Multi-Switch Replaced
Jan 27th, 2010 by C. Alexander Leigh
Very easy job on the Jeep, only 4 screws involved to remove the shroud and switch, and another 2 to separate the headlight switch assembly from the wiper switch assembly. It’s a very nice design, very clean and clever, I like it a lot. The new multi-switch works perfectly, and fixed the headlight problems as anticipated. No wonder it went out – turns out it’s made by Lucas, Prince Of Darkness.
Did yours turn out to be covered/filled with some sort of caustic goo? I recommend gloves for anyone else replacing the MF switch, as I was in quite a bit of burning pain by the time I was done with mine.
I disassembled my old one in the name of science, too. Pics coming soon.
The replacement I got seemed to have a very light coating of grease, perhaps, but nothing nasty. No discomfort. I didn’t try rubbing it into my eyes.
