Glove Box Lamp

Glove Box Lamp

The BCU (C0662) monitors the condition of the glove box switch (C0227) by providing a feed on a RY wire. When the glove box is opened, the switch contacts close creating a path to earth on an N wire.

Automatic Mode

When the interior lamps are in automatic mode and any of the doors are opened, the BCU (C0662) provides a feed to all the interior lamps listed in the Body Control Unit (BCU) section previously. Current flows across the lamps to earth on N wires. When all the doors are closed, the BCU withdraws the feed to the interior lamps.

Manual Mode

When the switch located on the front interior lamp is pressed to enter the manual 'continuously on' mode, current flows across the front interior lamp to the BCU (C0660) on a WN wire. Sensing this, the BCU illuminates all the interior lamps listed in the Body Control Unit (BCU) section irrespective of door status.
