Deck lift circuit

Basic Operation: See Figure 7.39.
1. Battery power goes through the top 30A fuse in the
fuse box. It then flows through the orange wire until
it reaches the deck lift harness connector. It then
passes onto the red wire with a white trace. The red
white with a white trace carries the power to the
N.O. contacts of the deck lift relays.
2. Both of the deck lift relays have the N.C. contact
connected to ground. This sends a ground signal to
both sides of the deck lift actuator.
3. When the ignition key is moved to any position other
than "OFF", power is sent to the deck lift switch
through a red wire with a white trace.
4. The deck lift switch is a Single Pole Double Throw
(SPDT) center off switch. This means it has one
common terminal (single pole) that can be con-
nected to two different circuits (double throw). When
the switch is at rest, the common terminal is not
connected to either circuit (center off).
5. When the deck lift switch is moved to the "UP" posi-
tion:
• The "UP" relay is energized by the white wire
with a black trace.
• Battery power is sent to the actuator through the brown wire.
• The "DOWN" relay remains at rest, allowing the ground path to pass through it to the purple wire, complet-
ing the circuit.
6. When the deck lift switch is moved to the "DOWN" position:
• The "DOWN" relay is energized by the black wire with a white trace.
• Battery power is sent to the actuator through the purple wire.
• The "UP" relay remains at rest, allowing the ground path to pass through it to the brown wire, completing
the circuit.
