The windshield wiper and washer switches are contained in the multi-function switch assembly. The multi-function switch assembly is secured to
the left side of the steering column. A knob on the end of the multi-function switch stalk is rotated to select the desired wiper speed or intermittent
wipe delay, or depressed toward the steering column to activate the washer system.
The multi-function switch contains circuitry for the following functions:
-
Turn signals
-
Hazard warning
-
Headlamp beam selection
-

-
Windshield wipers
-
Windshield washers.
The information contained addresses only the switch functions for the windshield wiper and washer systems. However, the multi-function switch
cannot be repaired. If any function of the multi-function switch is faulty, or if the switch is damaged, the entire switch assembly must be replaced.
