Turn Signals: Description and Operation

HEADLIGHT/COMBINATION LIGHT ASSEMBLY
Headlight/Combination light assembly is aerodynamically shaped to match contours of body. Light assembly is attached to body with two bolts.

This light assembly contains three bulbs. Two bulbs function as headlight, other as combination light. Headlight bulb is of single-filament halogen type.

Single filament is energized separately to provide high and low beams. An O-ring seals bulb installation to prevent foreign matter from entering headlight assembly. Bulb can be removed/installed from engine compartment without removing light assembly.

Each headlight can be adjusted to move beam up, down, left or right. Four adjustment screws for each headlight assembly are reached through holes in body structure, directly behind headlight assembly. Four screws can adjust (up, down, left or right )low and high headlight beams separately.

Front combination light contains two functions as hazard/turn signal light, and also as position/parking light.

The turn signals are controlled by the combination switch located on the steering column. The hazard lights are turned on/off by the switch located on the center panel.






COMBINATION LIGHT ASSEMBLY (REAR)
Rear combination light assembly is aerodynamically shaped to follow body contours. Lens is three-colored: amber (hazard/turn signal), translucent (backup) and red (tail/brake). Rear combination light assembly contains four bulbs. Two of four bulbs are single-filament and are used in hazard/turn signal and backup light circuits. Other bulbs are dual filament; one-filament functions as brake light and other as tail light. A plastic bulb holder mounts four lamps and associated wiring. Bulb holder can be removed from inside vehicle for bulb replacement.

Brake light bulb is turned on/off by a brake light switch mounted near brake pedal and actuated by movement of brake pedal. Refer to Brake System, for adjustment of brake (stop) light switch.

Backup light is turned on/off by a switch mounted on transaxle. When transaxle is shifted into reverse gear, switch is closed to turn on backup lights.

The turn signals are controlled by the combination switch located on the steering column. The hazard lights are turned on/off by the switch located on the lower LH cover.

The flasher unit which controls the hazard light operation is located under the left side of instrument panel.
