Deck Lid
Vehicles equipped with the Passive Entry (PE) system have a PE deck lid release switch (1) integral to the rear lit applique lamp. This tactile switch is secured to the back of the right side of the applique lamp. The switch button extends through the lamp housing and lens so that it can be accessed on the right side of the applique lamp.
The switch has a pigtail wire and connector (3) secured to the back of the applique housing that connects the switch to the vehicle electrical system through a dedicated take out and connector of the body wire harness. An integral 3.0 kilohm diagnostic resistor is connected in series with the output side of the switch.
The PE deck lid release switch cannot be adjusted or repaired. If the switch is damaged or ineffective, the entire switch unit must be replaced.
