Standard Ignition Headlight Switch P/N:DS-741
Standard Motor Products
Get reliable on-off control of your headlights with the Standard Ignition Headlight Switch DS-274, a direct-fit replacement for the 1986-1992 Ford Taurus and 1986-1992 Mercury Sable. The headlight switch is the driver-operated control that turns the vehicle's headlights on and off. When its internal contacts wear, the lights may stop responding reliably.
If a worn headlight switch is behind headlights that won't come on, flicker, or work only intermittently, this Standard Ignition switch is designed to replace it. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine details.

It is the driver-operated control that turns the headlights on and off. It opens and closes the circuit when you move the switch.
How is this switch tested?
Standard Ignition tests 100% of these switches to verify both mechanical and electrical switching performance. It also uses copper alloy conductors to keep resistive losses low.
What are signs a headlight switch may need replacing?
Headlights that won't turn on, that flicker, or that cut in and out can be signs of a worn switch. Bulbs, fuses or wiring can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the problem before replacing parts.
