switch. When the turn signal switch is turned off, it must
pass stoplight current to the rear lamps. As a left or right
turn signal is selected, the stoplight circuit is opened and
the turn signal circuit is closed to the respective rear
lamp. Also note that when this circuit is used, the front
and instrument lamps must be on a separate switch
circuit.
unit creates the flashing of the turn signal lamps. It
consists basically of a bimetallic strip (two dissimilar
metals bonded together) wrapped in a wire coil. The
bimetallic strip serves as one of the contact points.

flows into the flasher, first through the heating coil to the
bimetallic strip, then through the contact points and out
