MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH TESTING
PROCEDURESÐXJ
The multi-function switch contains electrical cir-
cuitry for:
²Headlamp Dimmer Switch.
²Passing Lights.
²Turn Signals.
²Hazard Warning.
²Windshield Wiper.
²Pulse Wiper.
²Windshield Washer.
This integrated switch is mounted to the left hand
side of the steering column. Should any function of
the switch fail, the entire switch must be replaced.
The multi-function switch also serves as a fog lamp
lock-out circuit. The circuit to the fog lamp switch is
completed only when the dimmer switch is in the low
beam position.
SWITCH TEST
(1) Disconnect battery negative cable.
(2) Remove lower instrument panel screws along
bottom edge of steering column (Fig. 1).
(3) Remove lower instrument panel/knee blocker.
(4) Remove tilt lever.
(5) Remove upper and lower column shrouds to
gain access to the switch connector (Fig. 2).
(6) Remove lower fixed column shroud.
(7) Loosen steering column upper bracket nuts. Do
not remove nuts.
(8) Move upper fixed column shroud to gain access
to rear of multi-function switch.
(9) Remove switch connector (Fig. 3 and 4).

and tape a line on the wall at the centerline of the
vehicle. Sight along the centerline of the vehicle
(from rear of vehicle forward) to verify accuracy of
the line placement.
(4) Rock vehicle side-to-side three times to allow
suspension to stabilize.
(5) Jounce front suspension three times by pushing
downward on front bumper and releasing.
(6) Measure the distance from the center of head-
lamp lens to the floor. Transfer measurement to the
alignment screen (with tape). Use this line for up/
down adjustment reference.
(7) Measure distance from the centerline of the ve-
hicle to the center of each headlamp being aligned.
Transfer measurements to screen (with tape) to each
side of vehicle centerline. Use these lines for left/
right adjustment reference.

to the pattern depicted in Figure 1.
When using a headlamp aiming screen:
²Adjust the headlamps so that the beam horizontal
position is at 0.
²Adjust the beam vertical position is 25 mm (1 in)
downward from the lamp horizontal centerline.
(6) Rotate the horizontal adjustment screw until
the headlamp beam pattern on the aiming screen/
wall similar to the pattern in Figure 1.
(7) Cover front of the headlamp that has been ad-
justed and adjust the other headlamp beam as in-
structed above.
