TURN SIGNALS
TURN SIGNALS
In the ACCESSORY or RUN position, the ignition
switch connects circuit Al from fuse 3 in the Power
Distribution Center (PDC) to circuit A31. Circuit A31
feeds circuit L5 through fuse 6 in the fuse block.
Circuit L5 powers the turn signal flasher. Circuit
L6 from the flasher connects to the multi-function
switch to supply power to the turn signals. The
multi-function switch connects circuit L6 to the turn
signal lamps on circuits L60, L61, L62 and L63.
RIGHT TURN SIGNAL
When the operator selects the right turn signal, the
multi-function switch connects power from circuit L6
to circuits L60 and L62. Circuit L62 feeds the right
rear turn signal/hazard flasher/stop lamp.
Circuit L60 feeds the right front turn signal/hazard
flasher lamp and side marker lamp. Circuit L60 also
splices to power the turn signal indicator lamp on the
instrument cluster.
LEFT
TURN SIGNAL
When the operator selects the left turn signal, the
multi-function switch connects power from circuit L6
to circuits L61 and L63. Circuit L63 feeds the left
rear turn signal/hazard flasher/stop lamp.
Circuit L61 feeds the left front turn signal/hazard
flasher lamp and side marker lamp. Circuit L61 also
splices to power the turn signal indicator lamp on the
instrument cluster.
GROUND CIRCUIT
Circuit Zl provides a ground for the parking lamps,
turn/tail/stop lamps, and rear license plate lamps.
HELPFUL INFORMATION
• Check the 40 amp fuse located in cavity 3 of the
PDC
• Check the 15 amp fuse located in cavity 6 of the

• Check the lamp filaments
HAZARD FLASHERS
Circuit A15 from the battery positive post supplies
power to the hazard flasher fuse (fuse C) in the
Power Distribution Center (PDC). Circuit 15 has an
in-line fusible link.
Circuit L9 from the hazard flasher fuse supplies
battery voltage to the hazard warning flasher. Circuit
L19 from the flasher connects to the multi-function
switch.
When the operator presses the hazard flasher but­
ton, the multi-function switch connects circuit L19 to
circuits L60, L61, L62, and L63.
Circuit L62 powers the right rear turn signal/stop
lamp. Circuit L63 powers the left rear turn signal/
stop lamp. Circuit L60 powers the right front lamps
and circuit L61 powers the left front lamps.
Circuit L60 and L61 are double crimped at the
multi-function switch and supply power for the turn
signal indicator lamps in the instrument cluster.

Circuit Zl provides a ground for the parking lamps,
turn/tail/stop lamps, and rear license plate lamps.
Circuit Zl also provides a ground for the back-up
lamps and Center High Mounted Stop Lamps
(CHMSL) lamps.
HELPFUL INFORMATION
