Headlamps

Voltage is supplied to the Headlamp and Panel Dimmer Switch at all times. The Headlight and Panel Dimmer Switch includes a Self-Resetting Circuit Breaker. The Circuit Breaker opens when the Headlight circuit draws too much current. When the Circuit Breaker opens, it interrupts the current flow. With no current flow, the Circuit Breaker cools off and resets automatically. When the Headlamp and Panel Dimmer Switch is in HEAD, the Headlamp and Panel Dimmer Switch directs voltage to either the Low Beams or High Beams. The High Beam (depending on Headlamp Dimmer Switch position). When the Headlamp Switch is in HEAD and the Headlamp Dimmer Switch is in the LO position, voltage is applied through the closed contacts of the Headlamp Switch and the Headlamp Dimmer Switch to the LH and RH Low Beam Headlamps. Since both power and ground are applied to the Low Beam Headlamps, they light. When the Headlamp Dimmer Switch is moved to the HI position with the Headlamp Switch in HEAD, voltage is applied through the closed contacts of the Headlamp Switch and the Headlamp Dimmer Switch to the High Beam Indicator, LH High Beam Headlamp and the RH High Beam Headlamp. Since both power and ground are applied to the High Beam Indicator, and the LH and RH High Beam Headlamps, they light. When the high beam headlamps are energized, the low beam headlamps turn off.
