Low Beam Operation


With the headlight switch in HEAD and the dimmer/passing switch in LO, current flows through the headlight switch, dimmer/passing switch, fuse 3, fuse 4 and the low beam filaments to ground, and the low beams go on.


High Beam Operation


With the headlight switch in HEAD and the dimmer/ passing switch in HI, current flows through the head light switch, dimmer/passing switch, fuses 9, and 10, and the high beam filaments to ground, and the high beams go on.

Current also flows through the high beam indicator light to ground. The high beam indicator goes on to remind the driver that the high beams are on.


Flash Operation


The flash feature works with the headlight switch in OFF, PARK, or HEAD (low beams). When the dimmer/passing switch is moved to FLASH, current flows through the switch, fuses 9 and 10, and the high beam filaments to ground, and the high beams flash. The high beam indicator also flashes during the flash operation. The flash function has no effect if the high beams are already on.
