The dimmer switch is located near the floor on the left side of the steering column. The dimmer switch and ignition switch are secured by the same two screws. The dimmer switch will be the one on top. Loosen and remove the screws, disconnect the wiring harness from the dimmer switch and replace with the new switch, complete the assembly in reverse order.
Believe they were still on the floor at that time look for a push switch drivers side floor left side. If not then it is on the column
From 1925-27 the dimmer switch was on the steering column. Starting in 1927 it was moved to the floor. The last vehicle to have it on the floor was the 1991 Ford F-Series pickup.
My car has a lever on the right side of the steering column that you pull toward to dim. My old car had a switch on the floor that you pressed with your foot.
83 cutlass is either in the steering column (down low away from the turn signal probably, or in the column "multifunction switch", possibly on the floor, but one would assuem you have looked. Relentless
Look for switch on floor
Usually on steering column lower if column shift, next to floor shift (remove panels) if floor shift or at transmission integrated with reverse light switch
Hey Melissa==The ignition switch is mounted on the top of the steering column, under the dash about 18 inches from the floor. Just remove the 2 screws that hold it on and pull it off. GoodluckJoe ---------------------- There are 2 parts to the ignition switch...The cylinder with the key and the electrical ignition switch mounted on the top of the steering column as Joe (first answer)pointed out. The 2 components are connected by a steel rod. However the ignition switch on the top of the steering column is a bit trickier to change than Joe noted. To get access you will need to drop the Steering column down.You will need to pull the dimmer switch first to get to the ignition switch. There is a rod the actuates the dimmer switch. You must be careful to get it back in correctly. Also you will need to adjust the ignition switch as it is slotted. As is the dimmer switch...it is also adjustable and you will need to get it adjusted correctly. Also be extremely cautious if you have a column shift there will be a clip for the PRNDL needle in your dash that will break if you dont disconnect it first. Make sure you mark its position first.
THE FUSE BOX IS LOCATED ON DRIVERS SIDE DIRECTLY ABOVE THE DIMMER SWITCH THATS MOUNTED ON THE FLOOR. No- Not above the inexistent floor mounted dimmer- there is no dimmer on the floor on a 73-77 grand prix- This is what was one of the standard options that won this Pontiac "car of the year" in 1973- The grand prix since 1973 has had a column mounted dimmer standard on every sub-model.The -Junction block- is above the dimmer pad (without a dimmer switch) and the fuse panel is behind the metal hush panel that covers the lower half of the column. The only fuses that are at the junction block are the wiper delay (orange wire inline fuse) and the cruise control (pink wire inline fuse).
The switch is on the steering column about 18 inches up from the floor. There are 2 screws that hold it on,
1. Got to the Public Library and request the Electrical Shop Manual for your year, unless you are able to locate the HI-BEAM wire. 2. Locate the wire that runs from the steering column switch to the C200 connector -- the very large connector the connects the steering column wiring harness to the firewall harness. 3. Either cut this wire and run the FIREWALL end to the new floor switch OR tie into this wire. NOT cutting it allows both column AND floor control. 4. Run the YELLOW wire from the HEAD/PARK Light Switch to the new floor mounted switch -- it's usually from pin 'D'.
