Turn Signals: Description and Operation

Turn Signal Operation
With the ignition switch in ON or START, battery voltage is applied to the turn signal/hazard warning switch from fuse 7. When the turn signal/hazard warning switch is in the TURN position, battery voltage is applied to the flasher unit. Its output is pulsing voltage which is directed to either the RIGHT or LEFT position on the turn signal switch and causes the turn signal lights and turn signal indicator lights to flash in either direction.

Hazard Warning Operation
Battery voltage is applied to the turn signal/hazard warning switch at all times from fuse 3. When the turn signal/hazard warning switch is in the hazard position, battery voltage is applied to the flasher unit. Its output is pulsing voltage which is directed to the hazard warning switches and causes the turn signal lights and turn signal indicator lights to flash in both directions.
