Detailed Description

Dorman 978-5201 is a console-mounted multi-function switch engineered for specific vehicle applications where the original control has worn, failed, or become inconsistent. It is built with quality materials for dependable operation and durability, and it uses a single black male connector with blade terminals for OE-style integration. The switch includes visible indicator markings in white and yellow to help identify functions at a glance.

This replacement switch supports hazard lights, latching high beams, momentary high-beam flashing, windshield washer spray, and windshield wiper delay control. It does not include cruise control, fog light, main light, or rear wiper functions, so it is important to verify the original switch layout before ordering. If you are sourcing a Dorman 978-5201 replacement for Honda Civic electrical repair work, confirm the connector style and switch functions against the original unit.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 577.46001, A0636956002) for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Intermittent or non-working windshield washer spray control
• Inconsistent windshield wiper delay operation
• Faulty hazard light switch function
• High-beam flash or latch control problems
• Worn, broken, or faded original steering-column switch markings

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the original connector shape, terminal style, and switch functions before installation. This is a specific-fit part, so it should be matched to the vehicle’s original equipment configuration rather than a universal switch layout. Confirm that the vehicle uses the same hazard, high-beam, washer, and intermittent wiper functions before replacing the assembly.

For best results, compare the original part number, connector color, and indicator layout with the replacement before beginning the repair. If the vehicle is a Honda Civic or another listed application, check the existing switch assembly for identical control positions and markings.

Quality Assurance

Dorman designs this switch to match original appearance and function on specified applications, using quality materials for reliable performance and durability. Part Number 978-5201 is built as an OE-style replacement for drivers who need a direct-fit electrical switch solution.
