Wiper Switch for GM Tilt Steering Applications

The Standard Ignition DS-1586 is a direct-fit wiper switch built for select Chevrolet and GMC trucks and SUVs with tilt steering wheel configurations. It uses copper alloy conductors for strong electrical transfer and is 100% tested for mechanical and electrical switching performance.

• Direct attachment method for straightforward replacement
• Black, silver finish with aluminum and plastic construction
• 1 rectangular male connector
• 7 blade-style male terminals
• Displayed design for factory-style control layout
• Built for intermittent and pulse wiper applications where listed

Detailed Product Overview

Standard Ignition DS-1586 is a wiper switch replacement for GM steering column applications where the original switch has worn contacts, intermittent operation, or failed mode selection. It is listed for 1988-1991 Chevrolet Blazer, 1988-1991 Chevrolet R1500 Suburban, R2500 Suburban, R3500, V1500 Suburban, V2500 Suburban, and V3500, plus select 1988-1991 GMC Jimmy, R1500 Suburban, R2500 Suburban, R3500, V1500 Suburban, V2500 Suburban, and V3500 configurations. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Standard Ignition focuses on service-grade electrical components, and this DS-1586 wiper switch reflects that approach with tested switching performance and conductive materials chosen to reduce resistive loss. It is a practical replacement for Chevrolet Blazer and GMC Jimmy models where the steering-column switch must match the vehicle’s tilt-wheel or pulse-wiper setup.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Wipers that do not activate from the column switch
• Intermittent wiper speeds that stop working correctly
• Failed washer or wiper mode selection at the steering column
• Electrical contact wear inside the original switch
• Loose or unreliable switch operation in tilt-wheel GM trucks and SUVs

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s steering wheel and wiper configuration before ordering, since fitment varies by tilt wheel, tilt steering wheel, pulse wipers, and intermittent wipers. Confirm the connector style, 7 blade terminals, and direct attachment layout against the original part. For best results, compare the existing switch and vehicle options before installation on a Chevrolet Blazer, GMC Jimmy, or other listed GM truck/SUV application.

Quality Assurance

DS-1586 is manufactured with robust materials and copper alloy conductors, then tested for both mechanical and electrical switching performance to help ensure consistent operation in service.
