Hello, I have a 93 tercel and the LOW beams won't work. The high beams are fine. Checked the fuses and they are OK. Someone told me it is the switch in the steering column. The arm the turns on/off the turn signals and headlights I guess.
Anyone know anything about this?
How easy is it to replace?

Thanks in advance

Hello !

Yes, its possible that the steering column switch its not longer good, first check if you "hear" a "click" whenever you actuate the switch, to replace the switch you have to remove the steering wheel (be sure that you have a puller to remove it) then make some drawings on the screws and pieces you are removing to put everythingt back in the same order.

Good Luck!

I'll give it a try. A lot cheaper than the alternative.

Thanks!
