. Headlight Beam Indicator
Light
The headlights of your car have
high and low beams to provide you with
proper night-time visibility
for most driving conditions. The
"low" beams are used during most
city driving. The
"high" beams are
especially useful when driving on
dark roads since they provide ex­
cellent long range illumination.
The headlight beam indicator will
be on whenever the high beams or
"brights" are in use. The Headlight
Beam
Switch controls the headlight
beams (see Page 22) .
Light Switch
The three position light switch
controls the headlights, taillights,
parking lights, side marker lights,
instrument lights and dome lights
as shown. The headlamp circuit is
protected by a circuit breaker in the
light switch. An overload on the
breaker will cause the lamps
to
"flicker" on and off. If this condi­
tion develops, have your headlamp
wiring checked immediately.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine FUSES AND CIRCUIT BREAKER:
The head lamp circuit s are protected by a circuit breaker in the light switch.
An electrical overload on the breaker will cause the lamps to go on and off, or
in some cases to remain off. If this condition develops, have your wiring circuits checked immediately.
Fuses, located in the Junction Block beneath the dash on the driver's side are:

An Air Conditioning high blower speed fuse, 30 amp. is located in an
In-line fuse holder running from junction block to Air Conditioning relay.
Do not use fuses of higher amperage rating than those recommended above.
Fusible Links are incorporated into the wiring system. These are wires of such a gauge that they will fuse (or melt) before damage occurs to an entire
wiring harness in the event of an electrical overload. See your Chevrolet Dealer if fusible link replacement becomes necessary.
