Battery voltage Is supplied to the headlight relay at all times.


Low Beam Operation


With the headlight switch in HEAD, the headlight relay coil is grounded through the light switch to G3Oi. The energized relay then supplies battery voltage to the dimmer relay coil and,through fuses 46 and 45, to the left and right headlights and the high beam indicator in the gauge assembly. This grounds the low beam bulbs at G152 and G153, and the low beams come on.


High Beam Operation


With the headlight switch in HEAD, the headlight relay coil is grounded through the light switch to G301. The energized relay then supplies battery voltage to the dimmer relay coil and, through fuses 46 and 45 to the left and right headlights and the high beam indicator in the gauge assembly. When you pull the dimmer switch lever to HIGH, the dimmer relay is energized. The high beams and high beam indicator are then grounded through the RED/BLU wire and the energized dimmer relay to G152, and the high beams and indicator bulb come on. The low beam headlights stay on (see low beam operation).


Flash Operation


The flash feature works with the light switch in OFF, PARK or HEAD (low beams). When you switch the flash-to-pass circuit in the dimmer switch to flash, a ground is provided to the headlight relay and the dimmer relay, and both the high beams and low beams come on. To flash the headlights, pull the dimmer switch lever toward you until it clicks (if the high beams are already on, the headlights will "blink" but will not "flash" more brightly).
