Turn-Signal Light And Hazard Lights Troubleshooting - Dodge Stealth 1994 Service Manual

OPERATION
1. When operation is normal
l When the ignition switch is switched to the
ON position, battery voltage is applied (via
the multi-purpose fuse @ and hazard switch)
to the turn-signal and hazard flasher unit.
When the turn-signal switch is switched to
l
the LH (or RH) position, Tr (within the flasher
unit) is switched ON and OFF repeatedly.
Then the contacts of the relay (also within
the flasher unit) repeatedly switch from ON
to OFF, causing the turn-signal lights and
turn-signal indicator light LH (or RH) to flash.
2. If one of the bulbs is burned out
If either of the turn-signal light bulbs is
l
burned-out, the resistance of the turn-signal
circuit as a whole increases, resulting in
shorter ON and OFF intervals of the Tr and a
higher flashing rate of the lights.
<Hazard-warning lights>
When the hazard-warning switch is switched to
l
the "ON" position, the relay contact of the turn
signal and hazard flasher unit is switched ON
and OFF repeatedly, in the same manner as for
the operation of the turn-signal lights, and the
left and right turn-signal lights and turn-signal
indicator lights simultaneously flash repeatedly.
NOTE
lights does not change if there is damaged or
disconnected wiring of one light.
(2) The light automatic shut-OFF system is valid
for the illumination light of the hazard switch.
(Refer to P.8-315.)
