Headlight issue

That new switch is just a turd, made in the last 5 minutes of the shift on a Friday before a 3 day weekend turd.

Lmao, ok well fingers crossed the one coming is better. I ordered a turn signal switch too as this one is broken

So does the same lever on the column control the turn signals and the dimmer?

Here's a basic column break down.

Thanks for this. So my car has a non tilt/non cruise column. The turn signal lever that sticks out of the side of the column was broken off before i bought the car. I think it looks like (attached pic) Does this lever also toggle the dimmer switch? I cannot tell by the diagram.

The lever attaches to the mechanical pivot that besides activates the the turn signal switch pushes a rod downward to depress the dimmer switch itself which is mounted down at the same location of the ignition switch.

Okay thanks. I ordered the above lever and hope its the right one

Ok if anyone can answer this …. See pic. The “mechanical pivot” as pagrunt put it is broken. I was able to get the little piece of lever out of it. I dont even know where to begin to think where i’d find this part… any thoughts?

Sucks cause i was trying to figure out above how this all goes together. I ended up thinking it was part of the signal switch. Which it is not. So i ordered a signal switch, waited 5 days, it’s here now, to find out. Just kind of a bummer. Didnt want to dig the column all apart until the parts got here. I dont think the signal switch or the dimmer switch is bad so those’ll probably just get returned .. oh well..

Does it have a pin or a hollow bolt holding it in the column?

It has a hollow sleeve bolt holding in. The shaft for the dimmer goes thru this bolt
