PARK LAMP RELAY
DESCRIPTION
The park lamp relay is located in the Junction
Block (JB) below the driver side outboard end of the
instrument panel in the passenger compartment of
the vehicle. The park lamp relay is a conventional
International Standards Organization (ISO) micro
relay (Fig. 53). Relays conforming to the ISO specifi-
cations have common physical dimensions, current
capacities, terminal patterns, and terminal functions.
The relay is contained within a small, rectangular,
molded plastic housing and is connected to all of therequired inputs and outputs by five integral male
spade-type terminals that extend from the bottom of
the relay base.
The park lamp relay cannot be adjusted or
repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the unit must be
replaced.
OPERATION
The park lamp relay is an electromechanical
switch that uses a low current input from the Body
Control Module (BCM) to control a high current out-
put to the park lamps. The movable common feed
contact point is held against the fixed normally
closed contact point by spring pressure. When the
relay coil is energized, an electromagnetic field is
produced by the coil windings. This electromagnetic
field draws the movable relay contact point away
from the fixed normally closed contact point, and
holds it against the fixed normally open contact
point. When the relay coil is de-energized, spring
pressure returns the movable contact point back
against the fixed normally closed contact point. A
resistor is connected in parallel with the relay coil in
the relay, and helps to dissipate voltage spikes and
electromagnetic interference that can be generated as
the electromagnetic field of the relay coil collapses.
The park lamp relay terminals are connected to
the vehicle electrical system through a connector
receptacle in the Junction Block (JB). The inputs and
outputs of the headlamp low beam relay include:
²Common Feed Terminal- The common feed
terminal (30) is connected to the park lamps through
the park lamp relay output circuit and provides
ground to the park lamps when the relay is de-ener-
gized, and battery current to the park lamps when-
ever the relay is energized.
²Coil Ground Terminal- The coil ground termi-
nal (85) is connected to a control output of the Body
Control Module (BCM) through a park lamp relay
control circuit. The BCM controls park lamp opera-
tion by controlling a ground path through this cir-
cuit.
²Coil Battery Terminal- The coil battery ter-
minal (86) receives battery current at all times from
a fuse in the PDC through a fused B(+) circuit.
²Normally Open Terminal- The normally open
terminal (87) receives battery current at all times
from a fuse in the Power Distribution Center (PDC)
through a fused B(+) circuit.
²Normally Closed Terminal- The normally
closed terminal (87A) is connected to ground at all
times through a ground circuit that receives ground
through a splice block located in the instrument
panel wire harness with an eyelet terminal connector
that is secured by a nut to a ground stud on the

DOOR AJAR SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
This vehicle has four door ajar switches, one for
each door. Each switch is concealed within and inte-
gral to its respective door latch unit. The switches
are momentary leaf contact-type units that are actu-
ated by the door latch mechanisms. A short pigtail
wire and connector on each door latch connects the
door ajar switch to the vehicle electrical system
through its respective door wire harness. The door
ajar switches cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if
faulty or damaged, the door latch unit must be
replaced. (Refer to 23 - BODY/DOOR - FRONT/
LATCH - REMOVAL) or (Refer to 23 - BODY/DOOR -
REAR/LATCH - REMOVAL).
OPERATION
The door ajar switches are actuated by the door
latch mechanisms. When a door is closed and prop-
erly latched, its door ajar switch is an open circuit.
When a door is open or only partially latched, the
door ajar switch is a closed circuit. The door ajar
switches are hard wired between a body ground and
the Body Control Module (BCM). The driver side
front door ajar switch is connected to the BCM
through a driver door ajar switch sense circuit, while
the remaining three door ajar switches are connected
to the BCM through a passenger door ajar switch
sense circuit in a parallel-series arrangement. The
BCM reads the door ajar switch status through an
internal pull-up, then uses these inputs to control
many electronic functions and features of the vehicle.
The door ajar switches can be diagnosed using con-
ventional diagnostic tools and methods; however, for
proper diagnosis of the BCM, and both the hard
wired and electronic BCM outputs affected by the
door ajar switch inputs, a DRBIIItscan tool is
required. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic infor-
mation.
FLIP-UP GLASS AJAR SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
A flip-up glass ajar switch is standard equipment
in this vehicle. This switch is concealed within and
integral to the flip-up glass latch unit. The switch is
a momentary leaf contact-type unit that is actuated
by the flip-up glass latch mechanism. A dedicated
connector receptacle on the flip-up glass latch unit
connects the flip-up glass ajar switch to the vehicle
electrical system through the tailgate wire harness.
The flip-up glass ajar switch cannot be adjusted or
repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the flip-up glass
latch unit must be replaced. (Refer to 23 - BODY/
SWING GATE/FLIP-UP GLASS LATCH - REMOV-
AL).
OPERATION
The flip-up glass ajar switch is actuated by the
flip-up glass latch mechanism. When the flip-up glass
is closed and properly latched, the flip-up glass ajar
switch is an open circuit. When the flip-up glass is
open or only partially latched, the flip-up glass ajar
switch is a closed circuit. The flip-up glass ajar
switch is hard wired between a body ground, the
Body Control Module (BCM), and the rear wiper
motor. The output of the switch is connected to the
BCM and rear wiper motor through a flip-up glass
ajar switch sense circuit. The BCM reads the flip-up
glass ajar switch status through an internal pull-up,
then uses this input to control many electronic func-
