Exterior Lights Diagnosis Turn/Hazard/Stop Lamps

Fuses
BRAKE Fuse

Location: Underhood junction block

Type: 15A Minifuse

Feeds: Circuit 540

If the following system is operating, the fuse is most likely good:

If the fuse is blown, determine the cause of the blown fuse and repair.

Replace the fuse as needed.

HAZARD Fuse

Location: Underhood junction block

Type: 10A Minifuse

Feeds: Circuit 1040B

If the following system is operating, the fuse is most likely good:

If the fuse is blown, determine the cause of the blown fuse and repair.

Replace the fuse as needed.

TURN Fuse

Location: Instrument panel junction block

Type: 10A MaxiFuse

Feeds: Circuit 139

If one of the following systems are operating, the fuse is most likely good:

If the fuse is blown, determine the cause of the blown fuse and repair.

Replace the fuse as needed.

Grounds

Before checking the ground circuit from the faulty component all the way to the ground stud, check the circuit from the splice pack to ground by testing some of the other subsystems grounded by the same splice pack. If the other subsystems function properly, it is most likely that the path from the splice pack to ground is good, or at least one of the paths is good with redundantly grounded splice packs.

I/P Splice Pack #1

Location: Taped to I/P harness behind I/P cluster

The systems grounded by I/P Splice Pack #1 are grounded redundantly with I/P Splice Pack #2 at ground point location D, the I/P chassis ground. If one of the following systems is operating normally, the ground circuit is most likely good:

Check for OPENS/SHORTS.

Repair as needed.

I/P Splice Pack #2

Location: Taped to I/P harness behind I/P cluster

The systems grounded by I/P Splice Pack #2 are grounded redundantly with I/P Splice Pack #1 at ground point location C, the chassis ground. If one of the following systems is operating normally the ground circuit is most likely good:

Check for OPENS/SHORTS.

Repair as needed.

Left Rear Body Ground Splice Pack

Location: See the Ground Distribution section in this manual.

The left rear body ground splice pack provides a ground path for the rear body, deck lid, and lift gate harnesses. If one of the following systems is operating normally, the ground circuit is most likely good:

Check for OPENS/SHORTS.

Repair as needed.

Right Forward Lamp Splice Pack

Location: Behind right front headlamp

The right forward lamp splice pack provides a ground path for the right side of the forward lamp harness. If one of the following systems is operating normally, the ground circuit is most likely good:

Check for OPENS/SHORTS.

Repair as needed.
