Headlight Switch

The headlight switch is located on the dash (Fig. 9). This

rocker switch allows the headlights to be turned ON and

OFF.

Testing

1. Park vehicle on a level surface, shut engine off and

engage the parking brake. Remove key from the key

switch.

2. Raise hood to allow access to wire harness connec-

tions for switches mounted in dash.

3. Disconnect wire harness connector from the head-

light switch.

4. With the use of a multimeter (ohms setting), the

switch functions may be tested to determine whether

continuity exists between the various terminals for each

headlight switch position. The headlight switch termi-

nals are marked as shown in Figure 9. The circuitry of

this switch is shown in the chart below. Verify continuity

between switch terminals.

5. Replace headlight switch if testing determines that

the switch is faulty.

6. If headlight switch tests correctly and circuit problem

still exists, check wire harness (see electrical schematic

and wire harness drawing in Chapter 7 − Electrical

Drawings).

7. After headlight switch testing is complete, connect

wire harness connector to the headlight switch. Lower

and secure front hood.
