BACKUP LAMP SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with a manual transmission
have a normally open, spring-loaded plunger type
back-up lamp switch (Fig. 2). The backup lamp
switch is located in a threaded hole on the side of the
manual transmission housing, beneath the floor
panel of the vehicle. The backup lamp switch has a
threaded body and a hex formation near the plunger
end of the switch, and an integral connector recepta-
cle at the opposite end of the switch. When installed,
only the connector receptacle and the hex formation
are visible on the outside of the transmission hous-
ing. Vehicles with an optional electronic automatic
transmission have a Transmission Range Sensor
(TRS) that is used to perform several functions,
including that of the backup lamp switch. The TRS is
described in further detail elsewhere in this service
information. The backup lamp switch cannot be
adjusted or repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the
entire switch unit must be replaced.
OPERATION
The backup lamp switch controls the flow of bat-
tery current to the backup lamp bulbs at the back of
the vehicle through an output on the back-up lamp
feed circuit. The switch plunger is mechanically actu-
ated by the gearshift mechanism within the trans-
mission, which will depress the switch plunger and
close the switch contacts whenever the reverse gear
has been selected. The switch receives battery cur-
rent through a fuse in the Junction Block (JB) on a
fused ignition switch output (run) circuit whenever
the ignition switch is in the On position. A take out
of the engine wire harness connects the backup lamp
switch to the vehicle electrical system. The backup
lamp switch and circuits can be tested using conven-
tional diagnostic tools and methods.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - BACKUP LAMP
SWITCH
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Raise and support the vehicle.
(3) Locate and disconnect the engine wire harness
connector for the backup lamp switch from the
switch connector receptacle.
(4) Check for continuity between the two terminal
pins in the backup lamp switch connector receptacle.
(a) With the gear selector lever in the Reverse
position, there should be continuity.
(b) With the gear selector lever in any position
other than Reverse, there should be no continuity.

CAUTION: Always replace a removed brake lamp
switch with a new unit. This is a one time compo-
nent and is not intended for reinstallation.
INSTALLATION

BAGS, DISABLE THE SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT
SYSTEM BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY STEERING
WHEEL, STEERING COLUMN, DRIVER AIRBAG,
PASSENGER AIRBAG, SEAT BELT TENSIONER,

OR INSTRUMENT PANEL COMPONENT DIAGNOSIS
OR SERVICE. DISCONNECT AND ISOLATE THE
BATTERY NEGATIVE (GROUND) CABLE, THEN
WAIT TWO MINUTES FOR THE SYSTEM CAPACI-
TOR TO DISCHARGE BEFORE PERFORMING FUR-
THER DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE. THIS IS THE ONLY
SURE WAY TO DISABLE THE SUPPLEMENTAL
RESTRAINT SYSTEM. FAILURE TO TAKE THE
PROPER PRECAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN ACCI-
DENTAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND POSSIBLE
PERSONAL INJURY.
CAUTION: Always replace a removed brake lamp
switch with a new unit. This is a one time compo-
nent and is not intended for reinstallation.
(1) While holding the brake pedal depressed, align
the tabs on the brake lamp switch locking collar with
the keyed mounting hole in the steering column sup-
port bracket (Fig. 5).
(2) Still holding the brake pedal depressed, insert
the tabs on the brake lamp switch housing through
the keyed mounting hole in the steering column sup-
port bracket until the switch is firmly seated against
the bracket.
(3) Still holding the brake pedal depressed, rotate
the switch clockwise about 30 degrees to lock the
tabs on the brake lamp switch locking collar to the
keyed mounting hole in the steering column support
bracket.
(4) Release the brake pedal.
CAUTION: Do not pull up on the brake pedal before
the switch plunger adjustment has been completed.
(5) Rotate the plunger adjustment release lever
clockwise until it locks into place parallel to the
brake lamp switch connector receptacle. This action
will set the switch plunger length to a final adjust-
ment position and cannot be undone. If not per-
formed properly the first time, a new brake lamp
switchmustbe installed.(6) Reconnect the instrument panel wire harness
connector for the brake lamp switch to the switch
connector receptacle.
(7) Reconnect the battery negative cable.

COMBINATION FLASHER
DESCRIPTION
The combination flasher for this model is integral
to the hazard switch located in the center of the
instrument panel, just above the radio. The combina-
tion flasher is a smart relay that functions as both
the turn signal system and the hazard warning sys-
tem flasher. The combination flasher contains active
electronic Integrated Circuitry (IC) elements. This
flasher is designed to handle the current flow
requirements of the factory-installed lighting. If sup-
plemental lighting is added to the turn signal lamp
circuits, such as when towing a trailer with lights,
the combination flasher will automatically try to
compensate to keep the flash rate the same.
The combination flasher cannot be repaired or
adjusted and, if faulty or damaged, the hazard switch
unit must be replaced.
OPERATION
The combination flasher has the following inputs and
outputs: fused B(+), fused ignition switch output, right
turn signal sense, left turn signal sense, and one out-
put each for the right and left turn signal circuits. The
combination flasher also receives an internal input
through the closed contacts of the hazard switch and,
on vehicles equipped with the optional Vehicle Theft
Security System (VTSS), the flasher receives an input
from the Body Control Module (BCM) in order to flash
the turn signal lamps as an optical alert feature of that
