OPERATION

General
Feed from the positive battery terminal (C0192) is supplied to fusible link 3, fusible link 9, and fusible link 12 (C0632) on an R wire. Fusible link 12 (C0575) provides a constant battery feed to the lighting switch (C0041) and the daylight running relay (C0212) on an RN wire. A second constant battery feed is provided by fusible link 12 (C0570) to the lighting switch (C0041) and the daylight running relay (C0212) on a UN wire.

Fusible link 9 (C0570) provides a constant battery feed to the headlamp main/dipped beam relay (C0587) on an N wire. The headlamp main/dipped beam relay is located in the passenger compartment fuse box.

Fusible link 3 (C0571) is connected to the ignition switch (C0028) by an N wire. When the ignition switch is turned to the 'ignition' position, current flows across the switch (C0028) to fuse 1 of the passenger compartment fuse box (C0588) on an NW wire. Fuse 1 (C0582) provides an ignition feed to the daylight running relay (C0212) on a GR wire.

The ignition switch (C0028) also provides a feed to fuse 8 of the passenger compartment fuse box (C0588) on a G wire. Fuse 8 provides an ignition feed to the Central Control Unit (CCU) (C0593), which is mounted directly onto the rear of the passenger compartment fuse box.
