Detailed Description

Standard Ignition CBS-1003 is a headlight dimmer switch for vehicles that use a combination switch layout to control exterior lighting and turn signals from the steering column. It is a direct electrical replacement for Nissan D21, Pathfinder, Sentra, and 720 applications listed below, including 1986-1993 Nissan D21, 1987-1993 Nissan Pathfinder, 1990 Nissan Sentra, and 1986 Nissan 720 without intermittent wipers and without cruise control. This part number, CBS-1003, cross-references Beck/Arnley 201-1869 and Rostra Powertrain Controls 64-0045 for the same application.

What It Is Used For

  • Restoring headlight dimmer operation when high beams do not latch or flash correctly
  • Fixing turn signal control issues at the steering column
  • Replacing a worn combination switch with damaged internal contacts
  • Addressing intermittent main light switching or inconsistent beam selection
  • Correcting indicator marking wear that makes switch positions hard to read
