Why dose our insturment panel lights stay on - Cars & Trucks

Your vehicle has no BCM ! Which interior lights ? dome , courtesy , insturment panel ? Dimable light's ? Stuck door switch ! Find a wiring diagram at http://bbbind.com/free_tsb.html ! Do you know how to do basic automotive electrical testing ? Videos on youtube . The wiring diagram is showing a dome courtesy lamp relay , if the contact's were stuck closed the light's would stay on . But there is no BCM .

Have you checked wiring harnesses that attach to cluster ?
Also check main ground wires that are part of the cluster.

The door actuator ,door ajar switch has nothing to do with the Gear Indicator Light on Cluster . Did you have the BCM programmed ? Can't just replace this without programming . Having the BCM check for DTC'S - diagnostic trouble codes should have been the first step in the diagnostic's for this problem an testing power an grounds . Is the door ajar light lit on the insturment cluster ? If not ,it's not a door actuator or door ajar switch .

Important: Perform new BCM setup when you replace Body Control Module (BCM). Refer to Body Control Module (BCM) Programming/RPO Configuration .
Fuse Block
Right side of the IP, in the right front door opening
RAP relay ,contacts stuck closed . Right I/P fuse box ! Open the passenger door ,at the end of insturment panel pull plastic cover !

dont quote me but i think you may need a new dash unit .its all electronic and its thrown a wobbly

Your voltage meter will be located in with your insturment panel, If you don,t have a voltage guage, There will be a idiot light that stays on while you are opperateing the vehicle,To let you no that there is a problem with the chargeing system,Hope this helps you out, Have anouther (Beer) LOL:

You need the help of a dealer or you need to purchase a factory repair manual set. Simple as that.

Ey sounds like you have a bad alternator so you should test to see if the alternator is still good or bad by let the engine running then pop the hood opened and disconnected the ground cable off from the battery terminal so when you do that and if the engine dies then you have bad alternator but if the engine still running after disconnect then your alternator is still good

The most inexpensive method is to us CRC contact clear to clean the contacts on the buckle.

WARNING: this is a strong chemical and it will emit odor and stain carpet and leather.
