Detailed Description

Standard Ignition DS-936 is engineered for service professionals who need a reliable steering-column switch for Ford E-Series vans. The internal design uses copper alloy conductors to reduce resistive loss and support stable electrical transfer across the switch contacts. With 100% testing of both mechanical action and electrical switching, this part is built to restore consistent control of the vehicle’s lighting and wiper functions.

This DS-936 switch serves as a combination switch with turn signal control, high beam flash, latching high beam operation, windshield washer spray, windshield wiper delay settings, and windshield wiper speed settings. It is a direct replacement for select Ford E-150, E-250, E-350, and E-350 Super Duty models, including 1997-2004 Ford E-150 Econoline, 1997-2002 Ford E-250 Econoline, and 1999-2004 Ford E-350 Super Duty. This part cross-references T Series DS936T for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Intermittent or inoperative high beam switching
• Turn signal control problems from a worn column switch
• Windshield wiper delay or speed selection issues
• Washer spray activation failure at the steering column
• Electrical contact wear causing inconsistent lighting operation

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector style, terminal count, and vehicle application before installation. This DS-936 uses a bolt-on mounting method with 2 connector cavities, a female connector gender, and male blade terminals. Confirm the existing switch matches the vehicle’s steering-column configuration and function set, especially on Ford E-150, E-250, and E-350 Econoline/E-Series vans.

For best results, inspect the connector terminals and surrounding column wiring for heat damage, corrosion, or looseness before installing the replacement switch. Confirm proper operation of turn signals, high beam flash, latching high beam, washer spray, and wiper delay after installation.

Quality Assurance

Standard Ignition backs this replacement with a design focused on technician use, durable materials, and verified switching performance. The DS-936 is a new part built to meet the electrical and mechanical demands of daily service work.
