Detailed Product Overview

This Standard Ignition CBS-1179 combination switch is built for vehicles that use a multi-function steering column control for lighting, wipers, turn signals, and cruise control inputs. For Pontiac Grand Prix models in the listed years, it provides the switching functions needed to manage headlight dimming and related driver controls from one assembly. The design uses high-grade materials and copper alloy conductors to support consistent signal transfer in daily service.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Intermittent or inoperative high beam switching
• Turn signal or directional indicator control failure
• Windshield wiper delay or speed control issues
• Cruise control switch input problems at the column
• Washer spray or multi-function switch response concerns

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector style, terminal count, and vehicle year before installation. This CBS-1179 uses a bolt-on mounting style with male and female blade terminals, so the replacement should match the original column switch configuration on the Pontiac Grand Prix. Confirm that the vehicle is equipped with the listed cruise control and combination-switch features before ordering.

Quality Assurance

Standard Ignition states that each CBS-1179 switch is 100% tested for both mechanical action and electrical switching performance. The part is new and built to meet the demands of professional service replacement.
