Mechanical System Operation

The front park/turn signal lamps are located next to the headlamp assembly. The turn signal/headlamp switch lever is located on the left side of the steering column. Turn the end of the switch lever to the first detent position in order to turn on the park lamps. When a turn is signaled, the appropriate front park lamp flashes to signal a turn. The turn signals operate only with the ignition switch in the ON or START positions and will not operate during hazard flasher operation. When making a partial turn, such as when changing lanes, the driver has the option of moving the lever to a detent stop. The turn signal lamps and the turn signal indicator will continue to flash as long as the lever is held in this position and will cancel automatically when the lever is released. The detent position allows a lane change or shallow turn to be made without failing to cancel the turn signal lamp. Moving the lever past the detent position to its furthest upward or downward position will provide conventional turn signal operation. Turn signal operation is controlled by the turn/hazard signal relay located in Junction Block #1 and the turn signal/headlamp switch lever. The park/turn signal lamp lens is clear over the park lamp and amber over the turn signal lamp. It contains one amber double filament bulb.
