Detailed Description

This Standard Ignition DS-811 wiper switch is engineered for older GM trucks, SUVs, and passenger cars that require a precise windshield wiper control replacement. It is listed for applications such as 1987 Chevrolet Blazer, 1984-1986 Chevrolet C10, and 1988-1990 GMC R3500, with fitment notes that vary by tilt wheel and intermittent or pulse wiper equipment. The robust housing and copper alloy conductors support consistent electrical transfer, while the switch is tested to verify both mechanical action and electrical function. This part cross-references Standard Motor Products (e.g., DS-811) for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Inoperative windshield wiper switch operation
• Intermittent loss of wiper control
• Wipers that do not respond to switch input
• Electrical switching issues caused by worn internal contacts
• Fitment problems on vehicles requiring the correct tilt-wheel and non-pulse-wiper configuration

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s steering column and wiper system before ordering. This DS-811 application coverage includes vehicles without tilt wheel and pulse wipers in many cases, while some GMC listings require tilt steering wheel and no intermittent wipers. Confirm connector style, terminal count, and the exact year/model notes against the vehicle before installation. Fits 1981-1991 Chevrolet and GMC applications only where the listed configuration matches the vehicle.

Quality Assurance

Standard Ignition builds this switch with durable materials and tests each unit for mechanical and electrical switching performance before release.
