• Wiper switch electrical contact wear
• Loss of proper column-mounted switch function
• Erratic wiper operation on select GM vehicles
• Replacement needs for aging original switch assemblies

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s steering column and wiper configuration before ordering, since fitment depends on tilt wheel, pulse wipers, and intermittent wiper equipment. Confirm the connector style, terminal count, and 12-volt system match the original part. For best results, compare the existing switch and connector layout to the DS-463 before installation.
