Who It's For

This combination switch is aimed at do-it-yourself mechanics, independent repair shops, and classic truck owners who need a cost-effective, function-focused replacement for steering column controls on 1995-2000 Chevy and GMC vehicles. If your original lever has failed or behaves intermittently, this unit restores essential lighting and wiper functions without needing additional features.
