ABSTRACT:
A steering column stalk switch includes a lever gimballed for rotation relative to a housing in two different paths of movement. First and second electrical contactors are mounted on a support for engagement with conductive traces on a circuit board stationarily mounted in the housing. An actuator on the lever engages the support upon movement of the lever in one path of movement to laterally move the support to switch the position of one of the first and second contactors relative to the conductive traces on the circuit board. Movement of the lever in a different direction rotates the support to switch the other contactor relative to the conductive traces on the circuit board.
