TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
Try the following checks before doing the
System Diagnosis.
Turn Lights
1. Check the TURN B/U Fuse by operating the
Back Up Lights.
2. If the Turn Indicator and Front Turn Light on
one side are inoperative, check the connection
at
C210. Replace the Turn-Hazard Switch as
necessary.
3. If only some of the Turn Lights work but all of
the Hazard Lights work, replace the
Turn-
Hazard Switch.
4. If the Turn Lights stay on (do not flash) in both
Turn Left and Turn Right, replace the Turn
Flasher.
5. If only one light does not light, check the bulb,
socket, and related wiring (see schematic).
Stop Lights
1. Check the STOP-HAZFuse by operating the
Hazard Lights.
2. If no Stop Lights work, check the Brake Switch
and ORN (140) wire for continuity (see
schematic).
3. If the Stop Lights do not turn off, adjustlre-
place the Brake Switch as necessary.
4. If only one light does not light, check the bulb,
socket, and related wiring (see schematic).
Hazard Lights
1. Check the STOP-HAZ Fuse by operating the
Stop Lights.
2. If only some of the Hazard Lights work but all
of the Turn Lights work, replace the
Turn-Haz-
ard Switch.
