Where is the interior lamp control module located on a 98 Chevy Tahoe?

The interior lamp control module in a 1998 Chevy Tahoe isn't a separate, easily identifiable module like some modern vehicles. The control for the interior lights is integrated into the body control module (BCM). The BCM is usually located under the dashboard, often behind the glove box or on the driver's side. Accessing it typically requires removing some trim panels.

To find it, you'll likely need to:

1. Consult a wiring diagram: A factory service manual or a reliable online wiring diagram for your specific year and model Tahoe will be the most accurate way to locate the BCM.

2. Look under the dash: Carefully inspect the area behind the glove box and along the driver's side of the dashboard. The BCM will often have a series of connectors attached to it.

3. Be cautious: Disconnect the negative battery terminal before attempting any work on the electrical system to avoid shorts or damage.

Note: While the BCM controls the interior lights, the actual switch and circuitry for the lights themselves might be located in the overhead console or elsewhere in the vehicle's lighting system. The BCM is the main control *module*.
