Hi All. Have had a 95 Swift for two years, put about 50,000 miles on it driving cross country a few times and it did great. Have been in the northeast for about a year and starting to have some troubles... the car's electrical system had some work done prior to buying it and everything worked. Recently the blinkers have stopped working intermittently and today it seems like they stopped working altogether along with the headlights! No daytime running lights nothing. I'm looking for a diagram of the fuses under the dash which I can see but there's two that are not horizontal that are not labeled and I don't know what they're for. Also the relays, there are a couple I don't know what they're for. The dashboard light that comes on when you turn on your headlights also does not come on; individual dash lights ie emergency break light, shift arrow etc do come on. Going to try the main relay. Lastly where is the horn relay..? When trying to fix the blinkers today I found a 30 amp fuse in the relay box that was blown and replaced that. The blinkers were working at this time and after replacing this fuse I hoped that it solved the problem but unfortunately a few hours later everything stopped working. Entertainingly the horn also stopped working after I changed that fuse. I went back and pushed all the relays in that I had taken out as well as the fuses to see if something was loose and still no horn. So we have a car with no headlights no blinkers and no horn. Lol . . it's an adventure :]
Any suggestions welcome thanks in advance

Using the test light should be simple enough….for example, probe the wire where you expect the 12v circuit with the test light problem and ground the other wire of the test light to a chassis ground (metal surface). There will be youtube videos that also show you how

The ebay auction you have linked to is for a RHD vehicle, your car is LHD, it is a different switch assembly, the turn signals are to the right of the steering wheel, and you have no guarantee that the wiring will be plug & play.

Assuming your car to be a US (not Canadian) market model, the part you want is 37400-50G30, if you share the VIN with me I can confirm the part number.

. There are 4 direct interchange parts listed. Now, I don’t guarantee any of this, but for myself, I then start to google each alternative brand and part number to see if it’s what I’d need for my car.

Actually, I found that some of them are the combo switch, but none are available. I then went to those manufacturer’s actual website. For example, Standard Motor Products, on their website, indicate CBS 1424, 1524 but not the 1624 that you would be looking for. ‘In desperation’, I would try to contact Standard to see if they have any new old stock, etc., for that part number.
However, AFAIK, you still have not tested the circuits for the things that run off the combination switch. For example, when you turn the headlights on, do you have any voltage anywhere along the wiring for the high beams? Have you properly tested the wiring to and from the turn signal relay? From your current list in post 109, it appears that only the blinkers are the only component off the combi switch that’s not working. The hazards do not work off of it, AFAIK. So, as the wipers, etc., are working, why assume the combi switch is the issue?
Personally, if I was going to do the ‘parts cannon’ idea of throwing parts at the issue, I’d be looking at the turn signal relay.

Weird , when I googled the manufacturer and part number they came up as different parts... what did you search for?
Yes as have said only the blinkers and hazards not working which stopped in the rain storm
I thought we determined the hazards are off the combination switch? I think on car-part.com what we're calling the combination switch is called the column switch?? There's nothing listed for combination switch and this is where I've gotten an old part before
Yes need to test wiring everything looks good and gearing up for having to get a new part in case that's what's needed, need to have it sourced and ready to order
Thank you as always...

Just confirm that you’ve tested the turn signal relay properly. Frankly, it would be a shame to go through all the hassle of finding a combination switch, installing it, and still finding that your blinkers and hazards don’t work. The combination switch does control the blinkers and hazards, but it’s far easier to first test the turn signal relay to confirm that’s working. In the meantime, did you share your VIN with Fordem so he could confirm the combination switch part number (post #122). Megazip does advise that the part number we’ve been looking for is discontinued. I had hoped that perhaps there were aftermarket suppliers, which appears to be a dead end. I don’t know, frankly, if combination switches from any other year for the Swift, or even the same year Sidekick, could be used instead…..????

And I suppose the next question may have to be: are there any junkyards near you? It seems almost impossible to find a combination switch for your car….:(
