Normal Operation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Ford Pickup. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

When the ambient level has reached a point (determined by the internal programming of the vehicle security module), 2 internal relays are energized to supply power to the exterior lamps. Circuit 196 (DB/OG) supplies power to the internal headlamp relay, which in turn supplies power to circuit 15 (RD/YE) when energized.
