There are two switch "pods" on either side of the
Instrument Cluster; the left pod includes the cruise control switch, headlight switch, dashboard light rheostat, and Autolamp switch, while the right pod contains the rear wiper/washer switch, rear defogger, and hazard switch. To check the cruise control switch, it must be removed first, and then continuity should be tested between terminals 5 and 7, 5 and 4, and 7 and 4 only when the switch is ON. For the headlight switch, dashboard light dimmer, and Autolamp switch, removal is also necessary, followed by continuity testing as specified. The rear wiper/washer switch requires removal as well, with continuity checks between terminals 5 and 6 when the wiper is ON, and between 4 and 5 when the washer is ON. The rear window defogger switch should be removed to test continuity between terminals 4 and 6, which should only show continuity when the switch is depressed. The hazard warning switch also needs to be removed for testing continuity between its terminals, which should show specific connections when the switch is ON. To remove any switch from the pods, use a screwdriver to pry it from the instrument panel, disconnect the electrical connector, and take care to tape the screwdriver tip to prevent damage to the panel covering; installation follows the reverse process of removal.
