    Q:
    How to Address Issues with the Dimmer Switch on a Lincoln Town Car? Posted by Customer
    A:
    The first step for servicing and repairing the headlamp dimmer switch requires a battery disconnection. The first step to remove the ignition switch lock cylinder is to use an ignition key to turn it to "RUN" position before using a punch to push the release tab while pulling the cylinder out. Service and repair of the headlamp dimmer switch begins with disconnecting the battery before taking off the tilt wheel handle and shank. Next, use two hands to push sides of the upper shroud and unfasten the three screws from the lower shroud. Three electrical connectors need removal from the multifunction switch before removing its two mounting screws. The installation ends by performing the reverse steps of removal.

    How to service and repair the headlamp dimmer switch on Lincoln Town Car? Posted by Customer
    A:
    Grounding out the battery is the first step to work on the headlamp dimmer switch for repair purposes. The service begins with removing the tilt release lever/handle from the system. The service of the headlamp dimmer switch requires technicians to first uninstall both steering column shrouds by removing three screws after pressing inward on their sides. Tighten these screws to 2 Nm (18 inch lbs) before reinstalling. First disconnect the multi-function switch electrical connectors, proceed by removing the two screws then fasten the switch to 3 Nm (27 inch lbs) torque during assembly. The completion of the process requires performing the removal method in reverse order.

    Q:
    How to service and repair the headlamp dimmer switch and steering column multifunction switch on Mercury Grand Marquis? Posted by Customer
    A:
    A mandatory first step in servicing the steering column multifunction switch along with the headlamp dimmer switch is to disable the supplemental restraint system (SRS). First deploy the ignition switch lock cylinder to RUN in position and utilize the appropriate tool to push on the release tab while drawing the lock cylinder away from the housing. After removing the tilt release lever you must push the sides of the upper steering column shroud to allow its release. Tighten the three upper and lower steering column shrouds using a torque of 2 Nm (18 inch lbs.) after completing the installation. First disconnect the three electrical multi-function switch connectors before removing its attachment screws while reinstalling them tight to 3 Nm (27 inch lbs.). Follow up with the reverse order of removal to complete the operation while powering up the SRS system.
