REAR LIGHTING
TAIL LAMPS AND REAR LICENSE PLATE LAMPS
Circuit A3 from fuse 5 in the Power Distribution
Center (PDC) connects to a bus bar in the fuse block
which feeds circuit L7. Fuse 9 in the fuse block pro-
tects circuit L7.
The headlamp switch has three positions: ON,
PARK (parking lamps) and OFF, plus a dimmer
switch. When the headlamp switch is in the PARK or
ON position, the switch connects circuit L7 to circuit
L90. From the headlamp switch, circuit L90 branches
to power the front parking lamps and rear tail
lamps, side marker lamps, and rear license plate
lamps.
GROUND CIRCUIT
Circuit Z1 provides a ground for the parking lamps,
tail lamps, and rear license plate lamps.
HELPFUL INFORMATION
²Check fuse 5 in PDC.
²Check fuse 9 in the fuse block.
²When the headlamp switch is in the PARK or ON
position, circuit L7 also connects to circuit E2. Cir-
cuit E2 continues through fuse 25 in the fuse block.
Circuit E2 powers the illumination lamps.
STOP LAMPS AND CHMSL LAMPS
Circuit L9 from fuse 4 in the Power Distribution
Center (PDC) connects to the stop lamp switch.
When the operator depresses the brake pedal, the
stop lamp switch closes and connects circuit L9 to
circuit L50. Circuit L50 connects to the stop lamps
and center high mounted stop lamps (CHMSL). Cir-
cuit Z1 provides a ground for the stop lamps.
HELPFUL INFORMATION
²Check fuses 13 in the PDC.
²Check for continuity across the stop lamp switch
when it is closed.
BACK-UP LAMPS
In the START or RUN position, the ignition switch
connects circuit A1 from fuse 6 in the Power Distri-
bution Center (PDC) to circuit A21. Circuit A21 feeds
a bus bar in the PDC that powers circuit F12
through fuse 11.
Circuit F12 supplies power to the back-up lamp
switch. On automatic transmission equipped vehicles,
the back-up lamp switch is part of an assembly that
includes the PARK/NEUTRAL position switch. When
the operator puts the transmission in REVERSE, the
back-up lamp switch connects circuit F12 to circuit
L10. Circuit L10 feeds the back-up lamps. Circuit Z1
provides ground for the back-up lamps.
HELPFUL INFORMATION
²Check fuses 6 and 11 in the PDC.
²Check for continuity across the back-up lamp
switch when it is closed.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS
Circuit A0 from the battery is double crimped at
the positive battery post. One branch of circuit A0
(battery positive cable) connects to the engine starter
motor. The other A0 branch supplies voltage to the
bus bar in the Power Distribution Center (PDC).
The PDC supplies battery voltage to the engine
starter motor solenoid on circuit T40 when the coil
side of the engine starter motor relay energizes. Cir-
cuit A1 from the fuse 4 in the PDC supplies battery
voltage to the contact side of the starter motor relay.
The ignition switch supplies battery voltage to the
coil side of the starter motor relay on circuit A41
when the key is moved to the START position and
the Park/Neutral position switch is closed. Ground
for the coil side of the starter motor relay is supplied
by the case grounded Park/Neutral position switch.
Circuit T41 connects the coil side of the relay to the
Park/Neutral position switch.
When the starter motor relay energizes and the
contacts close, circuit T40 supplies battery voltage to
the starter motor solenoid. Circuit A0 from the bat-
tery supplies voltage to the starter motor when the
solenoid energizes.

when the key is moved to the START position. Cir-
cuit T41 from the coil side of the relay connects to a
Z2 jumper wire in the back-up lamp switch. Circuit
Z2 provides ground for the starter motor relay.
When the starter motor relay energizes and the
contacts close, circuit T40 supplies battery voltage to
the starter motor solenoid. Circuit A0 from the bat-
tery supplies voltage to the starter motor when the

HELPFUL INFORMATION
²The Park/Neutral switch closes when the trans-
mission is in either the PARK or NEUTRAL posi-
tions.
²Circuit T41 also connects to cavity 30 of the Pow-
ertrain Control Module (PCM). This input tells the
PCM the operator is starting the vehicle.

