Ford Taurus Multi-Function Switch Internal Schematic - Lamp Circuits & Wire Colors

Lamp-portion schematic of the multi-function (turn-signal) switch showing normal/hazard, turn left/right, cornering, dimmer and flash-to-pass paths with circuit numbers and wire colors.

This document is an internal schematic of the lamp portion of a Ford multi-function switch (the steering-column switch controlling turn signals, hazard flashers, headlamp dimmer/flash-to-pass, and cornering lamps). The dashed outline represents the switch itself, with internal contact sets shown for the NORMAL/HAZARD selector, TURN LEFT/TURN RIGHT lever positions, the CORNERING lamp contacts, and the DIMMER/FLASH-TO-PASS (HI/LO/PASS) contacts. External circuits are identified by circuit number and wire color: top feeds are 44 (LB), 810 (R/LG) into terminal 511, 298 (P/O) into the IGN terminal, 383 (R/W) into terminal 49, and 385 (W/R) into the BAT terminal. Left-side circuits are 196 (DB/O) and 15 (R/Y). Bottom output circuits are 12 (LG/BK), 13 (R/BK), 380 (P/Y), 379 (BR/W), 3 (LG/W), 5 (O/LB), 9 (LG/O), and 2 (W/LB). A reader can use this diagram to identify which switch terminals should show continuity in each lever position, trace wire colors at the switch connector, and diagnose turn signal, hazard, headlamp high/low beam, flash-to-pass, or cornering lamp faults attributable to the multi-function switch. The document itself is undated and does not state a model.

Frequently asked questions

What wire colors connect to the multi-function switch lamp circuits?
Top: 44 (LB), 810 (R/LG), 298 (P/O), 383 (R/W), 385 (W/R). Left: 196 (DB/O), 15 (R/Y). Bottom: 12 (LG/BK), 13 (R/BK), 380 (P/Y), 379 (BR/W), 3 (LG/W), 5 (O/LB), 9 (LG/O), 2 (W/LB).
Which functions are handled by the lamp portion of the multi-function switch?
The schematic shows NORMAL/HAZARD flasher selection, TURN LEFT/TURN RIGHT signals, CORNERING lamp contacts, and the DIMMER with FLASH-TO-PASS (HI/LO/PASS) headlamp functions.
Which circuit feeds the BAT terminal of the switch?
Circuit 385 (W/R) connects to the terminal labeled BAT; circuit 298 (P/O) connects to the IGN terminal.
What circuit connects to switch terminal 511?
Circuit 810 (R/LG) enters the switch at the terminal marked 511.
