AP1: Check Light Rheostat Resistor

With the ignition key in the OFF position, disconnect the light switch rheostat resistor connector.

Is the resistance less than 5 ohms between the wire terminals with either side of the light switch rheostat resistor depressed, and greater than 10,000 ohms with the light switch rheostat resistor released? If yes, go to the next step. If no, replace the light switch rheostat resistor.
