breaker on lighting switch, while on Series
50-70, a fuse is used. This fuse is located in a
splice type fuse holder clipped to the steering
column brace under the cowl.
On 1949 Series 50-70, the dome lamp in
closed bodies contains one 15 CP double con-
tact lamp bulb; in convertibles one 2 CP single
contact bulb is used. The dome lamp wiring
is protected by a fuse on the fuse block under
the cowl.
Dome lamp wiring circuit diagrams are
given in Section
10-J.
e. Courtesy Lamps -
1948 Series 50-70
1948 Series 50-70 sedans are provided with
four
courtesy
lamps. In the front compartment
these lamps are mounted on each side of the
front seat frame, and are controlled by spring-
loaded jamb sw
itches
operated by the front
doors. In the r
ear
compartment these lamps
are mounted on the rear seat frame and are
controlled by a spring-loaded jamb switch oper-
ated by the right rear door.
1948 Series 50-70 convertible coupes are pro-
vided with two courtesy lamps, one mounted
on each
side
of the front seat frame. These
courtesy lamps are controlled by spring-loaded
jamb switches operated by the front doors.
f.
Luggage Compartment Light
On Series 40, a plastic window in the side of
each tail lamp provides light for the luggage
compartment when the tail lamps are lighted.
On Series 50-70, the luggage compartment
lamp is mounted on the rear compartment lid
and contains a 2 CP lamp
bulb.
A switch built
into the lamp assembly automatically turns
t
he
light on when rear compartment lid is
raised,
and turns light off when
lid
is lowered. On 1948
models, the luggage compartment lamp is con-
nected to the tail lamp circuit so that it is
necessary to have the tail lamp turned on to
have the luggage compartment lamp operate.
On 1949
Series
50-70, the luggage compartment
lamp is connected to the dome lamp circuit so
that it is independent of the tail light.

g. Cigar Lighters
Both the front and rear cigar lighters are
heated by pressing the knob in until it latches.
The knob will automatically return to the "off"
position when heated to proper temperature. A
replaceable
thermal
fuse located in the lighter
base protects the lighter
element
against over-
heating if knob is manually held in for too long
a period.
See
figure 10-110.
The rear cigar lighter on Series 50-70 is con-
nected to the dome light circuit and the wiring
is protected by the same fuse which protects
the dome light
wiring.
