Turn Signal Lamp: Description and Operation

TURN SIGNAL LAMPS

Ignition positive voltage from the HAZT/SIG fuse 15 in the instrument panel fuse block is supplied to the hazard warning switch. The turn signal lamps may only be activated with the ignition switch in the ON or ACCY position. When the turn signal switch is placed in either the left or right position, the flasher module sends an ON/OFF voltage to the turn signal switch assembly. For the rear turn lamps, battery voltage is applied directly to either the left or right turn signal lamps. The ground for the rear turn lamps is supplied from G401. For the front turn lamps, battery positive voltage is applied from the turn signal switch to the instrument panel electrical center. From the instrument panel fuse block, battery positive voltage is applied to the instrument cluster (IC) indicators and to the normally-open switched side of either the DRL L or DRL R relay, depending on the turn signal switch position. Battery positive voltage is then applied to either the left or right turn signal lamps. The front turn signals are grounded at G102.For the hazard lamps, voltage is applied from the STP HAZ fuse 8 to the hazard warning switch. When the hazard switch is pressed, all the turn signal lamps will flash, including both IPC turn signal indicators. The hazard warning switch is grounded at G201.
