Turn Signal Lamps

With the Ignition Switch in RUN or START, Voltage is supplied through the TURN-B/U Fuse and Turn/Hazard Flasher to the normally closed contact of the Hazard Flasher Switch in the Turn/Hazard Switch.

With the Turn Signal Switch in LH Turn position, Voltage is supplied to both the LH Turn Indicator and the LH Front Park/Turn Lamp LT BLU (14) wire. Voltage is supplied to the LH Rear Turn Lamp YEL (18) wire.

The Lamps go on immediately. They begin to Flash when the current flow heats up the timing element in the Flasher and it repeatedly opens and closes the Circuit.

The Voltage supplied to the LH Front Park/Turn Lamp will also be supplied to the LH Front Marker Lamp. If the Headlamp and Panel Dimmer Switch is in the OFF position, the LH Front Marker Lamp will find a path to ground through Splice S122 and the many Lamps connected in parallel to ground. These Lamps provide low resistance paths to ground. The Marker Lamp will Flash with the Turn Lamps. The Lamps used for the ground path will not flash however since the Voltage drop across the Marker Lamp is much higher than that across the other Lamps.

When the Headlamp and Panel Dimmer Switch is in either PARK or HEAD, Voltage is supplied through the PARK LP Fuse, Headlamp and Panel Dimmer Switch and Splice 122 to the Marker and Park Lamps. If the Turn/Hazard Switch is in TURN LEFT, the LH Front Marker Lamp will have Voltage at both connections and will go out. When the Flasher removes Voltage to the Turn Lamp, the Marker Lamp will be grounded through the Turn Lamp and will go on. In this way, the LH Front Marker Lamp will Flash on when the LH Front Park/Turn Lamp goes off, and off when the Turn Lamp goes on. With the Turn/Hazard Switch in TURN RIGHT, Voltage will be supplied to the RH Lamps in the same way.
