Detailed Description

The CBS-2151 is a headlight dimmer switch engineered for Volkswagen steering-column control applications that use a combination switch layout. It features a male rectangular plug connector with two connector cavities, female pin terminals, and a bolt-on mounting style for a secure electrical and mechanical connection. This Standard Ignition CBS-2151 is listed for Volkswagen CC and Volkswagen Passat applications, including 2009-2010 Volkswagen CC and Passat models with trip computer controls and sport steering wheel, plus 2011-2017 Volkswagen CC and 2012-2014 Volkswagen Passat configurations noted without lane departure warning and without cruise control.

This part cross-references DL7551 and SW9229 for the same application. The CBS-2151 is a practical replacement when the original column switch no longer provides consistent headlight dimming, turn signal operation, or high-beam control.

What It Helps Fix

• Intermittent or inoperative high-beam switching
• Turn signal control problems at the steering column
• Dimmer switch failure affecting headlight beam selection
• Worn or damaged combination switch contacts
• Loss of steering-column lighting control functions
