Hazard Warning Lamps: Description and Operation


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

The Front Marker Lights flash with the Hazard Lights on just as they did in Turn Light operation. If the Headlight Switch is in "OFF," they flash on when the Hazard Lights are on. If the Headlight Switch is in either "PARK" or "HEAD," they flash on when the Hazard Lights are off, and off when the Hazard Lights are on.


With the Hazard Lights on, the turn circuit is always open, and the Hazard Flasher controls the lights.
