Hazard Warning Lamps: Description and Operation

Voltage is applied at all times through the STOP HAZ Fuse and the Turn/hazard Flasher to the normally open contact of the hazard Switch in the Turn/Hazard-headlamp Switch Assembly. With the Hazard Switch "ON," voltage is applied to both Front and Rear Turn Lamps. All of the Turn Lamps and both Turn Indicators flash on and off.

The Front Marker Lamps flash with the Hazard Lamps on just as they did in the Turn Lamp operation. If the headlamp Switch is in "OFF," they flash on when the Hazard Lamps are on. If the headlamp Switch is in either "PARK" or "HEAD," they flash on when the Hazard Lamps are on.

With the Hazard Lamps on, the turn circuit is always open, and the Hazard Flasher controls the lamp.
