Circuit/System Description

The body control module (BCM) applies a 12-volt reference voltage through the headlamp and panel dimmer switch 12-volt reference circuit to the headlamp and panel dimmer switch. When the dimming switch is placed in the desired position, the dimmed voltage setting is applied from the headlamp and panel dimmer switch through the instrument panel (I/P) lamp dimming switch signal circuit to the BCM. The BCM then applies the dimmed voltage to the I/P lamp dimming control circuit and the components on the circuit.
