Switches
These switches move
together; the broken straight
line between them means the,

Other types of switches are
controlled by a coil or a solid
state circuit. Unless otherwise
noted. all switches are shown
in their normal (rest) position,
with power off.
This ground symbol (dot

component means the housing
of the component is grounded
to the car frame or to a metal
part connected to the frame.

Current rating
Diodes
A rectifier diode works like a one
way valve. lt allows current to
llow only in the direction of the
arrow.
A Zener diode blocks reverse
current at normal voltages just like
a rectifier diode. At high voltages.
however, a Zener diode allows
current to f low in reverse

Each "T" lerminal (ring type)
is numbered for reference and
location. A "T" terminal is
secured with a screw or bolt.
Shielding
This represents RFI
(Radio Frequency
Interference) shielding
around a wire. The
shielding is always
connected to ground.
