Joe -

Headlight portion of the switch is on the left of the steering column,
along with the turn signal switch.  The stalk on the right-hand side of
the column controls the wipers, and washer if you have one working.  All
three controls, if I remember correctly are attached as one unit, that
has to be replaced if one section goes bad.  I was told repair was nigh
on impossible.

btw -  I bought the switch at AR Ricambi.  They said it was for a GTV6,
and that is what I have repeated.  Considering that it did fit, and
worked as mentioned, tells me something (although I don't really know
what at the moment.)

I guess that later model GTV6s could have had different switch gear.  I
don't pretend to be an expert on the subject.  .  Matter of fact, I had
my mechanic R&R the unit, because as I started taking stuff apart under
the dash, etc, I felt I was in over my head. So......

Joe Elliot responded:
WHAT??  My GTV6 has two very separate column switches for lights and
wipers.  What kind of GTV6 did that switch come from??
