I/P Compartment Lamp Malfunction

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Cadillac CTS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the I/P compartment lamp.
  2. Open the I/P compartment.
  3. Ignition OFF, exterior lamps OFF, test for less than 5.0 ohms between the ground circuit terminal A and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the I/P compartment lamp switch
  4. Ignition OFF, connect a test lamp between the courtesy lamp supply voltage circuit terminal B and ground.
  5. Command the courtesy lamps 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 OFF, test the courtesy lamp supply voltage circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
    • If the test lamp is always ON, test the courtesy lamp supply voltage circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
  6. If all circuits test normal, replace the I/P compartment lamp.
