DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
TURN SIGNALS
Voltage for the turn signals flows from the Power
Distribution Center (PDC) to the ignition switch on
circuit A2. With the key in the RUN position, the
ignition switch connects voltage from the A2 circuit
to the A22 circuit. A 40 amp fuse in the PDC protects
the A2 and A22 circuits.
Circuit A22 connects to a bus bar in the fuse block.
L5 is one of the circuits fed by the bus bar. Circuit
L5 contains a 10 amp fuse and supplies voltage to
the multi-function switch. The multi- function switch
supplies voltage to the combination flashing unit on
circuit L55. Voltage leaves the combination flashing
unit on circuit L32 and flows to the multi-function
switch connector.
RIGHT TURN SIGNAL
When the operator selects the right turn signal,
the multi-function connects power from circuit L32 to
circuits L60 and L62. Circuit L62 connects to the
multi-function switch and feeds the right rear turn
signal/hazard flasher/stop lamp.
Circuit L60 connects to the multi-function switch
and feeds the right front turn signal/hazard flasher
lamp and side marker lamp. Circuit L60 also splices
to power the turn signal indicator lamp on the
instrument cluster.
LEFT TURN SIGNAL
When the operator selects the left turn signal, the
multi-function connects power from circuit L32 to cir-
cuits L61 and L63. Circuit L63 connects to the multi-
function switch and feeds the left rear turn signal/
hazard flasher/stop lamp.
Circuit L61 connects to the multi-function switch
and feeds the left right front turn signal/hazard
flasher lamp and side marker lamp. Circuit L61 also
splices to power the turn signal indicator lamp on the
instrument cluster.
GROUND CIRCUIT
Circuit Z1 provides ground for all the turn signal
lamps, although the it has different grounding points
for each turn signal circuit. Circuit Z2 provides the
ground path for the combination flashing unit.
HELPFUL INFORMATION
•
For the left front turn signal/hazard flasher
lamp, the Z1 circuit grounding point is the left side of
the radiator closure panel.
•
For the right front turn signal/hazard flasher
lamp, the Z1 circuit grounding point is in the right
fender side shield.
•
For the left rear turn signal/hazard flasher/stop
lamp, the Z1 circuit grounding point is in the left
rear wheel well.
•
For the right rear turn signal/hazard flasher/
stop lamp, the Z1 circuit grounding point is in the
right rear wheel well.
•
Circuit Z1 also supplies ground for the head-
lamps, parking lamps, rear license plate lamp,
back-up lamps and side marker lamps.
•
The grounding point for circuit Z2 is the instru-
ment panel right center support. Circuit Z2 supplies
ground for the combination flashing unit.
•
A 10 amp fuse, in cavity 6 of the fuse block, pro-
tects circuit L5.
•
A 40 amp fuse in the PDC protects the A2 and
A22 circuits.
•
The bus bar in the fuse block that connects to
circuit A22 and feeds circuit L5 for the turn signals
also powers three other fuse protected circuits. The
other circuits are C1, F20 and F25.
HAZARD FLASHERS
Circuit L9 from the Power Distribution Center
(PDC) supplies battery voltage for the hazard flash-
ers. A 10 amp fuse in the PDC protects circuit L9.
Circuit L9 connects to the multi-function switch.
With the hazard flashers ON, the multi-function
switch connects circuits L9 and L55.
Circuit L55 feeds the combination flashing unit.
Circuit Z2 provides ground for the flashing unit.
From the flashing unit, circuit L32 connects to the
multi-function switch. With the hazard flashers ON,
the multi-function switch connects circuit L32 to cir-
cuits L60, L61, L62, and L63.
