Hazard Warning Lamps

Voltage is applied at all times through the STOP HAZARD Fuse and the Hazard Flasher to the normally open poles of the Hazard Switch. When the Hazard Switch is "ON," voltage is applied to the Front Turn Lamps, Turn Indicators, Tail/Stop/Turn Lamps and the Front Side Marker Lamps. When the Headlamp Switch is "OFF," they will flash when the timing element in the Hazard Flasher heats up, opening and closing the circuit.

If the Headlamp Switch is in "PARK" or "HEAD," the Marker Lamps flash on when the Hazard Lamps are on, and off when the Hazard Lamps are on.

When the Hazard Switch is "ON," the turn circuit is always open, and the Hazard Flasher controls the lamps.

When the Hazard Switch is "ON," the stop lamp circuit is always open, so the Hazard Flasher continues to flash the lamps even when the Brake Pedal is depressed.
