Interior lights and the power door locks are controlled by a electronic control module . Hooking up a factory or some other type professional scan tool an checking for codes an viewing input data to these control modules would be the first thing to do.
The interior lighting system consists of the following:
lighting control module (LCM)
driver door module (DDM)
instrument panel
dome/map combination
courtesy/reading lamps
orientation light
door lamps
footwell lamps
luggage compartment lamp
glove compartment lamp
vanity mirrors
door ajar switches
viewing wiring diagrams an checking power and ground circuits for these modules would be the next step if no codes were found . Principles of Operation
Lighting Control Module
This vehicle uses a lighting control module (LCM). The LCM is a microprocessor-based module that controls several vehicle subsystems, responds to electrical input signals from various switches, sensors, and external modules and is located on the LH side of the instrument panel. LCM subsystem functions include:
headlamps with autolamps
turn signal lamps/hazard flasher lamps
cornering lamps
parking lamps
daytime running lamps
interior lamps
demand lamps
battery saver
The LCM interfaces with the driver door module (DDM) via the standard corporate protocol (SCP) network for the illuminated entry feature.
The interior lamp is illuminated by pressing the individual interior lamp switch. The interior lamp is also illuminated by door ajar switches located in the door latches, when any door is opened. A theater lighting feature gradually increases or decreases the light intensity when switched by opening or closing a door.
The dome/map lamp combination are located on each side of the interior lamp. The map lamps are operated independently of the interior lamp by two switches located on the interior lamps.
The interior lamps are illuminated by holding the panel dim switch in the UP position until the dome lamps turn on. The interior lamp also illuminates when a door is opened and actuates the door ajar warning lamp switch in the door latch.
The front map lamps are powered by the demand lighting circuit and the interior lighting circuit.
The rear passenger reading lamps are incorporated into the rear seat assist handle and are located over the rear door openings. These lamps are illuminated through power supplied by the LCM demand lighting circuit.
Interior lamps (controlled by the LCM) are activated by using the dome lamp switch (instant ON/OFF response) or when a door is ajar. The following lamps illuminate for interior lighting:
instrument panel interior lamps
front map lamps
rear reading lamps
door lamps
Demand lighting includes lamps that are illuminated by the customer by directly actuating a switch. The front dome/map lamps are located in the overhead console. Each lamp is controlled by its own switch.
The following demand lamps are powered by the demand lighting output of the LCM:
glove compartment lamp
vanity mirror lamp
luggage compartment lamp
Each lamp has a dedicated switch that closes to ground to illuminate the lamp.
The front map lamps are powered by either the demand lighting circuit or the interior lighting circuit, depending upon the position of the switch associated with each lamp. When the customer turns the front map lamp switch ON, the front map lamp is illuminated through power supplied by the LCM demand lighting circuit. If the customer moves the map lamp switch to the OFF position, the power from the LCM demand lighting circuit is interrupted and the lamp is reconnected to the interior lighting circuit.
The rear reading lamps are powered by either the interior lighting circuit or the demand lighting circuit.
The luggage compartment lamp is controlled by the trunk ajar switch, and is powered by the demand lighting output from the LCM, and is mounted near the center of the upper rear panel.
The glove compartment lamp system consists of a glove compartment lamp switch and wire and miniature bulb assembly. Opening the glove compartment door closes the switch which provides power to the glove compartment lamp switch and wire. The glove compartment lamp switch is grounded to the body sheet metal.
The vanity mirror lamp system consists of a switch and bulb assembly in the RH inside visor and the LH inside visor. Lifting the vanity mirror cover closes the vanity mirror lamp switch and provides power to the lamps.
The illuminated entry system is controlled by the LCM and provides interior lighting upon entry to the vehicle.
Interior lamps will be illuminated for 25 (±1) seconds which includes a theater lighting ramp-up time (0.5 seconds). This time interval does not include the theater lighting ramp-down time. Interior lamps will be turned off before the 25 (±1)-second timeout if the ignition switch is turned to the RUN or ACC position.
The illuminated entry system has the following additions to accommodate the remote entry system: pressing the unlock button on the remote transmitter will activate the illuminated entry system (with theater ramp-up). When the driver door module detects a button press, it sends a signal on the J1850 communication network activating the interior lamps. The lighting control module will turn off the lamps by sensing the all doors lock signal.
