The light bar lamp switch is used only on vehicles equipped with the optional light bar and off road lamps. The light bar lamp switch is mounted in the driver side outboard trim bezel on the instrument panel. Only the switch bezel and rocker are visible on the outer surface of the instrument panel trim bezel. The black plastic switch rocker is marked with an icon that is similar in appearance to the International Control and Display Symbol icon for "High Beam", but has an additional curved line beneath it to represent the forward roofline of the vehicle. The icon is illuminated when the exterior lighting is turned On. See Fig 1.

The black, molded plastic switch housing encloses the momentary switch rocker mechanism and the switch circuitry including an integral relay and active electronic elements. A connector receptacle is integral to the back of the switch housing, while a two integral latch features on the top and bottom of the housing secure the switch in the instrument panel trim bezel. The switch is connected to the vehicle electrical system through a dedicated take out and connector of the instrument panel wire harness.

The light bar lamp switch cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the unit must be replaced.
