Dimmer Combination Switch

The combination (light/dimmer/turn signal) switch lever controls the operation of both low beam and high beam headlamps. The combination (light/dimmer/turn signal) switch lever is located on the left side of the steering column. With the headlamps activated, pushing the turn signal/dimmer switch lever forward into the detent position changes the headlamps from low beam to high beam operation. Pulling the lever back to the center position will return the headlamps from high beam operation to low beam operation.

With the lighting system in either the OFF, parking lamp or low beam headlamp setting, pulling the lever rearward will cause the high beam headlamps to illuminate. Releasing the lever (allowing it to return to the center position) returns the system to the previous setting (OFF, parking lamps or low beam headlamps). This Flash-to-Pass feature allows the driver to signal the driver of another vehicle his intention to pass.

Refer to SRS Standard Steering Wheel and Column or SRS Tilt Steering Wheel and Column for combination switch removal and installation procedures.
