Normal Operation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Mercury Milan, 2006 Lincoln Zephyr, and 2006 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

With the parking lamps or headlamps ON, the smart junction box (SJB) sends a voltage reference signal through circuit VLN18 (BU/WH) to the instrument panel dimmer switch. The return signal is sent through circuit CLN27 (WH/BN) back to the SJB. The SJB then supplies a pulse width modulated (PWM) voltage signal to the dimmable illumination sources on circuit VLN04 (VT/GY).
