Turn Signal Indicator: Description and Operation
SYSTEM OPERATION
The turn signal indicator lamps are located in the instrument cluster. They flash with the exterior turn signal lamps to give the driver a visual
indication that a turn signal or the hazard warning system is operating.
The left and right turn signal indicator lamps give an indication when the turn signal circuits are activated. The lamps are hard-wired in the
instrument cluster, and are completely controlled by the turn signal and hazard warning (multi-function) switches.
The indicator lamps are grounded at all times and receive battery feed through the contacts of the multi-function switch when the turn signal lever
(multi-function switch stalk) or the hazard warning button are actuated to their On positions. The instrument cluster circuitry does not perform a
bulb test of these lamps.
The exterior lamps in the turn signal and hazard warning circuits include the front park/turn signal, and the rear tail/stop/turn signal.
