4-WAY EMERGENCY FLASHER (HAZARD WARNING)
All models are equipped with a four-way emergency
flasher system. With the switch activated, the two front
and two rear directional signal lamps flash on and off
simultaneously with both directional signal indicator
lamps on the instrument clusters.
This system makes use of the conventional directional
signal wiring and bulbs, but has a separate battery feed
wire, flasher unit and switch. It is possible to leave a
vehicle with the 4-way flasher operating, with the igni-
tion switch and vehicle doors locked. When the 4-way
flasher is turned on, the normal directional signal sup-
ply is disconnected at the directional signal switch and a
separate battery feed circuit is connected into the switch
from the fuse panel. The 4-way flasher circuit uses a
special heavy-duty flasher. Since the 4-way warning
flasher is of the heavy-duty type, it will flash from one
to six bulbs at a constant rate. Flashing indicator lights
do not necessarily mean that all signal bulbs are
flashing.
The 4-way emergency flasher switch is a part of the
directional signal switch.
To operate the system, push in on the switch button.
The 4-way flasher can only be canceled by pulling out
on the flasher switch knob.
Refer to Directional Signal Switch for 4-way flasher
switch removal or replacement procedure.
The battery feed for the 4-way flasher system is from
the fuse panel.
STOPLAMP SWITCH
The stoplamp switch is self-adjusting and is the same
for all models. The switch is retained in its mounting
bracket by a spring clip which engages the threaded
portion of the switch housing (fig. 3R-14). The switch
may be removed by pulling straight out of the mounting
bracket and retainer.
