Low Beam Indicator: Description and Operation


The Daytime Running Lights On Indicator receives battery voltage with the Ignition Switch in RUN, and ground through the many Tail Lights with the Light Switch in OFF. This forces the indicator ON with the Ignition Switch in RUN and the Light Switch OFF. In daylight this indicator is barely visible, but in low light the indicator becomes visible. When the Light Switch is in PARK or HEAD, battery voltage is applied to the ground side of the indicator. With battery voltage on both sides of the indicator, it goes out.
