REAR LIGHTING
TAIL LAMPS AND REAR LICENSE PLATE LAMPS
Circuit A3 from fuse 5 in the Power Distribution
Center (PDC) connects to a bus bar in the fuse block
which feeds circuit L7. Fuse 9 in the fuse block pro-
tects circuit L7.
The headlamp switch has three positions: ON,
PARK (parking lamps) and OFF, plus a dimmer
switch. When the headlamp switch is in the PARK or
ON position, the switch connects circuit L7 to circuit
L90. From the headlamp switch, circuit L90 branches
to power the front parking lamps and rear tail
lamps, side marker lamps, and rear license plate
lamps.
GROUND CIRCUIT
Circuit Z1 provides a ground for the parking lamps,
tail lamps, and rear license plate lamps.
HELPFUL INFORMATION
²Check fuse 5 in PDC.
²Check fuse 9 in the fuse block.
²When the headlamp switch is in the PARK or ON
position, circuit L7 also connects to circuit E2. Cir-
cuit E2 continues through fuse 25 in the fuse block.
Circuit E2 powers the illumination lamps.
STOP LAMPS AND CHMSL LAMPS
Circuit L9 from fuse 4 in the Power Distribution
Center (PDC) connects to the stop lamp switch.
When the operator depresses the brake pedal, the
stop lamp switch closes and connects circuit L9 to
circuit L50. Circuit L50 connects to the stop lamps
and center high mounted stop lamps (CHMSL). Cir-
cuit Z1 provides a ground for the stop lamps.
HELPFUL INFORMATION
²Check fuses 13 in the PDC.
²Check for continuity across the stop lamp switch
when it is closed.
BACK-UP LAMPS
In the START or RUN position, the ignition switch
connects circuit A1 from fuse 6 in the Power Distri-
bution Center (PDC) to circuit A21. Circuit A21 feeds
a bus bar in the PDC that powers circuit F12
through fuse 11.
Circuit F12 supplies power to the back-up lamp
switch. On automatic transmission equipped vehicles,
the back-up lamp switch is part of an assembly that
includes the PARK/NEUTRAL position switch. When
the operator puts the transmission in REVERSE, the
back-up lamp switch connects circuit F12 to circuit
L10. Circuit L10 feeds the back-up lamps. Circuit Z1
provides ground for the back-up lamps.
HELPFUL INFORMATION
²Check fuses 6 and 11 in the PDC.
²Check for continuity across the back-up lamp
switch when it is closed.

TURN SIGNALS
TURN SIGNAL RELAY
In the RUN position, the ignition switch connects
circuit A1 from fuse 6 in the Power Distribution Cen-
ter (PDC) to circuit A21. Circuit A21 connects to the
turn signal relay.
Circuit L9 from fuse 4 in the PDC supplies battery
voltage to the relay. Circuit Z1 provides ground for
the relay.
Circuit L5 from the relay connects to the multi-
function switch to supply power to the turn signals.
The multi-function switch supplies voltage to the
turn signals and side marker lamps on circuits L60
and L61.
Circuit L12 from the relay connects to the multi-
function switch and the hazard flasher relay.
TURN SIGNALS
When the operator selects the right turn signal, the
multi-function switch connects power from circuit L5
to circuit L60. Circuit L60 feeds the right front and
right rear turn signal lamp. Circuit L60 also splices
to power the right turn signal indicator lamp on the
instrument cluster.
When the operator selects the right turn signal, the
multi-function switch connects power from circuit L5
to circuit L61. Circuit L61 feeds the left front and
left rear turn signal lamp. Circuit L61 also splices to
power the left turn signal indicator lamp on the in-
strument cluster.
Circuit Z1 provides ground for the turn signal
lamps.
HELPFUL INFORMATION
²The turn signal lamps are the same lamps used
for the hazard flasher.
²Check fuse 6 in the PDC.
HAZARD FLASHERS
When the operator selects the hazard flashers, the
multi-function switch connects circuit L12 from the
hazard flasher relay to circuits L60 and L61.
Circuit L60 feeds the right front and right rear
turn signal lamp. Circuit L60 also splices to power
the right turn signal indicator lamp on the instru-
ment cluster.
Circuit L61 feeds the left front and left rear turn
signal lamp. Circuit L61 also splices to power the left
turn signal indicator lamp on the instrument cluster.
Circuit Z1 provides ground for the hazard flasher
lamps.
HELPFUL INFORMATION
²The hazard flasher lamps are the same lamps
used for the turn signals.
