Durango 2WD V8-4.7L (2008)
Console: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION
NOTE: The Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) module is sometimes referred to as the Electronic Overhead Module (EOM) for the
purposes of scan tool and diagnostic information naming. Please treat the EVIC and EOM as one and the same when diagnosing the vehicle.
NOTE: The overhead console on vehicles with the Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting package contains three LED units, each with its own
dedicated printed circuit board. The two outboard articulating eyeball-type LED reading lamp pod units with their integral lens-actuated
switches and printed circuit boards are available for separate service replacement. However, if the fixed center LED unit or printed circuit
board is damaged or ineffective, the entire overhead console housing unit must be replaced.
NOTE: On overhead consoles with incandescent reading lamps the switches, bulb holders and wiring harness are serviced only as a unit and
are not available individually for service.
NOTE: On vehicles equipped with both a power sunroof and power liftgate the overhead console switches (1 and 2) are serviced together as one
assembly.
