It is a combined unit that includes the stalks for controlling lights, turn indicators, windshield wipers and other auxiliary functions. It is an essential device for the manual control of the signaling and windshield cleaning systems.
Technical specifications
The light switch OE 716662080 is designed for direct mounting on the steering column. It is equipped with two main stalks (one for lights and indicators, one for wipers) and electrical wiring with multipole connectors.
Type: analog stalk unit, not electronic
Number of stalks: 2 (left for lights/indicators, right for wipers/washers)
Material: black injection-molded plastic housing
Connections: two multi-pin connectors, specific to the Panda wiring
Integrated functions: headlight activation, high/low beam switching, turn signals, windshield wipers, washer
Installation: on column, compatible with original mounting and traditional spiral contacts
DIPA offers a range of original and aftermarket spare parts of equivalent quality, as well as refurbished components with like-new functionality.
Functions
The light switch performs all necessary functions for manual control of the following systems:
- Switching on and managing front and rear lights
- Control of turn indicators (left/right)
- Activation of high beams by a flick of the stalk
- Control of the front windshield wiper, with speed selection and intermittent setting
- Activation of the washer by pushing the wiper stalk

Faults and causes
The most common problems found with this light switch include:
- Malfunctioning light controls: worn or oxidized contacts
- Turn indicators not working or intermittent: faulty mechanical switch
- Wiper controls unresponsive or stuck: internal mechanical breakage of the stalk
- Stalk return not working after steering, due to wear of the disengagement mechanism
- Oxidized electrical contacts in the connectors, causing loss of power to one of the controls
These faults are mainly due to the component's age, heavy use and exposure to moisture or thermal stress.
