Operation
This section covers cars for the U.S.A., Canadian and Japanese markets only.
The supply is taken from fuse 7 to hazard warning light switch 25 via the 29-pole red connector 152B. It is then taken through this switch (in the un-actuated position) to flasher relay 23. (The pin numbers within parentheses for switch 25 refer to the 1984 and 1985 models.)
When direction indicator stalk switch 24 is moved from the neutral position, current pulses are supplied from flasher relay 23 to left-hand direction indicator lamps 27 or right-hand direction indicator lamps 28 (terminal L or R), via connector 58, and pin 11 (left) or 10 (right). The front lamps are also supplied via the 29-pole black connector 152C.
In addition, the two direction indicator warning lamps, 47H (left) and 471 (right) are connected in parallel with the direction indicator lamps for the respective side of the car.
The front light clusters of cars for these markets are also equipped with driving lights 118, which light up with a steady white light when the corresponding direction indicator flashes.
The driving lights are is supplied directly from fuse 20 (not through the flasher relay). Fuse 20 is live when the ignition switch is in the parked or drive position.
The respective lamp 118 is supplied from terminal 3 (left-hand) or 2 (right-hand) of direction indicator stalk switch 24, via the 29-pole black connector 152C.
1986 models
The 1986 models are equipped with side direction indicators 89 and 90, located on the left-hand and right-hand front wings respectively. The lamps are supplied in parallel with the direction indicator lamps in the front light clusters.
