DIAGNOSTIC FAULT INFORMATION

CIRCUIT/SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
There is constant voltage that is supplied to the hazard switch. The Hazard switch (when engaged) supplies voltage to the park/turn signal lamps. The turn signal switch in the headlamp switch portion of the turn signal multifunction switch also is provided voltage from the hazard switch circuit after the turn signal circuit. Depending on the location of the hazard switch will determine which fuse the turn/hazard circuit will be powered.

DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
- The hazard switch open/high resistance.
- The turn signal fuses shorted to ground, open/high resistance located within the I/P fuseblock
- A short to voltage or open/high resistance in the hazard switch supply circuit.

CIRCUIT/SYSTEM VERIFICATION
Turn the hazards ON with the hazard switch. The hazard flasher module should make a clicking noise while the hazards start to flash.

CIRCUIT/SYSTEM TESTING

Hazard Switch Circuit Testing
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the hazard switch terminal B.
2. Test for less than 1 ohm of resistance between the ground circuit and ground.
- If greater than 1 ohm, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
3. Verify the hazard lights are OFF.
- If the hazard lights are not OFF, test the signal circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the hazard flasher module.
4. Install a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the hazard fuse signal circuit and one of the circuits for the hazard lamps. Verify the hazard lights are ON. Repeat for the opposite hazard lamp.
- If the hazard lights are not ON, test the signal circuit of the hazard switch for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance.
5. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the hazard switch.

COMPONENT TESTING

Hazard Switch Testing
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the hazard switch, terminal B.
2. Test for infinite resistance between the signal terminals and the voltage supply terminal with the switch in the open position.
- If less than infinite resistance, replace the hazard switch.
3. Test for less than 1.5 ohms between the signal terminals and the voltage supply terminal with the switch in the closed position.
- If greater than 1.5 ohms, replace the hazard switch.
