Voltage is applied at all times to the park lamp relay from battery voltage. When the headlamp switch is placed in the PARK position and the body control module (BCM) commands the park lamps ON, the BCM then applies a ground to the park lamp relay control circuit. This engages the relay and applies voltage through the park lamp fuses and to all the park, license, and tail lamps.
