SYSTEM OPERATION
To turn lamps ON:
- Parking lamps, using left stalk turn headlamp switch to the first detent
- Headlamps, turn switch to second detent
- Headlamp beam select, from low beam to high beam or high to low, pull left stalk towards steering wheel. The ignition switch must be in the RUN position for the instrument panel high beam indicator to light.
- Headlamp optical horn, pull left stalk towards steering wheel, headlamps will stay ON as long as stalk is held.
- Fog lamps, pull switch outward with headlamps on low beam
- Panel dimmer, rotating dimmer switch regulates density of the instrument panel illumination. There are nine detentes (steps) of density. Detent 1 is full brightness and each detent thereafter is lower. Testing the dimmer switch using the continuity test, the resistance value is measured for each detent. Detents 3 through 8 are measured in equal graduations, up or down and referred to as linear. Example: if detent 3 was 5 ohms and detent 4 was 7 ohms detent 5 should be 9 ohms.
