WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 GMC Sierra, 2008 GMC Cab & Chassis Sierra, 2008 Chevrolet Silverado, and 2008 Chevrolet Cab & Chassis Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Disconnect the X2 harness connector at the affected door module.
- Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the ground circuit terminal 15 and B+.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal replace the affected door module.
- Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal 10 and the ground circuit terminal 15.
- Command the Puddle/Courtesy Lamp ON and OFF with a scan tool. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states.
- If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the affected door module.
- If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the affected door module.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the courtesy lamp bulb.
