No.: TSB-06-54-003
DATE: April, 2006
MODEL:
See below
This TSB supercedes TSB-02-54-005, issued March, 2002, to expand the affected vehicle model year range. New information is indicated by [>].
PURPOSE
This bulletin contains instructions for repairing a shorted dome light switch which can cause the IOD fuse to fail intermittently.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Some vehicles may intermittently experience loss of power to items such as radio, dome light, sun visor vanity light, and remote keyless entry.
[>] Dedicated IOD fuse # 4 (1999-2001 MY), # 18 (2002 MY), or # 22 (2003-2005 MY) may blow and cause the above functions to become
inoperative. The dome light switch slider may become loose, allowing the slider to rotate and contact the adjacent terminal. This causes a short circuit,
which blows the dedicated IOD fuse. The fuse typically will blow when the dome light switch is in the OFF position and the RKE transmitter LOCK or
UNLOCK button is pushed.
Use the repair procedures described in this bulletin to correct this condition.
AFFECTED VEHICLES
[>] 2000-2005 Eclipse models without factory installed sunroof
1999-2003 Galant
PROCEDURE
1.
Remove the dome light assembly.
2.
Inspect the position of the dome light switch slider bar with the switch in the OFF position (see photo). The screw securing the switch slider may
come loose, allowing the slider to rotate and contact the adjacent terminal.
3.
If the slider bar is loose and in the incorrect position, move it to the correct position and tighten the screw securely.
