Combination Switch

The combination switch is on the steering column. The combination switch consists of 2 levers.

The combination switch and levers are replaced only as a assembly. For combination switch removal and installation procedures, refer to Inflatable Restraint Steering Wheel Module Coil Replacement in Restraint Systems.

The first lever is the light/turn signal switch which is on the left side of the steering column.

A twist type knob on the end of the light/turn signal switch controls the operation of the parking lamps and the headlamps.

When the parking lamps or the headlamps are activated, the following exterior lamps illuminate:
- The tail lamps
- The side marker lamps
- The license plate lamps

When either the parking lamps or headlamps are activated, the following interior component lamps illuminate:
- The instrument panel cluster assembly
- The heater control unit
- The radio
- The cigar lighter
- The ashtray
- The manual selector

The light/turn signal switch (combination lever) controls both the low-beam and high-beam headlamp operations.

Activate the headlamps and push the light/turn signal switch lever rearward into the detent position in order to change the headlamps from low-beam to high-beam operation. Pull the lever back to the center position in order to return the headlamps to the low-beam operation.

With the lighting system in either the OFF, the parklamp, or the low-beam headlamp setting, pull the light/turn signal switch lever forward in order to illuminate the high-beam headlamps. Release the lever to the center position in order to return the system to the previous setting. This is the flash-to-pass feature. Move the lever up and down in order to control the turn signals.

The second lever is the windshield wiper/washer switch and the cruise control mode switch, if equipped. This lever is located on the right side of the steering column.
