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

Replace fuse No. 9. See Figure . Turn parking lamps on. If parking lamps illuminate without blowing fuse, repair is complete. If fuse blows, go to next step.
Turn parking lamps off. Using scan tool in ohmmeter mode, check resistance of fuse No. 9 connector (Pink/Red wire). If resistance is more than 5 ohms, repair short to ground in Pink/Red wire and replace fuse. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, go to next step.
Disconnect headlamp switch connector. Check resistance of fuse No. 9 connector (Pink/Red wire). If resistance is more than 5 ohms, replace headlamp switch and replace fuse. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, go to next step.
Disconnect instrument cluster connectors. Check resistance of fuse No. 9 connector (Pink/Red wire). If resistance is more than 5 ohms, repair or replace instrument cluster as necessary and replace fuse. See appropriate INSTRUMENT PANELS article in ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMENT. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, go to next step.
Disconnect Body Control Module (BCM) connectors. Check resistance of fuse No. 9 connector (Pink/Red wire). If resistance is more than 5 ohms, replace BCM and replace fuse. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, go to next step.
If vehicle is equipped with parking lamp relay, go to next step. Parking lamp relay is located behind dash, below parking lamp switch. If vehicle is not equipped with parking lamp relay, repair short to ground in Pink/Red wire and replace fuse.
Disconnect parking lamp relay. Check resistance of fuse No. 9 connector (Pink/Red wire). If resistance is more than 5 ohms, replace parking lamp relay and replace fuse. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, repair short to ground in Pink/Red wire.
