Parking, Rear or License Lamps
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Lincoln LS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
For the LH and RH rear parking, license, and LH and RH front parking lamps, outputs are controlled by the FEM and REM. The headlamp switch is hard-wired to the instrument cluster. When the headlamp switch is in the headlamps ON or parking lamps ON position, the instrument cluster sends a command via the network link to the FEM and REM. The FEM and REM process this information and output the appropriate command to the parking or license lamps, which are hard-wired to the FEM and REM. Only the left and right rear lamps will provide lamp outage indication. Fault management of the parking lamps provides rear parking lamp functionality in the event of certain multifunction switch, headlamp switch, ignition switch, FEM or REM failures.
