Cadillac DTS Turn Signal Switch

The Cadillac DTS Turn Signal Switch offers a clear warning to those on the road when you intend to switch lanes or turn. The lever, which is housed within the steering column, is activated by light pressure to complete an electrical circuit that flashes the directional lamps to inform following traffic of your intentions. The Turn Signal Switch on most DTS models is also the multi-function stalk to which rotary or push controls for the headlights, fog lamps, windshield wipers, and even cruise settings are attached, so a single movement of the hand can operate several lighting and convenience circuits. The Turn Signal Switch applied in Cadillac sedans of yore performed the simple task of blinkers. As such, it did not seem much more of an upgrade from a conventional unit. In this respect, later generations benefited from an all-in-one unit. The main difference is extra electrical contacts and detents built into the modern unit. Each DTS Turn Signal Switch, no matter the version, has spring-loaded contacts that return the stalk to center after the wheel has been straightened to avoid the indicators turning on accidentally. Signals may fail to engage or cancel because the mechanism has become worn or the contacts have corroded. If so, then it's time for a new Turn Signal Switch. Doing so will keep the Cadillac lighting system reliable and compliant with traffic laws.

Each OEM Cadillac DTS Turn Signal Switch we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
