Radio

The radio receives battery voltage at all times on circuit 640 through fuse E1-E2 in order to keep the clock and preset memory alive when the ignition is in the OFF position. The radio is grounded through circuit 351. When the ignition is in the ACCY or RUN position, the following actions occur:

    • Voltage is applied to circuit 43 through fuse J7-J8 in order to enable the radio operation.
    • The vacuum florescent (VF) display illuminates in order to display the time or radio frequency setting with the ignition switch.

Radio Control Switch (Rear)

The radio control switch controls the volume, the station frequency, and the tape functions. The radio control switch receives power through circuit 43. When one of the radio control switches is pressed to the desired function, a network of series resistors allows a different volage output through circuit 1796 to the radio.