The battery saver feature prevents excessive drain from loads inadvertently left on. When the ignition switch is turned OFF, power is interrupted to the interior lamps and headlamps (after a 10-minute timeout) and the demand lamps (after a 30-minute timeout).
The battery saver has the following inputs:
follow this steps and fix it. God bless you Light Socket
The light socket can get corroded or a wire connection can come loose. You will need to remove the front panel to access the housing on most dryers.
Door Switch
If your dryer has an interior light, it probably uses a standard 40-watt
appliance bulb, but check your owner's manual to be sure. If the bulb
is good but the light won't come on, check the door switch, which serves
two functions: When the door is closed, it turns off the light and
allows the dryer to start. When the door is open, it turns on the light
and prevents the dryer from starting. To check the door switch check
for continuity. You should have some when the door is closed and none
when the door is opened.If not replace the door switch by removing the front panel.
It blows fuses or trips the circuit breaker
Electric dryers use 220 volts or two power lines of 110 volts each. Some
components in the dryer need only 110 volts; the heating element
requires 220 volts. So it's possible for one part of the dryer to be
fine and another part to have a short circuit. Short circuits can be
caused by the heating element, the main power cord, or any other part of
the internal wiring. Loose connections on the power cord cause failures
and or fires. This can be checked with the dryer unplugged and removing
the service cover and visually check for burning and mechanically check
for tightness.
If the circuit breaker trips or the fuse blows when the dryer is
unplugged, it's likely the problem is with the house wiring, fuse box,
or circuit box. Contact a qualified electrician.
The fuse for the turn signals is located in the interior fuse panel, usually located under the dash on the drivers side although it may be behind a panel on the side of the dash on the drivers side that you can access when the door is open. The flasher relay is located on or near that fuse panel as well. There is only 1 fuse for the turn signals so if you have some of them but not all of them it's not the fuse. It may still be the relay but I doubt it. That bulb may not look burned but it most likely is. that fast blinking on the right rear is an indicator that the front bulb is burned or not functioning. It is an indicator dodge built into there lighting systems. Replace the bulb, if that doesn't resolve the problem start check the wiring and look for a grounded wire.
The interior map lamps are powered buy the battery saver relay ( non serviceable relay ) Which is powered by Fuse #25 ( cab fuse panel ). This is for the engine compartment and illuminated vanity lamps, as well as the map lights.
The FET ( Field-Effect Transistor ) shows the fuse #9 also on it. ( marked interior lighting ), which power the interior lamps ( door / switch ).
Could be a few things if both those fuses are OK.
1. The map / interior lamp combos are usually dual element bulbs, which means if the interior lamps ( door or dimer switch on headlamp panel ) are OK, it could still be a burn out bulb.
2. The FET is having an issue from a dead short ( blown bulb or dead short to ground ). Until the short is correct, the FET will not turn back on.
Start with checking Fuse #9 ( marked as Fuse #8 in the diagram, but that shows headlamp ), which is to the interior lamps, and drives 1 side of the FET.
THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR IS BAD THIS WHAT CONTROLS THE LOCK ELECTRONICALLY. WHAT IT IS THAT GET HOT AND THE CONTROL GETS HOT SO MANY TIMES BURNS UP CONTRFOL CONTACT. THE ONLY FIX IS TO REPLACE THE ACTUATOR.
The problem is probably a blown fuse. Check the owner's manual for location of the fuse panel, find the fuse marked instrument panel (or similar), and put in a new fuse. If the new fuse blows, there is a short which will have to be located and repaired.
Sounds like a parental control called front panel lock. You'll need to find the owners guide to reset the Parental control password or deacivate this lock setting. Usually, requires the remote controller too, espec. w/RCA sets.
Is there a MENU button on the panel, and does it ALSO produce the lock symbol? Do you have the remote?
Our Ford Expedition & an Olds Silhouette Premier & both did the same thing. Someone online said to spray the inside door where the metal connects with the frame & sensors are there with WD-40. We did & it fixed the problem. Maybe this will work for yours.
my left one comes on but my right one doesnt hah hah its a small world..pluck off the plastic cover maybe a loose or pinched wire electricals are annoying to fix
