• Includes main light operator, latching high beam operator, and momentary high beam flasher
• Includes turn signal control and indicator markings
• Includes cruise control cancel, on/off, resume, set, and speed adjustment functions
• 12-volt electrical design
• New part with 100% tested mechanical and electrical switching performance
• Copper alloy conductors for strong electrical conductivity and low resistive loss

Detailed Description

Standard Ignition CBS-1168 is engineered as a replacement headlight dimmer switch for vehicles that rely on integrated lighting and cruise control controls. It is built with copper alloy conductors and tested for both mechanical action and electrical switching performance, helping maintain consistent signal transfer through the switch assembly. This part cross-references Standard Ignition CBS-1168 for the same application and is listed for 1994-1995 Oldsmobile Achieva and 1994-1995 Pontiac Grand Am models with daytime running lights and cruise control configurations.

What This Part Helps Address

• Intermittent or inoperative high beam switching
• Loss of turn signal control at the steering column switch
• Faulty cruise control cancel, set, resume, or on/off inputs
• Dimmer switch electrical wear causing inconsistent headlight operation
• Problems related to daytime running light control on listed GM applications

Installation Notes and Tips

• Compatible With 1994-1995 Oldsmobile Achieva, w/ Daytime Running Lights and w/ Cruise Control configurations listed in fitment
• Compatible With 1994-1995 Pontiac Grand Am, w/ DRL and w/ Cruise Control configurations listed in fitment
• Verify connector shape, terminal count, and switch functions against the original part before installation
• Use the bolt-on mounting points and confirm proper engagement of both connectors during service
• Check headlight, high beam, turn signal, and cruise control operation after installation

Quality Assurance

Standard Ignition builds this switch with service-grade materials and validates each unit through mechanical and electrical testing. The design uses copper alloy conductors to support stable conductivity in demanding electrical systems.
