Common Problems This Switch Can Address

• Headlights that do not switch between low beam and high beam correctly
• Intermittent or inoperative turn-signal or directional indicator control
• Faulty cruise-control switch inputs at the steering column
• Fog light, running light, or main light control issues
• Worn or inconsistent multifunction switch operation

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector style, terminal count, and vehicle-specific notes before installation. This CBS-1424 uses a bolt-on attachment method and a female rectangular connector, so the replacement should be matched carefully to the original switch layout. Confirm whether the vehicle is equipped with rear fog lights, auto headlights, or fog lights where noted in the fitment data. For Chevrolet Corvette, Cadillac STS, and Cadillac XLR applications, compare the original switch functions to the replacement before final assembly.
