Steering Column Switches
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Lincoln Town Car. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The steering column switches consist of the following:
- The multifunction switch
- The ignition switch
The steering column switches receive driver inputs and send signals to various components. The integrated multifunction switch is mounted to the LH side of the steering column and controls the turn signals, headlamp low/high beam, headlamp dimmer/flash-to-pass, hazard warning, cornering lamps and windshield washer/wipers. The ignition switch is also mounted to the LH side of the steering column and is used in conjunction with the lock cylinder key to start the vehicle. When the lock cylinder key is switched to different positions, it moves linkages which enable the ignition switch to send battery voltage to various components.
