When the headlamp switch is placed in the ON position, voltage is supplied to the dimmer switch through circuit 14 (BN). The dimmer switch then sends a variable voltage to the dimmable backlighting lamps through circuit 19 (LB/RD). The non-dimmable backlighting lamps receive voltage through circuit 54 (LG/YE) from the accessory delay relay the central junction (CJB). Ground signal is supplied to the dimmer switch through circuit 57 (BK).
