ABSTRACT:
A multiple function control stalk for a vehicle having a pivotable headlight dimmer switch therein is disclosed. The control stalk can house a plurality of electrical switches for controlling various devices within the vehicle, such as windshield wiper and washer controls and vehicle speed or cruise controls. The control stalk is pivotally connected to a turn signal lever of the vehicle such that it can be pivoted toward the driver in a plane of movement which is generally perpendicular to the plane defined by the plane of movement of the turn signal lever itself. A two position electrical switch is provided within the control stalk. The switch includes a plunger which is engaged by pivoting movement of the control stalk relative to the turn signal arm to move from a first position to a second position, and vice versa. The switch can be utilized to control the operating condition of the headlights, namely, low beam or high beam, or other controlled device in the vehicle.
