WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Ford Pickup, 2004 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2004 Ford F450 Super Duty, 2004 Ford Excursion, and 2004 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The steering column switches system consists of the following components:
- multifunction switch
- key release lever (manual transmission only)
- ignition switch
The integrated multifunction switch is mounted to the LH side of the steering column and controls the turn signal, headlamp dimmer/flash-to-pass, windshield wiper/washer and hazard warning.
The ignition switch is mounted below the steering column and is activated using the ignition key and rotating the ignition switch lock cylinder on the steering column.
If equipped with manual transmission, the key release button prevents rotation of the ignition switch lock cylinder to LOCK or ACC positions unless the key release button is depressed.
For removal and installation of the key release interlock actuator, refer to STEERING COLUMN .
