About Column Switch
Column Switch
The column switch, which is also known as the steering column switch or steering column control module, is a rod that protrudes from the steering column of the vehicle. The column switch is used to control a variety of different operations in the car. Most vehicles have at least two column switches, although some have three or four. They are positioned to permit easy access to the controls of the vehicle without losing contact with the steering wheel. They also encase the electrical wiring that operates the various operations that they control.
There is a range of uses for a vehicle’s common switches. Originally they were used to shift (or switch) gears on automatic cars. This then progressed to controlling the vehicle’s indicators and windscreen wipers. Most frequently, column switches are now used to control windscreen wipers, headlights, the headlight beam, the horn, the indicators and screen washers. However, more sophisticated versions of the column switch, in higher range vehicles, can control audio systems, cruise control systems and the vehicle’s onboard computer.
The most likely causes of malfunction of a column switch are loose wiring or a blown fuse. However, if the steering column switch itself fails or is damaged it can be easily replaced. All major motor parts suppliers can access the appropriate replacement part specific to the model of vehicle concerned.
Honda Civic trivia
- The Honda Civic is the sixth best-selling car of all time! However, those selling figures are helped by the fact that there has been a Civic in production since 1972.
- The Honda Civic hit the US just as the 1973 oil crisis hit, giving it an immediate advantage. Its ability to use both regular and unleaded petrol made it ideal, and it also got 40mpg. Much better than its US-made counterparts.
- The Civic Hybrid was the first car in its class to plug in. Its debut in 2003 saw many manufacturers rush to compete, but the Civic remains one of the more fuel-efficient cars of this type on the market.
- Canadians love the Honda Civic. For the last fourteen years, it has been the top-selling car in the whole country.
- The Type R Civic is famous for being much less fuel-efficient than its less sporty counterparts, but most owners accept that. Instead, they want the high performance, including the 305 horsepower and being easily capable of cruising along at 169mph.
