Test 60B - Parking Lamp Switch Output Circuit Short To Ground

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1995 Eagle Vision, 1995 Dodge Intrepid, 1995 Chrysler New Yorker, 1995 Chrysler LHS, and 1995 Chrysler Concorde. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: For connector terminal identification, see CONNECTOR IDENTIFICATION . For wiring diagrams, see appropriate article in ENGINE PERFORMANCE:

WIRING DIAGRAMS - 3.5L
Perform TEST VER-1 after each repair.
CAUTION: Always turn ignition off prior to disconnecting any module connector.

NOTE: Low battery or momentary Chrysler Collision Detection (CCD) bus failure may cause DTCs to set.

Using scan tool, erase DTCs. Start engine. Turn parking lamps on. Allow engine to run for 2 minutes. Turn parking lamps off. Turn engine off. Turn ignition on. Using scan tool, read Body Control Module (BCM) DTCs. If PANEL LAMP PWM OUTPUT FAILURE DTC does not return, system is operating properly at this time. If PANEL LAMP PWM OUTPUT FAILURE returns, go to next step.
Turn ignition off. Disconnect BCM connectors. BCM is located in behind right kick panel. Using scan tool in ohmmeter mode, check resistance of BCM Gray connector terminal No. 8 (Orange wire). If resistance is more than 5 ohms, replace BCM. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, go to next step.
Disconnect headlamp switch connector. Check resistance of BCM Gray connector terminal No. 8 (Orange wire). If resistance is more than 5 ohms, replace headlamp switch. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, go to next step.
Disconnect radio connector. Check resistance of BCM Gray connector terminal No. 8 (Orange wire). If resistance is more than 5 ohms, replace radio. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, go to next step.
Disconnect Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) head connector (if equipped). ATC head is located behind A/C-heater control panel. Using scan tool in ohmmeter mode, check resistance of BCM Gray connector terminal No. 8 (Orange wire). If resistance is more than 5 ohms, replace ATC head. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, go to next step.
Disconnect manual A/C climate control head connector (if equipped). Manual A/C climate control head is located behind A/C-heater control panel. Using scan tool in ohmmeter mode, check resistance of BCM connector terminal No. 8 (Orange wire). If resistance is more than 5 ohms, replace manual A/C climate control head. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, go to next step.
Disconnect instrument cluster connectors. check resistance of BCM connector terminal No. 8 (Orange wire). If resistance is more than 5 ohms, replace instrument cluster. See INSTRUMENT PANELS article in ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMENT. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, repair short to ground in Orange wire.
