Battery Discharge Protection Relay: Description and Operation
CIRCUIT OPERATION
Halo Lamp/Time Delay Relay
The time delay relay is used to allow a time-ON function for the ignition switch halo lamp, and dome lamp. Power for the relay is received on the
M1 circuit from the 10 amp fuse located in the fuse block, cavity 18. This is the Ignition-Off Draw (IOD) fuse and HOT at all times.
When a door is OPENED, or the headlamp switch is moved to the dome lamp position, a ground path is provided for the relay on the M2 circuit.
This energizes the relay, CLOSING the contacts. When the relay contacts are CLOSED, power is provided through the relay to the M50 circuit.
The M50 circuit supplies current to the ignition switch lamp in the steering column. Ground for the lamp is provided on the Z2 circuit.
