Step Action Yes No
Schematic Reference: Interior Lights Schematics 
1 Did you perform the Lighting System Diagnostic System Check? Go to Step 2  Go to Diagnostic System Check - Lighting Systems 
2 Open each door of the vehicle, one at a time, using the following procedure:
  1. Open the vehicle's door.
  2. Observe the courtesy lamps.
  3. Close the vehicle's door.
  4. Wait 10 seconds.

Do the courtesy lamps illuminate when each door is opened?
Go to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems Go to Step 3 
3 Are the courtesy lamps inoperative from all of the doors? Go to Step 4  Go to Step 6 
4 Place the dome lamp in the ON position.
Does the dome lamp illuminate?