AND RELAY
The TCC solenoid is only used on three-speed au-
tomatic transmissions. The Powertrain Control Mod-
ule (PCM) operates the TCC solenoid by energizing
the TCC relay.
Circuit G50 from fuse 5 in the Power Distribution
Center (PDC) supplies voltage to the coil side of the
TCC relay. When the PCM provides a ground path on
circuit K54, the relay contacts close.
When the relay contacts close, they connect circuit
A14 from fuse 1 in the PDC with circuit T22. Circuit
T22 supplies battery voltage to the case grounded
TCC solenoid. Circuit K54 connects to PCM cavity
54.
HELPFUL INFORMATION
²In the RUN or START position, the ignition switch
connects circuit A1 from fuse 4 in the PDC to circuit
A21.
²Circuit A21 powers fuse 5 in the fuse block.
²Circuit G50 also connects to the engine data link
connector, Automatic Shut Down (ASD) relay, and
fuel pump relay.

TAIL LAMPS AND LICENSE PLATE LAMPS
Circuit A6 in the Power Distribution Center (PDC)
connects to a bus bar in the fuse block. The fuse
block bus bar powers circuit F33. Circuit F33 con-
nects to the headlamp switch. Fuse 3 in the PDC
protects circuit A3. Fuse 8 in the fuse block protects
circuit F33.
The headlamp switch has three positions: ON,
PARK (parking lamps) and OFF, plus a dimmer
switch. When the headlamp switch is in the PARK or
ON position, the switch connects circuit F33 to cir-
cuit L7. From the headlamp switch, circuit L7
branches to power the front parking lamps and rear
tail and license plate lamps. The lamps are case
grounded.
HELPFUL INFORMATION
²If the vehicle is equipped with factory installed fog
lamps, circuit L7 splices to feed the park lamp relay.
²Jumper harnesses connect the tail, stop, turn sig-
nal lamp to the body harness.
²Check fuse 3 in the PDC.
²Check fuse 8 in the fuse block.
²Circuit L7 also feeds the radio, if equipped.
STOP LAMPS AND CHMSL LAMPS
Circuit A6 from fuse 3 in the Power Distribution
Center (PDC) supplies voltage to the fuse block bus
bar. The bus bar powers circuit F32 through fuse 3 in
the fuse block. Circuit F32 connects to the stop lamp
switch.
When the operator depresses the brake pedal, the
stop lamp switch closes, and connects circuit F32 to
circuit L50. Circuit L50 connects to the CHMSL
lamps and turn signal/hazard flasher. Circuit Z1 pro-
vides ground for the CHMSL lamps. The turn signal/
hazard flasher supplies current to the L62 and L63
circuits. Circuit L62 powers the right stop lamp. Cir-
cuit L63 powers the left stop lamp. The stop lamps
are case grounded.
HELPFUL INFORMATION
²Circuits L50 and Z1 pass through contacts in the
rear door before reaching the CHMSL lamps.
²Check fuse 3 in the PDC.²Check fuse 3 in the fuse block.
²Check for continuity across the stop lamp switch
when it is closed.
²If the vehicle is equipped with anti-lock brakes,
circuit L50 connects to the ABS module.
BACK-UP LAMPS
In the START or RUN position, the ignition switch
connects circuit A1 from fuse 4 in the Power Distri-
bution Center (PDC) to circuit A21. Circuit A21 feeds
a bus bar in the fuse block that powers circuit G5
through fuse 9.
Circuit G5 splices to supply power to the back-up
lamp switch. On automatic transmission vehicles, the
back-up lamp switch is part of an assembly that in-
cludes the PARK/NEUTRAL position switch.
When the operator puts the transmission in Re-
verse, the back-up lamp switch connects circuit G5 to
circuit L1. Circuit L1 feeds the case grounded
back-up lamps.
HELPFUL INFORMATION
²Check fuse 4 in the PDC.
²Check fuse 9 in the fuse block.
²Check for continuity across the back-up lamp
switch when it is closed.
