Key Features

• Black and white finish with plastic construction
• Male connector with 7 blade terminals
• Copper alloy conductors for low-resistance electrical flow
• 100% tested for mechanical and electrical switching performance
• Direct-fit replacement for select Chevrolet, GMC, Buick, Oldsmobile, and Pontiac models

Detailed Description

Built for service work on vintage GM platforms, the Standard Ignition DS-812 wiper switch is engineered for dependable operation in vehicles equipped with pulse wipers or intermittent wipers, depending on application. It is a practical replacement for Chevrolet G10, G20, G30, GMC G1500, G2500, G3500, and other listed models from 1981-1990, including select C/K trucks, Suburban variants, Blazer, Jimmy, and several passenger cars. This part number, DS-812, is also a useful cross-reference for common replacement searches on older GM steering column wiper controls.

This part cross-references 1S1055 and SW1050 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Wipers that do not activate from the switch
• Intermittent or pulse wiper functions that stop working correctly
• Loose, worn, or inconsistent switch operation
• Electrical contact issues caused by aging internal components
• Replacement needs on vehicles with no tilt wheel and the listed wiper setup
