Normal Operation
The headlamp switch is supplied battery voltage through circuit 195 (TN/WH). When the headlamp switch is turned to the PARKING LAMPS ON position, the headlamp switch supplies voltage to circuit 14 (BN), which then supplies voltage to the exterior lamps.

Possible Causes
- Circuit 14 (BN) short to voltage
- Headlamp switch
- Vehicle security module (VSM)
