General information about on-board electrical equipment (Renault Symbol 1)

The electrical equipment of the car is made according to a single-wire scheme. The second wire is the current-conducting elements of the body, engine, other units and devices ("ground"). The negative terminals of the power sources are connected to the "ground" (battery and generator) and consumers. The voltage in the network is 12 V.

Bypassing the ignition switch and regardless of the position of the key in it, the power supply circuits of the side lights, interior lights, luggage compartment lights, hazard warning lights, horn, clock, cigarette lighter, radio, centralized door locking system and electric motor of the engine cooling system fan are constantly connected to the battery.
