Hazard Warning Lamps: Description and Operation

Circuit Operation

Turn Operation
With the starter switch in ON, battery voltage is applied to the hazard warning switch from the C-14 BACKUP fuse. When the hazard warning switch is in the OFF position, battery voltage is applied to the flasher unit. Its output is pulsing voltage which is directed to either the RIGHT or LEFT position on the turn signal switch and causes the turn lamps and turn indicator lamps to flash in either direction.

Hazard Operation

When the hazard warning switch is in the HAZARD position, battery voltage is applied to the flasher unit. Its output is pulsing voltage which is directed to the hazard warning switch and causes the turn lamps and turn indicator lamps to flash in both directions.
