Figure 3-10—Schematic diagram.
The positive side of the 12-volt battery is connected to the starter solenoid, then to terminal B of the
voltage regulator, and then down to point (1). (It should be noted that points (1), (2), (3), and so on,
normally are not indicated on the schematic. They are shown here only to help you follow the diagram.)
Therefore, if no faults are in the system, point (1) has a 12-volt positive potential at all times. This
positive potential can be traced through the fuse to the OFF position of the light switch. The dashed line
indicates the mechanical linkage of the switch. When the switch is pulled to the first position (park), +12
volts are applied to point (2). It can now be seen that the tail lights (T), the tag light, the side panel lights,
