fog light bulb DODGE RAM 2002 Service Repair Manual

(9) Disconnect the instrument panel wire harness
connector for the multi-function switch from the
switch connector receptacle. Check for continuity
between the hazard flasher signal circuit cavities in
the JB receptacle for the combination flasher and the
instrument panel wire harness connector for the
multi-function switch. There should be continuity. If
OK, go to Step 10. If not OK, repair the open hazard
flasher signal circuit between the JB and the multi-
function switch as required.
(10) Check for continuity between the flasher out-
put circuit cavities of the JB receptacle for the com-
bination flasher and in the instrument panel wire
harness connector for the multi-function switch.
There should be continuity. If OK, test the multi-
function switch. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/LAMPS/
LIGHTING - EXTERIOR/MULTI-FUNCTION
SWITCH - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING). If not OK,
repair the open flasher output circuit between the JB
and the multi-function switch as required.

BRAKE LAMP SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The plunger type brake lamp switch is mounted on
a bracket attached to the brake pedal support under
the instrument panel.
CAUTION: The switch can only be adjusted during
initial installation. If the switch is not adjusted prop-
erly a new switch must be installed.
OPERATION
The brake lamp switch is used for the brake lamp,
speed control brake sensor circuits and electronic
brake distribution (EBD). The brake lamp circuit is
open until the plunger is depressed. The speed con-
trol and brake sensor circuits are closed until the
plunger is depressed.
When the brake light switch is activated, the Pow-
ertrain Control Module (PCM) receives an input indi-
cating that the brakes are being applied. After
receiving this input, the PCM maintains idle speed to
a scheduled rpm through control of the Idle Air Con-
trol (IAC) motor. The brake switch input is also used
to disable vent and vacuum solenoid output signals
to the speed control servo.
Vehicles equipped with the speed control option use
a dual function brake lamp switch. The PCM moni-
tors the state of the dual function brake lamp switch.
Refer to the Brake section for more information on
brake lamp switch service and adjustment proce-
dures.

HEADLAMP
DESCRIPTION
Headlamps on the Ram Pick-Up are modular in
design. The turn/park lamp module is incorporated
into the headlamp module. The module contains two
bulbs; a dual filament headlamp bulb, and a dual fil-
ament turn/park bulb. The Sport headlamp module
has two separate bulbs for the headlamp illumina-
tion.
OPERATION
Headlamps and parking lamps are controlled by
the headlamp switch. The multifunction switch
mounted on the steering column controls the high
beam function, and the turn signal function.
