What is the Headlamp Dimmer Switch all about?

The headlamp dimmer switch may be part of the turn signal switch or it can be mounted on the floor. This switch enables you to dim the headlamp beam from low to high or vice versa. A bad switch will not change the headlamp beam. Your headlamps being stuck on high beams can create a dangerous situation for oncoming drivers.

Keep in mind:

In many vehicles, the dimmer switch is part of a multi-switch that also controls the windshield wipers, turn signals, and cruise control. *Replacing this multi-switch means all of those components will need to be re-wired.

How it's done:

Inspect the switch.
Remove and replace the faulty switch.
Check operation of the headlamps and verify the high/low beam switching.

Our recommendation:

It should be noticeable when your headlamp dimmer switch stops working. If you find that your vehicle is unable to alternate between high and low beams, then you should schedule a service.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Headlamp Dimmer Switch?

Lights will not change between high and low beams. They will be stuck on one or the other.
Headlamps will not stay on high-beam setting.

How important is this service?

The headlamp dimmer switch allows you to select between your headlamp's high and low beams. When you pull the lever on your steering wheel column, the dimmer switch triggers the high beams, and either turns them on or turns them off. When the headlamp dimmer switch malfunctions, your headlights won’t be able to switch between high and low. You’ll either be stuck with only low beams, which can mean poor visibility, or you’ll be stuck with only high beams, which is hazardous to the drivers around you.

Porsche Macan L4-2.0L Turbo - Brake Pads Replacement (Rear) - Encinitas, California

Was a bit perplexed though when I received a message 35 minutes before our scheduled mtg. saying my mtg. needed to be rescheduled. I called corporate and explained this was unacceptable due to my busy schedule AND already waiting all morning. He was at my house an hour later and completed the job. Very annoying to have gotten that msg.

My car has had some issues lately. Ive been watching a lot of youtube. Found 1 video of 5 ways to spot misfires. Im 5 for 5. But, somehow I don't think that is my only problem.. after watching multiple videos of guys working on misfiring [engines](/topics-engine-ford/), those cars sound and run great compared to mine lol. So this morning after driving to 2 different schools to pick up work for the kids, after the 2nd school stop, my car would not start. It would try, but then stall. I gave it gas, and as long as i was giving it gas, it sounded like my old dirt bike warming up, but would run until i took my foot off the gas. I got it home out of shear determination. It capped out at about 40 mph. It stalled at a stop sign. I came up on a red light and threw it in neutral which seemed to barely keep it alive. I changed the [spark plugs](/topics-spark-plug-ford/) not long ago but i haven't taken them out just yet to inspect. I have a little 1min video of part of my drive home. Im sick of bring it to a mechanic to spend 2k at a time just to still have issues
