Turn Signals: Description and Operation

Circuit Description

Turn Signal Lamps
With the hazard switch in OFF and ignition switch in ON or START, battery voltage is applied from fuse 7 to the hazard relay. The solid-state hazard relay senses the turn switch position through the coil control and alternately applies and removes battery voltage to the turn switch. Voltage is applied to the turn signal lamps and indicators dependent upon the turn switch position.

Hazard Lamps
With the hazard switch depressed (ON), battery voltage is applied from fuse 7 to the hazard relay. The solid-state hazard relay senses that the hazard switch is in the ON position and alternately applies and removes battery voltage to the turn signal lamps and both indicators at the same time.
