Ranger 2WD V6-245 4.0L VIN X SFI (1997)
Headlamp Dimmer Switch: Description and Operation
The multi-function switch is mounted to the LH side of the steering column and controls the following:
^
turn signal
^
windshield wiper/washer control
^
headlamp dimmer/flash-to-pass
^
Turn Signal
The multi-function switch also operates the headlamp dimmer switch and the flash-to-pass feature. High beam or Auto-Dim (optional) is selected by
moving the turn signal lever away from the driver to the stop. Releasing the lever will maintain high beams or Auto-Dim (optional). Low beam is
selected by moving the turn signal lever toward the driver from the high beam position. Releasing the lever will maintain low beams.
To operate the flash-to-pass feature, pull the turn signal lever gently toward the driver. When the turn signal lever is released, it will return to the LO
beam position. If driving without headlamps on, use of the flash-to-pass feature will turn on the high beams until the turn signal lever is released. If the
headlamps are turned on, the low and high beams will be on until the turn signal lever is released.
NOTE: Excessive force used to hold the turn signal lever in the flash-to-pass function followed by quick release can result in incorrect headlamp dimmer
selection of high beam. The driver must be cautioned to avoid this condition.
