dimmer control switch
- SJB
