Normal Operation
Under normal operation, ground for the ajar switches is provided through circuit 1205 (BK). When the decklid is ajar, ground to the smart junction box (SJB) is interrupted. The SJB provides voltage to the lamps through circuit 707 (WH/YE). When any door is closed, ground is provided to the SJB through the circuit 1351 (TN).

Possible Causes
- An open in circuit 1205 (BK) or 1351 (TN)
- A short to voltage in circuit 707 (WH/YE)
- Decklid ajar switch
- Smart junction box (SJB)
