Interior lights Front interior light cluster. Main courtesy light does come on when switched, rear and door wells OK. Map lights work independently when both switched on they go dim and the main courtesy light also comes on dim. Pressing the main courtesy light button switches all lights off. Most confusing!

SOURCE: Rear interior light and door courtesy lights not working- Jaguar

take off the cover and replace them. if you have a volt/ohm meter you can put if on the car side and make sure you have voltage and the ohm meter on the buldb should give a 1 rating if its good. it would be the cheapest and easiest to just get a new bulb and see if it works then start checking fuses if its not the bulb.

Where is the location of the battery saver relay on 2004 Ford Ranger Edge 3.0L V6

Principles of Operation
Interior Lighting The interior lighting is broken down into two groups: the courtesy lamps and the illuminated entry lamps. Both lighting features interact with the courtesy light arbitrator. The battery saver is also listed in this section.
Courtesy Lighting The courtesy lamps consist of the dome lamp and/or map lights. The courtesy lamps can be activated by the GEM using the panel dimmer switch, or by any ajar door. The courtesy lamps will shut off when the doors are closed and the illuminated entry feature is not active, or when the vehicle speed is greater than 8 kph (5 mph). The interior lamps will not be reactivated until the vehicle speed is less than 5 kph (3 mph) and a new door open warning lamp switch signal is received. The inputs are:
  • ignition switch position
  • driver door ajar switch
  • front passenger door ajar switch
  • rear left door ajar switch
  • rear right door ajar switch
  • vehicle speed switch (VSS)
The outputs are:
  • battery saver relay
  • interior lamp relay

I have 2003 lincoln town car the interior lights will go on and off their own same with door locks and alarm at times

