Right Park Lamp Open

Page language: EN

Causes

  • Burnt out/incandescent bulb or failed LED module
  • Open or corroded connector at the lamp
  • Broken or chafed wiring/harness between lamp and BCM
  • Blown fuse protecting the park lamp circuit
  • Faulty ground at the lamp housing
  • Vehicle body control module (BCM) output or driver failure

Symptoms

  • Right-side park lamp does not illuminate when park/headlights are on
  • Possible warning lamp or message on dash indicating lighting fault
  • Intermittent operation if connector/wiring is loose
  • Other lights normally operate (left park lamp may still work)

What to check

  • Visually inspect right park lamp for burned-out bulb or damaged LED lens/module
  • Inspect lamp socket and connector for corrosion, bent pins, water intrusion, or loose fit
  • Check vehicle fuses related to exterior lamps (replace if blown)
  • Turn park lights on and observe behavior; verify whether other lamps on same circuit function
  • Wiggle-test harness near lamp while observing lamp to find intermittent connections (do safely)
  • Scan vehicle with manufacturer scan tool to read lamp circuit status and any additional related codes

Signal parameters

  • Command: BCM should output ~12 V to lamp circuit when park lights are ON
  • Open-circuit: near-infinite resistance between lamp contact and BCM terminal when lamp removed or connector unplugged
  • Typical incandescent park lamp current: ~0.5–1.0 A (varies by bulb wattage)
  • Typical LED park lamp current: ~0.05–0.3 A (varies by module)
  • Ground resistance: low ohms between lamp ground and chassis (

Diagnostic algorithm

  1. Safety first: ignition key off, wear eye protection, avoid energized circuits when unplugging connectors.
  2. Visually inspect the right park lamp assembly, bulb/LED, socket and connector for damage or corrosion. Replace bulb or LED module if visibly failed.
  3. With connector unplugged, measure resistance/continuity between the lamp contacts and the BCM harness terminal for the right park lamp. Expect continuity when lamp present or near-zero ohms to ground for ground side.
  4. With ignition ON and park lights commanded ON, back-probe the BCM output pin at the lamp connector. Verify ~12 V appears on the supply contact. If 12 V present but lamp does not light, replace lamp/bulb or socket.
  5. If no voltage at BCM output, check fuses and intermediate junctions for open circuit. Trace wiring toward BCM and check for open or damaged sections. Repair any broken wires or connectors.
  6. Check ground at lamp: measure voltage drop from lamp ground to chassis while lights ON (should be
  7. If wiring and lamp assembly are good but BCM output remains open, perform BCM driver tests per manufacturer procedures; reprogram or replace BCM only after confirming open driver and following vehicle-specific diagnostic flow.
  8. Clear codes and test drive or cycle lights to confirm repair; re-scan for reappearance of B2573.

Likely causes

  • Failed right park lamp bulb or LED module
  • Corroded/loose lamp connector or socket
  • Broken wire or connector pin (open) in harness to right park lamp
  • Faulty BCM lamp driver or internal open circuit
