Put clear, reliable control of your lighting back at your fingertips with the Standard Ignition Headlight Switch DS-1382. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications — the 2002-2005 Ford Excursion, 2000-2007 Ford Taurus, and 2000-2005 Mercury Sable — taking over the job of the original dash-mounted switch that operates the vehicle's exterior lighting circuits.
- Core function: the headlight switch controls the on/off operation of the headlamp and exterior lighting circuits from the dashboard.
- Signs it may need replacing: headlights that flicker, cut out intermittently, or won't turn on can be signs the original switch is failing.
- Conditional fix: if a failed headlight switch is the cause of your lighting trouble, this unit replaces the original on the listed vehicles.
Because bulbs, fuses, relays, and wiring can produce similar symptoms, diagnose the circuit before replacing the switch.