Interior lights and the power door locks are controlled by a electronic control module . Hooking up a factory or some other type professional scan tool an checking for codes an viewing input data to these control modules would be the first thing to do.
The interior lighting system consists of the following:
  • lighting control module (LCM)
  • driver door module (DDM)
  • instrument panel
  • dome/map combination
  • courtesy/reading lamps
  • orientation light
  • door lamps
  • footwell lamps
  • luggage compartment lamp
  • glove compartment lamp
  • vanity mirrors
  • door ajar switches
  • viewing wiring diagrams an checking power and ground circuits for these modules would be the next step if no codes were found . Principles of Operation
    Lighting Control Module This vehicle uses a lighting control module (LCM). The LCM is a microprocessor-based module that controls several vehicle subsystems, responds to electrical input signals from various switches, sensors, and external modules and is located on the LH side of the instrument panel. LCM subsystem functions include:
    • headlamps with autolamps
    • turn signal lamps/hazard flasher lamps
    • cornering lamps
    • parking lamps
    • daytime running lamps
    • interior lamps
    • demand lamps
    • battery saver
    The LCM interfaces with the driver door module (DDM) via the standard corporate protocol (SCP) network for the illuminated entry feature.
    The interior lamp is illuminated by pressing the individual interior lamp switch. The interior lamp is also illuminated by door ajar switches located in the door latches, when any door is opened. A theater lighting feature gradually increases or decreases the light intensity when switched by opening or closing a door.
    The dome/map lamp combination are located on each side of the interior lamp. The map lamps are operated independently of the interior lamp by two switches located on the interior lamps.
    The interior lamps are illuminated by holding the panel dim switch in the UP position until the dome lamps turn on. The interior lamp also illuminates when a door is opened and actuates the door ajar warning lamp switch in the door latch.
    The front map lamps are powered by the demand lighting circuit and the interior lighting circuit.
    The rear passenger reading lamps are incorporated into the rear seat assist handle and are located over the rear door openings. These lamps are illuminated through power supplied by the LCM demand lighting circuit.
    Interior lamps (controlled by the LCM) are activated by using the dome lamp switch (instant ON/OFF response) or when a door is ajar. The following lamps illuminate for interior lighting:
    • instrument panel interior lamps
    • front map lamps
    • rear reading lamps
    • door lamps
    Demand lighting includes lamps that are illuminated by the customer by directly actuating a switch. The front dome/map lamps are located in the overhead console. Each lamp is controlled by its own switch.
    The following demand lamps are powered by the demand lighting output of the LCM:
    • glove compartment lamp
    • vanity mirror lamp
    • luggage compartment lamp
    Each lamp has a dedicated switch that closes to ground to illuminate the lamp.
    The front map lamps are powered by either the demand lighting circuit or the interior lighting circuit, depending upon the position of the switch associated with each lamp. When the customer turns the front map lamp switch ON, the front map lamp is illuminated through power supplied by the LCM demand lighting circuit. If the customer moves the map lamp switch to the OFF position, the power from the LCM demand lighting circuit is interrupted and the lamp is reconnected to the interior lighting circuit.
    The rear reading lamps are powered by either the interior lighting circuit or the demand lighting circuit.
    The luggage compartment lamp is controlled by the trunk ajar switch, and is powered by the demand lighting output from the LCM, and is mounted near the center of the upper rear panel.
    The glove compartment lamp system consists of a glove compartment lamp switch and wire and miniature bulb assembly. Opening the glove compartment door closes the switch which provides power to the glove compartment lamp switch and wire. The glove compartment lamp switch is grounded to the body sheet metal.
    The vanity mirror lamp system consists of a switch and bulb assembly in the RH inside visor and the LH inside visor. Lifting the vanity mirror cover closes the vanity mirror lamp switch and provides power to the lamps.
    The illuminated entry system is controlled by the LCM and provides interior lighting upon entry to the vehicle.
    Interior lamps will be illuminated for 25 (±1) seconds which includes a theater lighting ramp-up time (0.5 seconds). This time interval does not include the theater lighting ramp-down time. Interior lamps will be turned off before the 25 (±1)-second timeout if the ignition switch is turned to the RUN or ACC position.
    The illuminated entry system has the following additions to accommodate the remote entry system: pressing the unlock button on the remote transmitter will activate the illuminated entry system (with theater ramp-up). When the driver door module detects a button press, it sends a signal on the J1850 communication network activating the interior lamps. The lighting control module will turn off the lamps by sensing the all doors lock signal.
    The battery saver feature prevents excessive drain from loads inadvertently left on. When the ignition switch is turned OFF, power is interrupted to the interior lamps and headlamps (after a 10-minute timeout) and the demand lamps (after a 30-minute timeout).
    The battery saver has the following inputs:
    • luggage compartment door ajar switch
    • dome lamp switch
    • ignition switch status
    • illuminated entry signal
    • headlamp switch
    • driver/passenger door ajar entry switch
    • keyless entry remote transmitter
    • door unlock, luggage compartment door release

I have an 06 Buick Lucerne rear courtesy lights do not work front courtesy lights work fine?

The BCM receives battery voltage from the CTSY/RF TRN fuse in order to supply power to the courtesy lamps. The BCM applies this voltage to the courtesy lamps through the courtesy lamp supply voltage circuits. When any door is opened, the door open switch contacts close and the BCM receives a door-open signal. If the BCM receives a door lock or unlock signal, the BCM will activate the courtesy lamp supply voltage circuit, providing battery voltage to the dome lamps and the left and right footwell courtesy lamps. The courtesy lamps can be manually activated by placing the interior lamp switch in the DOME position. For more detailed information concerning courtesy lamp operation refer to Interior Lighting Systems Description and Operation.
The BCM receives battery voltage from the INT LAMPS fuse in order to supply power to the inadvertent courtesy lamps. Inadvertent power courtesy lamp feature provides a similar function for the interior lamps as a retained accessory power feature. The BCM will energize the courtesy lamps supply voltage circuit when the BCM is in the active state (awake). When the inadvertent power courtesy lamps supply voltage circuit is energized, it supplies voltage to all the interior lights listed below. The BCM will continue to supply voltage to the interior lamps after the ignition is turned OFF so that the interior lamps may be operated.

