The instrument cluster sends out a voltage reference signal through circuit 8-LG43 (WH/VT) to the multifunction switch. The return signal is carried through circuit 9-LG43 (BN/WH) (shared with the high beam circuit) back to the instrument cluster. When the hazard switch is engaged, the voltage signal sent by the instrument cluster passes directly through the multifunction switch and returns to the instrument cluster.
