Turn Lights

With the Ignition Switch in RUN, BULB TEST or START, voltage is applied through the TURN Fuse and Turn Flasher to the normally closed contact of the Hazard Flasher Switch in the Turn/Hazard Switch Assembly.

With the Turn Switch in the TURN LEFT position, voltage is applied to both the LH Turn Indicator and the LH Front and Rear Turn Lights (LT BLU wire). The lights go on immediately. They begin to flash when the current flow heats up the timing element in the Turn Flasher and it repeatedly opens and closes the circuit.

The voltage applied to the LH Turn Lights will also be applied to the LH Front Side Marker Lights. If the Light Switch is in the OFF position, the LH Front Side Marker Light will find a patch to ground through splice S113 and the many lights connected in parallel to ground. These lights provide low resistance paths to ground. The Side Marker Light will flash with the Turn Lights. The lights used for the ground path will not flash however, since the voltage drop across the Side Marker Lights is much higher than that across the other lights.

When the Light Switch is in either PARK or HEAD, voltage is applied through the TAIL Fuse, Light Switch, TL 1 Fuse and the DIC Lights. If the Turn Switch is in TURN LEFT, the LH Front Side Marker Light will have voltage at both connections and will go out. When the Turn Flasher stops voltage to the Turn Light, the Marker Light will be grounded through the Turn Lights and will go on. In this way, the LH Front Side Marker Light will flash on when the Turn Lights go off, and off when the Turn Lights go on.

With the Turn Switch in TURN RIGHT, voltage is applied to the RH Lights in a similar way.
