Frequently asked questions

What is the STC1790 wash/wipe column switch and what does it do?
The STC1790 is the steering-column stalk switch that operates the windscreen wipe and wash functions. It signals the wiper motor and washer pump from the driver's column, and carries the detents for intermittent, normal and fast wipe plus the momentary wash position. This is the Lucas OEM switch.
Which models does this column switch fit?
This column switch fits the later Land Rover Discovery 1 from VIN MA081992, with further applications on the Discovery 2 and Freelander 1. Land Rover changed this switchgear mid-production, so confirm your VIN and compare your existing switch before ordering. STC4016 is listed as an alternative.
What functions does this column switch control?
This switch controls the windscreen wipers and washer from the column stalk. It carries the detents for intermittent, normal and fast wipe speeds, plus the spring-loaded wash position that runs the washer pump. A worn switch typically causes intermittent wiper operation or a wash function that won't trigger.
