Steering Column Switches

Steering Column Switches

The steering column switches consist of the following components:

- LH multifunction switch
- RH multifunction switch
- Ignition switch

The steering column switches receive driver inputs and send signals to various components.

The multifunction switch consists of 2 separate switches, one mounted to each side of the steering column. The multifunction switch mounted to the LH side of the steering column controls the turn signals and headlamp dimmer/flash-to-pass. The multifunction switch mounted to the RH side of the steering column controls the windshield wiper/washer.

The ignition switch is used in conjunction with the lock cylinder key to start the vehicle. When the lock cylinder key is switched to different positions, it moves linkages which enable the ignition switch to send battery voltage to various components.
