The multi-function switch mounts on the steering column. It opens and closes the turn signal, hazard and wiper circuits as you move the lever or press the controls. Signs it may need replacing include signals or wipers that work intermittently or not at all, wiper settings that do not respond, or a lever that feels loose or broken. Diagnose the cause before replacing, since wiring and other components can produce the same symptoms.
