MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH TESTING
PROCEDURESÐXJ
The multi-function switch contains electrical cir-
cuitry for:
²Headlamp Dimmer Switch.
²Passing Lights.
²Turn Signals.
²Hazard Warning.
²Windshield Wiper.
²Pulse Wiper.
²Windshield Washer.
This integrated switch is mounted to the left hand
side of the steering column. Should any function of
the switch fail, the entire switch must be replaced.
The multi-function switch also serves as a fog lamp
lock-out circuit. The circuit to the fog lamp switch is
completed only when the dimmer switch is in the low
beam position.
SWITCH TEST
(1) Disconnect battery negative cable.
(2) Remove lower instrument panel screws along
bottom edge of steering column (Fig. 1).
(3) Remove lower instrument panel/knee blocker.
(4) Remove tilt lever.
(5) Remove upper and lower column shrouds to
gain access to the switch connector (Fig. 2).
(6) Remove lower fixed column shroud.
(7) Loosen steering column upper bracket nuts. Do
not remove nuts.
(8) Move upper fixed column shroud to gain access
to rear of multi-function switch.
(9) Remove switch connector (Fig. 3 and 4).

(10) Use an ohmmeter to test for continuity be-
tween the terminals of the switch as shown in the
continuity chart (Fig. 5).(11) Refer to Service Procedures for assembly.

HEADLAMP ALIGNMENTÐXJ
Headlamps can be aligned using the screen method
provided in this section. Alignment Tool C4466-A or
equivalent can also be used. Refer to instructions
provided with the tool for proper procedures.The
preferred headlamp alignment setting is 0 for
the left/right adjustment and 1(down for the
up/down adjustment.
HEADLAMP ALIGNMENT PREPARATIONÐXJ
(1) Verify headlamp dimmer switch and high beam
indicator operation.
(2) Correct defective components that could hinder
proper headlamp alignment.
(3) Verify proper tire inflation.
(4) Clean headlamp lenses.
(5) Verify that luggage area is not heavily loaded.

(6) Fuel tank should be FULL. Add 2.94 kg (6.5
lbs.) of weight over the fuel tank for each estimated
gallon of missing fuel.
HEADLAMP/FOG LAMP ADJUSTMENT USING
ALIGNMENT SCREENÐXJ
ALIGNMENT SCREEN PREPARATION
(1) Position vehicle on a level surface perpendicu-
lar to a flat wall 7.62 meters (25 ft) away from front
of headlamp lens (Fig. 1).
(2) If necessary, tape a line on the floor 7.62
meters (25 ft) away from and parallel to the wall.
(3) Measure from the floor up 1.27 meters (5 ft)
and tape a line on the wall at the centerline of the
vehicle. Sight along the centerline of the vehicle
(from rear of vehicle forward) to verify accuracy of
the line placement.
(4) Rock vehicle side-to-side three times to allow
suspension to stabilize.
(5) Jounce front suspension three times by pushing
downward on front bumper and releasing.
(6) Measure the distance from the center of head-
lamp lens to the floor. Transfer measurement to the
alignment screen (with tape). Use this line for up/
down adjustment reference.
(7) Measure distance from the centerline of the ve-
hicle to the center of each headlamp being aligned.
Transfer measurements to screen (with tape) to each
side of vehicle centerline. Use these lines for left/
right adjustment reference.
ADJUSTMENT
(1) Remove screws and both headlamp bezels.
(2) Clean front of the headlamps.
(3) Place headlamps on LOW beam.
(4) Cover front of the headlamp that is not being
adjusted.
(5) Turn vertical adjustment screw (Fig. 2) until
the headlamp beam pattern on screen/wall is similar
to the pattern depicted in Figure 1.
When using a headlamp aiming screen:
²Adjust the headlamps so that the beam horizontal
position is at 0.
²Adjust the beam vertical position is 25 mm (1 in)
downward from the lamp horizontal centerline.
(6) Rotate the horizontal adjustment screw until
the headlamp beam pattern on the aiming screen/
wall similar to the pattern in Figure 1.
(7) Cover front of the headlamp that has been ad-
justed and adjust the other headlamp beam as in-
structed above.
(8) Install headlamp bezels. Tighten the screws se-
curely.
FOG LAMP ADJUSTMENT
Prepare an alignment screen. Refer to Alignment
Screen Preparation paragraph in this section. A prop-erly aligned fog lamp will project a pattern on the
alignment screen 100 mm (4 in.) below the fog lamp
centerline and straight ahead (Fig. 3)
HEADLAMP BULB REPLACEMENTÐXJ
REMOVAL
(1) Remove the screws and the headlamp bezel
(Fig. 4).
(2) Remove the screws and headlamp bulb retain-
ing ring.
(3) Disconnect the headlamp bulb wire harness
connector and remove the bulb from the bucket.
INSTALLATION
(1) Position the bulb in the bucket and connect the
wire harness connector.
(2) Position retaining ring on the headlamp bulb
and install screws.
(3) Install the headlamp bezel. Tighten the screws
securely.
FOG LAMPSÐXJ
Fog lamps are turned OFF by the circuit relay
when the high beam driving lamps are turned ON.
Fog lamps may be operated ONLY when low beam
headlamps are ON. If the headlamps are switched to
high beam, the low beam lamps and fog lamps will
turn OFF. The fog lamps will go back on when the
high beams are switched OFF.
The indicator lamp on the fog lamp switch will go:
²OFF when the high beams lamps are switched
ON.
²ON when the high beam lamps are switched OFF.
