Normal Operation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis and 2006 Ford Crown Victoria. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The lighting control module (LCM) receives voltage from the central junction box (CJB) on circuit 54 (LG/YE). With the parking lamps on, the LCM generates a variable pulse width modulated (PWM) voltage which is distributed to the dimmable components on circuit 484 (OG/BK). Light intensity is adjusted by rotating the instrument panel dimmer switch.
