Exterior Lamps

PARK, MARKER, LICENSE LIGHTS AND TAILLAMPS
Voltage is applied at all times from Forward Lights Electrical Center Fuse #4 to the Park Lights Relay. The Park Lights Relay is energized when either the Headlight Switch is in "PARK" or "HEAD," supplying the ground, or when the CCM supplies ground for the Twilight Sentinel and Daytime Running Lights. The Relay is also energized when the RKE/UTD supplies ground to it. Once the Park Lights Relay is energized, voltage is applied through CKT 9 to the F/L Electrical Center and the I/P Fuse Block supplying voltage to the F/L Front Park Lamp Fuse, I/P Cornering Lights Fuse, Rear Tail Light Fuse and interior Dimming Fuse. Current flows through CKTs 9, 913 and 13 to all Park, Marker, Tail and License Lights turning them on.

TURN LIGHTS
With the ignition Switch in "RUN," "BULB TEST" or "START," voltage is applied from I/P Fuse #6 and the Electric Turn Signal Flasher to the normally closed pole of the Hazard Switch in the Turn/Hazard Switch Assembly.

With the Turn Switch in the "TURN LEFT" position, voltage is applied from the Turn Switch to CKT 14 at terminal "H" of the Turn/Hazard Switch connector C210 and to CKT 18 at terminal "M" of C210. LH Front Turn, Rear Turn and indicator Lights flash "ON" and "OFF" as current flow heats up the timing element in the Electric Turn Signal Flasher, and it continuously opens and closes the circuit (for RH Turn Lights CKT 15 terminal "J" of C210 and CKT 19 terminal "N" of C21O.

The Electric Turn Signal Flasher will flash four or more turn signal bulbs at the same flash rate. The Electric Turn Signal Flasher will flash at a much faster rate if three or less Turn Signal Bulbs are being flashed (Front Marker Bulb won't affect flash rate if illuminated or not).

With Park Lights "ON" and Turn Lights "ON," voltage is applied to both terminals of the Front Marker Lamp causing it to be "OFF." When the Front Turn Light is "OFF," voltage is applied to only one terminal of the Marker Lamp causing it to flash "ON." They continue to flash "ON" and "OFF" out of sequence until Turn Switch is turned "OFF."

HAZARD LIGHTS
Voltage is applied at all times from I/P Fuse #44 and the Hazard Flasher to the normally open poles of the Hazard Switch in the Turn/Hazard Switch Assembly. With the Hazard Switch in "HAZARD," voltage is applied to the Stop-Turn Lights. All of the Stop-Turn Lights and both Turn indicators flash on and off.

STOP LIGHTS
Voltage is applied at all times from I/P Fuse #37 to the BTSI/Stop Light Switch Assembly. When the brake pedal is depressed, voltage is applied from the BTSI/Stop Switch Assembly and Turn/Hazard Switch to CKT 18 and CKT 19, turning "ON" the LH and RH Tail/Stop/Turn Lights.

Voltage is supplied at all times through I/P Fuse #37 to the BTSI/Stop Lights Switch Assembly. When the brake pedal is depressed, voltage is applied from the BTSI/Stop Lights Switch Assembly to CKT 820 and the Center High Mounted Stop Light (CHMSL), turning "ON" the CHMSL. CHMSL is not affected by the Turn/Hazard Switch Assembly.
