EXTERIOR LAMPS - Indicators / Hazard Warning Lamps

DESCRIPTION

The indicators are controlled from the steering column switch and operate when the ignition switch is in position ’II’.

The hazard lamp switch is located adjacent the steering column. Hazard operation is not dependent on the position of the ignition switch. When the hazard switch is depressed, the left and right hand indicator lamps, the hazard warning switch itself, and the hazard warning lamp in the instrument pack will all flash.

OPERATION

Feed from the battery positive terminal is connected to the engine compartment fuse box (C0632-1) by a brown wire. Current flows across fusible link 5 and fuse 7, which are connected in parallel. Fusible link 5 (C0570-2) supplies a feed to the ignition switch (C0028-1) on a brown/white wire. Fuse 7 (C0574-1) provides a permanent battery feed to the hazard warning switch (C0096-7) on a purple/brown wire.

Indicators

With the ignition switch in position ’II’, current flows across the switch (C0094-1) to fuse 3 of the passenger compartment fuse box (C0580-1) on a white wire. Fuse 3 (C0580-6) is connected to the hazard warning switch (C0096-8) by a white/green wire. With the hazard warning switch in the off position, power flows through the switch (C0096-5) to the hazard warning relay (C0547-6) on a light green wire.

This feed energises the hazard warning relay, which is earthed (C0547-4) on a black wire. Current can now flow across the energised hazard warning relay (C0547-8) to the column switch (C0036-3) on a light green/brown wire.
