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.

Ford Expedition V8-4.6L - Serpentine/Drive Belt - Houston, Texas

Similar to my past experiences with Tyler, this service call associated with my 2000 Ford Expedition was excellent. He arrived on time considering I was late getting back from an appointment. He repaired the problem. Vehicle is running great. We were unable to complete the second because the vehicle needed to be cold. I rescheduled. He used the remaining time to explain some things about the vehicle and other upcoming pending repairs. Furthermore, a few weeks ago, the other guy gave me a quote to repair a major component on my vehicle. Tyler expressed they were unable to quote the repair because my vehicle needed to be raised. However, he did whip out his fancy camera equipment and crawl underneath my vehicle to check out the other guy's assessment. The camera was used so he could demonsrate by camera what I was unable to see underneath my vehicle. That was pretty cool...reminded me of how Jack Bauer used this type camera on the movie "24". As far as he could tell, there is an oil leak but was unable to determine the original source of the leak. Consequently, he advised to take it back to the other guy and request they show me and advised what I should look for. That advice in itself is worth $1000.00.
