Abstract
A direction indicator control circuit for a road vehicle has a switch means for operating the direction indicator lamps to indicate a turn, and a pulse generator operated by return movement of the steering wheel following completion of a turn, the pulse generator producing a pulse of fixed length which serves to cancel the switch means. A pair of switches are associated with each turning direction, each pair being successively operated by the turning of the steering wheel in one order during the initiation of a turn, and in the reverse order after the completion of the turn. The pulse generator produces the fixed length pulse only when the switches are actuated in the correct order, thereby eliminating erroneous turn indicator information.
