Headlamp Dimmer Switch: Description and Operation
Steering Column Switches
The multifunction switch is situated on the steering column and consists of the wiper switch and the direction indicator/main beam switch.
Direction Indicator/Main Beam Switch
The Direction Indicator/Main Beam switch is on the left-hand side of the steering column and controls the following functions.
Direction Indicators
The direction indicators:
^
Operate when the ignition switch is in position 11.
^
Are operated by moving the switch stalk up or down until it latches in position, to indicate a right or left turn respectively.
^
Can be operated while the switch stalk is held against spring pressure before reaching the latch position.
^
Cancel automatically upon completion of a turn. The column switch then returns to the center position.
An audible ticking and a flashing green warning lamp on the instrument cluster indicate that the direction indicators are operating. If an indicator bulb
fails, the warning lamp and ticking operate at twice the normal rate.
Main Beam
The main beam switch has two pull positions. Operating the switch to the first position and then releasing it will cause the main beam to flash. The
main beam can be flashed with the ignition on or off and will remain activated as long as the switch is held.
^
Operating the switch to the second position will operate main beam continuously if the headlamps are on.
