Compatible With 2012-2015 Subaru Impreza, 2014-2016 Subaru Forester, 2015-2016 Subaru WRX, and 2015-2016 Subaru WRX STI in configurations without fog lights and without automatic headlights.

  • Black plastic finish with displayed indicator markings

  • Includes main light, running light, turn signal, and latching high beam operators
  • Clip attachment method for OE-style mounting

Detailed Description

This Standard Ignition CBS2436 switch is designed for Subaru vehicles that use a combination lighting and signal control on the steering column. It manages headlight dimming, main lighting, running lights, and turn signal operation through a single switch assembly, while the latching high beam function supports normal beam selection. The black plastic housing and visible indicator markings match the functional layout expected in these applications.

This part cross-references Subaru 83115FJ040 for the same application. It is also listed under interchange part number CBS2436 for Standard Ignition and related replacement references.

What It Is Used For

  • Restoring headlight dimmer control when the original switch wears out
  • Correcting intermittent or inoperative turn signal operation
  • Replacing a switch with damaged indicator markings or worn contacts
  • Addressing loss of main light or running light control from the column switch
  • Replacing a faulty high beam latch function on Subaru steering column controls

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify vehicle configuration before ordering: this switch is listed for Subaru Forester, WRX, WRX STI, and Impreza applications without fog lights and without automatic headlights. Confirm the connector shape, terminal count, and switch layout against the original part before installation. Because this is a steering column electrical component, disconnect the battery and follow the vehicle service procedure before removal and replacement.

Quality Assurance

Standard Ignition supplies this as a new replacement electrical switch for direct-fit service in the listed Subaru applications. The part is built with the specified connector, terminal, and function layout to match the original equipment style used in these vehicles.
