Quick question about reading the EWD's

So I'm trying to do some diagnostics on some electrical components, and I have a quick question about one of the symbols that doesn't seem to be defined

Example:

If you look at the bottom for the fog lights, Off position should be continuity between 1 & 2, but whats the curly symbol? Does that mean continuity only when the Ign is on?

4 and 5 are the actual switch. 1 and 2 is the light in the switch. The curly thing represents a lamp filament. As you can see illumination is independent of the switch ie; it doesn't go on and off with the fog lights. It's there only to find the switch in the dark. Course, you could make it do whatever you want.

Kudos to you for trying to learn this stuff even if you have a ways to go

Aah ok makes perfect sense now, thanks jetjock

Funny part is my dad is a EE, i know enough about wiring diagrams and electronics to track down a problem or rewire things, but it's the symbols every once in awhile that are foreign to me

I fixed my turn signals, and tracked down the source of my headlights not going up/down, the diode in the assembly is bad

I'll probably just add a switch to manually give power to the 2 motors, instead of having to replace both motor assemblies!
