Headlamp Switch: Description and Operation

The headlamp switch module is located on the instrument panel. The headlamp switch controls the parking lamps, and the headlamps. A separate switch in the module controls the interior lamps and instrument cluster illumination. This switch also contains a rheostat for controlling the illumination level of the cluster lamps.

The headlamp switch has an OFF position, a parking lamp position, and a headlamp ON position. High beams are controlled by the multifunction switch on the steering column. The headlamp switch cannot be repaired. It must be replaced.
