The headlight switch is the control you reach for every time you drive after dark. The Standard Ignition Headlight Switch DS-220 is a replacement Jeep Cherokee switch for the 1984-1991 Jeep Cherokee. It is also listed for the 1982-1983 American Motors Concord, 1982-1988 American Motors Eagle, 1982-1983 American Motors Spirit, 1983-1987 Renault Alliance, 1984-1990 Jeep Wagoneer, 1985-1986 Renault Encore and 1986-1991 Jeep Comanche.
A headlight switch opens and closes the circuit that powers the headlights when you operate it. The DS-220 is built for that job:
Signs a headlight switch may need replacing include headlights that won't come on, lights that flicker or cut in and out, and a switch that feels loose or doesn't engage cleanly. If a failed switch is the cause, the DS-220 replaces it. Diagnose the circuit first, because bulbs, fuses and wiring can produce similar symptoms. See the Buyer's Guide tab for complete application details.
