DESCRIPTION

Cables
are
covered
with
color

coded

vinyl
for

easy
identification
In

the

wiring
diagram
colors
are
indicated

by

one
or

two

alphabetical
letters

It
is
recommended
that
the

battery

be
disconnected
before

performing

any
electrical
service
other
than

bulb

or
fuse

replacement

In
addition
to
fuses
a
fusible
link

has
been

installed
to

protect
wiring

The
fusible
link
functions
almost
the

same
as
a

fuse

though
its
eharac

teristics

are
slightly
different
than

normal
fuses

ensure
that

I
Each

is

securely
fastened
to

its

Before

starting
to

inspect
and

repair

any
part
of
electrical

system
or

other

parts
which

may
lead
to
a

short
circuit

disconnect
cables
at

battery
terminals
as
follows

Disconnect

cable
at

negative

terminal

and
then
disconnect
cable

at

positive
terminal

Before

connecting
cables
to

battery

terminal
be
sure
to
clean
terminals

with
a

rag
Fasten

cable
at

positive

terminal
and
then

ground
cable

at

negative
terminal

Apply

grease
to

top
of
these

terminals
to

prevent
rust
from

developing
on

them

b
Never

use
a

FUSE
AND

FUSIBLE

LINK

DESCRIPTION

The
fuse
and
fusible
link

are

protec

tive

devices
used
in

an
electrical

cuit

When
current

increases

beyond

rated

amperage
fusible

melts

and

the

circuit
is

broken

When
for
one
reason

or
another

fuse

has
melted
use

systematic
pro

cedure
to
check
and
eliminate
cause
of

problem
before

installing
new
fuse

Notes

a
If
fuse
is

blown
be
sure
to
elimi

nate
cause
of

problem
before
in

stalling
new
fuse

b
Use

fuse
of

specified

rating
Never

use
fuse
of
more
than

specified

rating

Co

Check
condition
of

fuse
holders
If

much

rust
or
dirt
is
found

thereon

clean

metal

parts
with
fine

grained

sandpaper
until

proper
metal
to

metal
contact
is
made

Poor

contact
in

any
fuse
holder
will

often
lead
to

voltage
drop
or

heating
in
the
circuit
and
could

result
in

improper
circuit

operation

Fusible

A
melted
fusible
link
can
be
de

tected
either

by
visual

inspection
or

by

feeling
with

finger
tip
If
its
condition

is

questionable
use
circuit
tester
or

test

lamp
as

required
to
conduct

continuity
test
This

continuity
test

can
be

performed
in
the
same
manner

as
for

any
conventional
fuse
Body

Notes

a
If
fusible

link
should

melt
it
is

possible
that
critical
circuit

power

supply
or

large
current

carrying

is
shorted
In
such
a

case

carefully
check
and
eliminate
cause

of

b
Never

wrap

periphery
of

with

vinyl

tape
Extreme
care

should
be
taken
with
this

FUEL

GAUGE

AND
WATER

TEMPERATURE

GAUGE

DESCRI

PTION

The
fuel

gauge
consists

of
a

tank

unit

located
in
the

fuel
tank

and
fuel

gauge
The
tank

unit

detects
fuel
level

with
its

float

converts
fuel
level
varia

tion
to
a
resistance

of
slide
resistor

installed

on
the
float
base
and

thus

controls

current

flowing
to
the
fuel

gauge

BE16
The
water

temperature
gauge
con

sists
of
a

gauge
and
thermal
transmit

ter
located
in
the

engine
block
The

thermal
transmitter
is

equipped
with

a

thermistor
element

which
converts

cooling
water

temperature
variation

to

a
resistance
and
thus
the
thermal

tr

t
c

rtrols
cUfTent
flowing
to

the

gauge

The

fuel

gauge
and

water

tempera

ture

gauge
are

provided
with
a
bi
metal

arm
and
heater
coil
When
the

ignition

switch
is

set
to
ON
current
flows
to

the
heat
coil
and
the
heat
coil
is

heated
With
this
heat
the
bi
metal

arm
is

bent
and
thus
the

pointer

connected
to
the
bi
metal

arm
is

oper

ated
The
characteristics

of
both

gauges
are
the

same

A
tolerance

may
occur
on
the

water

temperature
gauge
or
fuel

gauge
due
to

source

voltage
fluctuation
The

voltage

regulator
is
used
to

supply
a

constant

voltage
so
that

the
water

temperature

gauge
and
fuel

gauge
operate
correctly

The

operating
part
of
the

regulator

consists
of
a
bi

metal

arm
and

a
heater

coil
When
the

ignition
switch
is

turned
on
the
bi
metal

arm
is
heated

and
bent

by
the
coil

opening
the

contact

Consequently
current
to

the

coil
is

interrupted
As

the
bi
metal

cools
the

contact
closes
The

repeti

tion

of
this

operation

produces
a

pulsating
voltage
of
8
volts
which
is

applied
to
the

water

temperature
and

fuel

gauges

If
both
the
water

temperature

gauge
and
fuel

gauge
become

faulty
at

the

same
time
this

may
be
attributed

to

problem
in
the

voltage
regulator
