LIGHTING CON- EXTERIOR TURN SIGNAL TROL CONTROL STALK PANEL DIMMER SWITCH
8J - 2 TURN SIGNAL AND FLASHERS
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (Continued)
• Fog lamps, pull switch outward with headlamps
on low beam
• Panel dimmer, rotating dimmer switch regulates
density of the instrument panel illumination. There
are nine detentes (steps) of density. Detent 1 is full
brightness and each detent thereafter is lower. Test-
ing the dimmer switch using the continuity test, the
resistance value is measured for each detent. Detents
3 through 8 are measured in equal graduations, up
or down and referred to as linear. Example: if detent
3 was 5 ohms and detent 4 was 7 ohms detent 5
should be 9 ohms.
HAZARD WARNING SYSTEM
The hazard warning system is actuated by a push
button located on the top of the steering column
between the steering wheel and the instrument
panel. The hazard switch is identified with a double
triangle on top of the button. Push and release the
button to turn the hazard function ON or OFF. The

Combination Flasher Diagnosis.
MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH
(1) Remove multi-function switch, refer to removal
and installation procedures below.
(2) Using an ohmmeter, test for continuity (no
resistance) between the terminals of the switch as
shown in the following continuity charts (Fig. 3).
The switch assembly is mounted center of the
steering column. Should any function of the switch
fail, the entire switch assembly must be replaced.
