MULTIFUNCTION Switch

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Mercury Sable, 2002 Ford Taurus, 2001 Mercury Sable, and 2001 Ford Taurus. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Turn ignition switch to LOCK position. Disconnect multifunction switch connectors. Set hazard flasher switch to OFF position unless specified otherwise. Check resistance between appropriate terminals with switch in specified position. See MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH RESISTANCE table. See Fig 1. If resistance is not as specified, replace multifunction switch. See MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION.
