Normal Operation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Mercury Mountaineer and 2005 Ford Explorer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The indicator flasher relay receives battery power from CJB fuse 5 (15A). The electronic flasher provides power to the multifunction switch through circuit 385 (WH/RD). When the hazard switch is turned ON, current flows from the multifunction switch to the RH turn signals through circuit 2 (WH/LB) and LH front turn signals through circuit 3 (LG/WH). Current is also routed internally within the multifunction switch to flow through circuit 374 (DB/WH) LH rear lamp and circuit 378 (BN/YE) RH rear lamp. The timed on/off cycle is determined in the indicator flasher relay and is set to flash approximately 80 times per minute if both the front and rear indicators operate. If only one turn signal lamp operates, the indicator flasher relay will flash approximately 160 times per minute.
