Dimmer Switch

The first step for repairing or servicing the headlamp dimmer switch begins with removing the steering column opening cover that attaches through instrument panel tabs when you pull it straight outward. You should first press inward on both sides of the upper steering column shroud while lifting it upward before completely removing it from the assembly. Unlock the tilt lever then drain the shroud by taking out its three retaining screws. Finally pull the shroud off. Pull the electrical connector from the multifunction switch before removing its attaching screws to extract the switch. Install the system by doing the opposite of what was done during dismantling.

The first step to repair or service an instrument panel dimmer switch is to eliminate its finish panel from the side of the instrument panel. To detach the switch you must push it from the rear side followed by tab release to extract the headlamp switch assembly while disconnecting its electrical wires. The instrument panel dimmer switch can be removed through the release of four tabs. The installation of the new switch requires the same step-by-step reversal of the removal actions.

The service and repair process for the instrumental panel dimmer switch starts by removing the instrument panel side finish panel followed by disconnecting the vehicle battery. A person servicing the multi-function switch should first push the switch release behind it then let go of the tabs that will free the assembly from its setup and disconnect the electrical wiring. The four tabs need to be released in order to remove the instrument panel dimmer switch. The installation of the new switch should follow every step in reverse order to the removal process.

Begin by disconnecting the battery ground cable.
