Normal Operation

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

The instrument cluster monitors the multifunction switch positions. The instrument cluster sends out a voltage reference signal to the multifunction switch through circuit 8-LE14 (WH/BU). The return signal is sent through circuit 9-LG43 (BN/WH). When the multifunction switch is in the high beam position, the instrument cluster sends a signal to the front electronic module (FEM) to illuminate the high beams. If a problem is detected with the circuits to the multifunction switch, the instrument cluster will not send a signal to the FEM to illuminate the high beams.
