multifunction turn Signal StalK
The information that follows covers the functions of the turn signal stalk, along with guidelines for installing additional lights
on chassis
Exterior lighting Circuit limits
The Turn Signal Stalk (TSM) is designed to operate within specific current limits for
•
headlamps
•
vehicle stop/turn signal lamps
•
trailer turn/vehicle forward side facing turn signal lamps
If the current limits for any of these circuits are exceeded, the TSM will default to a protection mode, causing the lamps to
not function properly but still providing sufficient lighting for safe operation of the vehicle.
The vehicle can exceed current ratings on a particular circuit in two ways
•
Installing too many lamps on a circuit
•
Using bulbs of excessive wattage
The following table is a recommended guideline to avoid exceeding the current limits of the TSM
taBle 6-2.

(3) #1156 or #1157 bulbs per side**
Right Stop/Turn Combination Lamps

(3) #1156 or #1157 bulbs per side**
*A maximum wattage of 65w should not be exceeded for either low or high beam headlamps
**The maximum number of lamps can be exceeded if LED lamps are used in place of incandescent bulbs LED type lamps
draw far less current, but in any case, all lamps must not exceed the TSM current limits
