HEADLAMPS
The headlamp switch has three positions: ON,
PARK (parking lamps) and OFF. Circuit A3 from fuse
5 in the PDC connects to the headlamp switch and
feeds the circuit L7 through fuse 15 in the fuse block.
Circuit L7 connects to the headlamp switch.
Circuit A3 also splices to feed circuit L11 through
fuse 4 in the fuse block. Circuit L11 connects to the
dimmer switch circuitry in the multi-function switch.
Circuit A3 from fuse 5 in the PDC supplies battery
voltage to the headlamp switch. The headlamp switch
has an internal circuit breaker that connects circuit
A3 to circuit F34. Circuit F34 connects to the dimmer
switch circuitry in the multi-function switch.
HEADLAMP SWITCH IN OFF OR PARKING
LAMP POSITION
Circuit L11 connects to the dimmer switch portion
of the multi-function switch. Circuit L11 supplies
power for the high beams on circuit L3 when the
operator flashes the headlamps with the turn signal
stalk of the multi-function switch.
HEADLAMP SWITCH IN ON POSITION
When the headlamp switch is in the ON position,
circuit A3 from fuse 5 in the Power Distribution Cen-
ter (PDC) connects to circuit F34. Circuit F34 con-
nects to the dimmer switch portion of the multi-
function switch and feeds circuit L4. Circuit L4
powers the low beam of the headlamps.
When the operator selects high beam operation
with the turn signal stalk of the multi-function
switch, circuit L11 connects to the L3 circuit. Circuit
L3 powers high beam operation.
HEADLAMP GROUND
Circuit Z1 provides ground for both the right and
left headlamps. Circuit Z1 also supplies ground for
the fog lamps, if equipped.
HELPFUL INFORMATION
²Check fuse 5 in the PDC.
²The headlamp switch has an internal circuit
breaker.
PARKING LAMPS
Circuit A3 from fuse 5 in the Power DistributionCenter (PDC) connects to a bus bar in the fuse block
which feeds circuit L7. Fuse 15 in the fuse block
protects circuit L7.
The headlamp switch has three positions: ON,
PARK (parking lamps) and OFF, plus a dimmer
switch. When the headlamp switch is in the PARK or
ON position, the switch connects circuit L7 to circuit
L90. From the headlamp switch, circuit L90 branches
to power the front parking lamps and rear tail lamps,
side marker lamps, and rear license plate lamps.
GROUND CIRCUIT
Circuit Z1 provides a ground for the parking lamps
and turn signal lamps. The Z1 circuit also provide
ground for the headlamps.
HELPFUL INFORMATION
²Check fuse 5 in the PDC.
²Check fuse 15 in the fuse block.
²When the headlamp switch is in the PARK or ON
position, the dimmer circuit, L7, also connects to cir-
cuit E2. Circuit E2 continues through fuse 19 in the
fuse block. Circuit E2 powers the illumination lamps.
FOG LAMPS
The fog lamps are controlled by the fog lamp
switch, park lamp relay and high beam relay. The fog
lamps operate only when the headlamp switch is in
the ON position, and the operator has selected low-
beam operation. When the headlamps are in high-
beam operation, the fog lamps will not operate.
Circuit F39 from fuse 5 in the Power Distribution
Center (PDC) supplies voltage to the contact side of
the park lamp relay.
Circuit L90 supplies power to the coil side of the
park lamp relay. Circuit L35 connects to the coil side
of the relay and to circuit Z1 through the fog lamp
switch. Ground for the coil side of the relay is pro-
vided on circuit Z1 through the fog lamp switch.
When the fog lamp switch closes, the park lamp
relay contacts close and circuit F39 passes through
the relay to power the contact side of the high beam
relay. When the headlamp high beams are OFF, the
high beam relay is not energized and voltage flows
through the normally closed contacts to circuit L39.
J8W-50 FRONT LIGHTINGÐXJ VEHICLES 8W - 50 - 1
Circuit L39 supplies voltage to the fog lamps. Cir-
cuit Z1 provides ground for the fog lamps.
If the high beam lamps are ON, circuit G465 ener-
gizes the high beam relay. When the high beam relay
energizes, the contacts open and power is not sup-
plied to the fog lamps. Circuit Z1 provides ground for
the coil side of the high beam relay.
Circuit E2 provides voltage for the illumination
lamp in the fog lamp switch.
HELPFUL INFORMATION
²Circuit L3 splices to power circuit G465. Circuit
L3 powers the high beam circuit of the headlamps.
HEADLAMP DELAY MODULE
When the operator turns off the ignition switch and
the headlamp switch, the headlamp delay module
powers the headlamps for approximately 45 seconds.
When the ignition switch is in the RUN position,
circuit A21 powers circuit F87 through fuse 17 in the
fuse block. Circuit F87 supplies the IGNITION ON/
OFF signal to the headlamp delay module. Circuit Z1
provides ground for the module.
When the headlamp delay module activates, it con-
nects circuit X4 from fuse 11 in the fuse block to cir-
cuit F34. Circuit F34 powers the headlamps through
the headlamp dimmer switch circuit L3.
HELPFUL INFORMATION
Circuit A7 from fuse 3 in the PDC supplies voltage
to the fuse block bus bar that powers circuit X4
through the fuse in cavity 11.
DAYTIME RUNNING LAMP (DRL) MODULE
On vehicles built for sale in Canada, the low-beam
headlamps operate when the ignition switch is in the
RUN position.
When the ignition switch is in the RUN position,
circuit A1 from fuse 6 in the Power Distribution Cen-
ter (PDC), connects to circuit A21. Circuit A21 splices
to supply power to the DRL module.
Circuit A3 from fuse 5 in the PDC connects to DRL
module. Circuit A3 is HOT at all times.The DRL module receives the vehicle speed sensor
input from circuit G7. Circuit G465 from the DRL
module splices to circuit L3 to provide power for the
high beam indicator lamp in the instrument cluster.
Circuit L4 powers the low beams of the left and
right headlamps. When the headlamp switch is OFF,
the DRL module powers the low beams on circuit L4.
When the headlamps are ON, the dimmer switch in
the multi-function switch powers the low beams on
circuit L4.
Circuit L3 feeds the high beams of the headlamps.
When the operator flashes the headlamps with the
stalk of the multi-function switch, the DRL senses
voltage on circuit L3. When it senses voltage on cir-
cuit L3, the DRL module stops supplying power to
the low beams on circuit L4.
Circuit Z12 provides ground for the DRL module.
