Standard Motor Products
Take control of your dash lighting brightness with this Standard Ignition switch, part number DS2497. It is an instrument panel dimmer switch built as a direct-fit OE replacement for the 2013-2016 Lincoln MKS. It adjusts the brightness of the instrument panel illumination, so gauges and displays can be set to a comfortable level for day or night driving.
Signs this switch may need replacing include instrument panel lights that won't dim or brighten, lighting that flickers when the control is moved, or dash illumination that stays dark. Blown fuses, failed bulbs, or wiring faults can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the circuit before replacing the switch. If a failed dimmer switch is the cause, the DS2497 replaces it.
