Run your headlights, high/low beams and turn signals from a single stalk with the Standard Multi-Function Column Switch, part number CBS-1112, a column-mounted, lever-style switch that handles headlight, headlight dimmer and turn signal functions. It fits many Subaru models, among them the 2000-2006 Subaru Outback, 1998-2004 Subaru Forester and 1998-2004 Subaru Impreza, and is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications.
Signs this switch may need replacing include turn signals that don't operate or don't cancel, headlights or high beams that won't switch on or change, intermittent operation, or a loose or broken lever. If a worn column switch is the cause, CBS-1112 replaces it. Diagnose the circuit first, because bulbs, fuses, relays and wiring can cause similar symptoms.
