Battery positive voltage, from Circuit Breaker 16 located in the I/P fuse block, is supplied at all times to the high and low beam headlamps and all of the headlamp relays. With the headlamp switch in the ON position, ground from G400 is applied through the headlamp switch headlamp ON control circuit energizing the LIGHTING relay. With the relay energized, ground from G400 is applied through the switch side of the headlamp hi/lo beam relay, the switch side of the lighting relay and the headlamp control circuit illuminating the low beam headlamps. When the dimmer switch is placed in the HIGH beam position, ground from G400 is applied through the headlamp high/low beam relay control circuit energizing the HEADLAMP HI/LO BEAM relay. With the relay energized, ground from G400 is applied through the switch side of the relay and the high beam control circuits illuminating the high beam headlamps. Also with the dimmer switch in the high beam position, ground from G400 is also applied through the control circuit energizing the HEADLAMP HI BEAM relay. With the relay energized, battery voltage from Circuit Breaker 16 is applied through the high beam indicator control circuit illuminating the instrument panel cluster (IPC) high beam indicator.
