CIRCUIT BREAKERS - PAGE 6-25
Starting with car serial No. 491-133694 the main
circuit breaker was changed from 30 ampere rating
to 20 ampere to give better wiring protection.
When ever necessary to replace a circuit breaker
use the 20 ampere circuit breaker.
DIRECTION INDICATOR - PAGE 6-28
Paragraph 1 should read: The direction indicator
switch is operated by a lever located on the steering
column and this lever is turned manually in the same
direction that the steering wheel is to be turned (up
for right or down for left turn). The switch turns off
automatically as the turn is being made. If the lever
is turned to signal for one direction but the turn is
made in the opposite, the switch will be turned off
automatically as the turn is made.

REPAIR PROCEDURES:
1. Disconnect switch wires from connectors under
instrument panel.
2. Connect black wire to hot side of circuit breaker.
3. Connect one lead of test lamp to blue switch wire
and ground the other lamp lead. Move switch
lever down and lamp should light.
4. Connect one lead of test lamp to yellow switch
wire and ground the other lamp lead. Move switch
lever up and lamp should light.
5. If lamp fails to light in either position, switch
should be replaced.
MECHANICAL CHECK:
NOTE: For proper operation of direction indica-
tor, steering wheel must be properly installed in
straight ahead position on steering column.
FIGURE 5
1. Remove switch case cover and check canceling
pawls (A), Figure 5, to see that they slide freely.
Apply a small amount of vaseline to slot in each
pawl.
2. Move switch lever up and turn steering 1/2 turn
right. Canceling pin in steering wheel hub should
strike and pass left pawl without moving switch.
The pawl spring (B) should return the pawl to
extended position when the pin clears.
3. If canceling pawls do not return to extended
position, pawl may be binding on pawl lever.
Examine spring attaching loop on pawl and see
that open end of loop is bent up - not down. If
pawl still fails to return, pawl spring may be weak.
(Spring may be removed and shortened.)
4. Return wheel to straight ahead position. Cancel-
ing pin should strike pawl and disengage switch.
5. Repeat test with switch lever down and turn wheel
left.
6. If switch fails to operate properly, canceling pin
in wheel hub may be too short or bent.