Where is the interior light relay on 2001 ford windstar

Your interior lights are controlled by the GEM - generic electronic module !
Battery Saver The battery saver relay is controlled by the generic electronic module (GEM) and is located in the fuse junction panel. The battery saver relay is designed to supply B+ voltage to the following:
  • dome and map lamp switches
  • visor lamps
  • glove box lamp switch
  • interior lamp switch
  • interior courtesy lamp relay
  • delayed accessory relay
The function of the battery saver relay is to prevent excessive battery drain by interior lighting circuits. The GEM supplies a ground signal to the battery saver relay anytime one of the wake-up inputs of the GEM is activated to operate the battery saver relay. A wake-up command is sent when:
  • any door becomes ajar or is opened or closed.
  • the ignition key is inserted or removed.
  • the ignition switch is turned from OFF to RUN.
  • the ignition switch is turned from OFF to ACC.
  • a wake-up request is received from the remote anti-theft personality (RAP) module (if equipped).
  • The GEM will maintain the ground input with ignition in RUN or for 40 minutes from the last input activation with ignition in the OFF position. After 40 minutes the ground signal is discontinued.
This de-engergizes the battery saver relay preventing B+ voltage supply to the controlled switches and circuits.

    Saturn Turn Signal / Dome Light Issues

    The interior lamps system consists of 2 main features. Illuminated entry and a battery saver feature that will turn the interior lights off after 20 minutes if they are left On with all doors closed and the ignition Off. The body control module (BCM) controls both of these functions. Battery power is supplied by the BCM through CKT 1732 to the following lamps:
    • The dome lamp
    • The map lamps
    • The rear reading lamps
    • The rear dome lamp
    • The cargo lamp
    • The glove compartment lamp
    • The courtesy lamps
    • The sunshade lamps
    The BCM also controls the ground circuit side of the dome lamp and reading lamps for illuminated entry. The dome lamp and reading lamp will remain on for 20 seconds after the ignition key is removed and the last door is closed. In addition, if the vehicle is equipped with remote keyless entry (RKE), the dome and reading lamps will turn On and stay on for 20 seconds after an UNLOCK signal is received from the keyless entry transmitter.
    The reading lamps, dome lamp and map lamps can be turned On at any time by moving the appropriate switch to the On position.
    The rear dome lamp is fed battery voltage through CKT 1732 from the BCM, through the liftgate ajar switch, and is grounded through CKT 650 to the rear ground splice pack. The rear dome lamp will turn on when the liftgate is opened. The cargo lamp is fed battery voltage through CKT 1732 from the BCM, through CKT 744 and grounded through the decklid ajar switch.
    The courtesy lamps are fed battery power through CKT 1732 and are grounded through CKT 745-- left front, CKT 747--left rear, CKT 748--right rear, CKT 746--right front. These circuits will ground through the door jamb switches. The courtesy lamp will be illuminated when the affected door is opened. For example, when the right rear door is opened, the right rear door courtesy lamp will turn on.

    Not a fuse problem , if the BCM had blown fuse other thing's wouldn't be working as well . . Probably wiring or BCM . Using factory diagnostic,s instead of guessing as to what the problem is , is the proper way .

    Interior Lamps Diagnosis
    Symptom
    Procedure
    Important: Before proceeding with these diagnostics, check for DTCs. If DTCs are present, complete the associated diagnostics. If the condition still exists, return to this chart.
    All of the interior lamps are inoperative when any door is opened.
    Chart 1
    The dome lamp is inoperative in the ON position, but OK in the door position. The map lamps operate normally.
    The dome lamp switch is faulty. Replace the dome lamp switch.
    The dome lamp is inoperative in the DOOR position, but is OK in the ON position.
    Chart 2
    The dome lamp is inoperative in any position and both reading lamps are inoperative.
    Disconnect the dome lamp connector (BLK 3-way).
    Check for voltage at terminal "C" CKT 1732 ORN wire.
    If OK, the dome/map lamp is faulty. If no voltage is present, there is an OPEN in CKT 1732.
    Either the right or the left sunshade mirror lamp is inoperative.
    Chart 3
    Either the right or the left rear reading lamp is inoperative in the ON or the DOOR position.

    Map lights

    Just wondering if you ever found a solution to this problem. I have a similarly equipped 01 SuperCrew and the Map lights do not work independently. All come on when the door is opened and all work via dome light switch on dash, but none will come on when I try to switch them independantly. Everything else works fine. I suspect a bad relay, but all relays are the same part number and I have swapped places with no change in results.
