Topic: which switch
in Forum: C3 Electrical
On my '79, the wiper switch is on the dash, the dimmer switch is mounted to the lower end of the column and controled by a rod that is connected but seperate from the turn signal switch. The dimmer switch can be removed with out takin out the column.

Jody, look toward the lower part of the steering column, on the driver side, and you shoould be able to see the actual switch.(It helps to be a contortionist.) Once you locate the switch, pull on the turn sig. switch to activate the hi-beams. You should be able to see/hear the rod move. If the rod itself is not moving, you will have a problem in the upper part of the column. That's bad!!

If someone has an assy. man for the '77, maybe they could post the pic of the page with this switch on it, and it will make more better sense.

Here ya go, Jody! This is a diagram of the column, and where the switch is, and the adjustment. Hope this helps!
