Detailed Description

Standard Ignition CBS-1403 is engineered as a headlight dimmer switch for column-mounted systems where the driver controls high beam selection and related steering-column functions from one assembly. Copper alloy conductors are used to support strong electrical conductivity with low resistive loss, while the switch is 100% tested for mechanical and electrical performance before release. This part number, CBS-1403, is a practical replacement for Ford E-150, E-250, E-350 Super Duty, Ford Taurus, and Mercury Sable vehicles listed in the fitment data.
