terminal 4 to vehicle body ground. The ohmmeter
should indicate zero ohms. If not, repair the open cir-
cuit in the wire harness to vehicle body ground.
(4) Measure the voltage between the delay module
terminal 8 and vehicle body ground. The voltmeter
should indicate battery voltage. If not, repair the
open circuit in the wire harness to the instrument
cluster indicator connector terminal 14.
(5) Measure the voltage between the delay module
terminal 6 and vehicle body ground. The voltmeter

DOME/COURTESY LAMP TROUBLE DIAGNOSISÐ
XJ
ALL LAMPS INOPERATIVE
(1) Rotate the headlamp switch rheostat clockwise.
The lamps should light. If not OK, remove, inspect
and test the dome lamp fuse. Replace if bad.
(2) If the fuse is OK, repair the open circuit in the
wire harness to vehicle body ground.
ONE LAMP INOPERATIVE
(1) Measure the resistance across the bulb holder
terminals. The ohmmeter should indicate zero ohms.
If not, replace the bulb.
(2) Measure the voltage between the voltage side
of the bulb holder and vehicle body ground. The volt-
meter should indicate battery voltage. If not, repair
the open circuit in the wire harness to the splice.
LAMPS INOPERATIVE WITH ONE OR MORE
DOORS OPENED
(1) Remove the inoperative switch from the door
pillar and connect the switch wire directly to ground.
The lamp should light.
(2) If not, check for an open circuit in black
(ground) wire. Repair as necessary. If lamps still do
not light, replace the switch.
