Turn Signal Indicator: Description and Operation
SYSTEM OPERATION
The left and right turn signal indicator lamps give an indication when the turn signal circuits are activated. The lamps are completely controlled by
a hard-wired input to the instrument cluster from the turn signal and hazard warning (multi-function) switches.
The 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 hazard warning button are actuated to the On position. The instrument cluster circuitry does not perform a bulb test
of these lamps.
Turn Signal Indicator Lamp
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. For diagnosis and service of these lamps, refer to Lighting and Horns/Turn
Signals
CIRCUIT OPERATION
Circuits L61 and L6O power the turn signal indicator lamps. Circuit L61 powers the left indicator lamp. Circuit L6O powers the right indicator
lamp.
