Where this part fits and what it controls
Fitting position: the switch panel sits at the bottom of the centre dashboard stack, beneath the radio / audio unit and heater controls, next to the lower power-outlet area.
The highlighted four-control row is a location guide. Dashboard trim finish and nearby equipment can vary by market and specification.
Rear screen demister
Commands the heated rear-window circuit to clear condensation or light frost. A fault elsewhere in the fuse, relay, wiring or glass element can create similar symptoms.
Rear wiper / washer
Provides driver input for rear wiping and washing. Diagnose the fuse, motor, pump, wiring and tailgate loom before condemning the switch.
Headlamp beam level
Allows manual 0-3 adjustment of headlamp aim on vehicles equipped with electric levelling motors, helping compensate for passenger or luggage load.
Traction-control override
Provides the TRAC OFF driver command where fitted. Warning lamps or traction faults may also be caused by sensors, wiring or control modules.
Exact compatibility table
| Vehicle / configuration | Years | Compatibility | Conditions |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chrysler PT Cruiser 5-door hatchback / wagon, pre-facelift | 2001-2005 | CONFIRMED RANGE | Must match 04671673AA, four controls and all connectors. RHD and LHD export applications may use it where identically equipped. |
| PT Cruiser 1.6 / 2.0 / 2.2 CRD / 2.4 / 2.4 Turbo | Within 2001-2005 where offered | POSSIBLE BY EQUIPMENT | Engine size alone does not prove fitment. Match the panel and part number. |
| Late-2000 registered PT Cruiser | Registration date only | VERIFY FIRST | PT Cruiser model-year records begin at 2001. A late-2000 registration should only be ordered against an exact 04671673AA and photo/connector match. |
| Chrysler PT Cruiser facelift 5-door | 2006-2010 | DOES NOT FIT | Later dashboard and switch arrangement; do not rely on the current listing's wider 2004-2010 compatibility claim. |
| Chrysler PT Cruiser Convertible | All years | DOES NOT FIT | Different body equipment and no rear-wiper arrangement. |
| PT Cruiser with blank switch positions, no TRAC OFF, no rear wiper, or different headlamp control | Any | DOES NOT FIT | The face and electronics must match exactly. |
| Other Chrysler / Dodge / Jeep / Plymouth vehicles | Any | NOT CONFIRMED | No reliable cross-model application has been verified for this exact assembly. |
Possible symptoms of a faulty panel
Intermittent or dead control
One or more buttons may fail to respond, require repeated pressing or work only intermittently.
Damaged face or legends
Broken buttons, worn symbols, cracked housing or loose mounting points can affect safe, clear operation.
Headlamp levelling unavailable
The 0-3 beam-level command may not operate even when the vehicle's motors and wiring are serviceable.
Control indicator problem
Illumination or status indication may be absent. Bulbs, wiring, fuses and control modules should also be checked.
Why choose an original manufacturer component
Factory-matched geometry
Correct locating tabs, switch spacing, connector keying and legends are more likely to match the vehicle's original dashboard installation than an unverified reproduction.
Correct driver interface
The factory-style symbols, button feel and headlamp-level markings retain the controls the vehicle was designed to use.
Lower environmental impact
Reusing a serviceable original component extends its useful life and can reduce demand for newly manufactured material and packaging.
Potential value saving
A pre-owned original component can cost substantially less than a new replacement. The actual saving varies by part, condition and current new-part availability.
Fitting guide, tools and repair time
Suggested tools
- Plastic trim-removal levers
- Phillips and Torx bit set
- Small ratchet / socket set
- 10 mm spanner or socket for battery terminal
- Small torch and protective cloth
- Electrical contact inspection light; do not force or modify plugs
Estimated time
Approximately 20-45 minutes for an experienced technician when no trim damage, seized fasteners or wiring repair is present.
Labour guide used below: 0.5 hour. Diagnosis, programming, wiring repair and seized or damaged trim are additional.
General replacement sequence
- Park safely, switch the ignition off, remove the key and open a window. Record any radio-security information that may be required.
- Disconnect the negative battery terminal and wait at least 10 minutes before working around dashboard electrical connectors.
- Protect the surrounding trim. Use plastic levers to release the centre-stack bezel in the sequence specified by the workshop manual.
- Remove the relevant screws or clips, support the panel and pull it forward only far enough to reach the plugs.
- Release each connector by its locking tab. Do not pull on the wires or force a mismatched plug.
- Compare 04671673AA, all locating tabs, the four front controls and every rear connector before installation.
- Connect the replacement, seat the panel correctly and refit all fasteners and trim without overtightening.
- Reconnect the battery, restore any vehicle settings and test rear demister, rear wiper/washer, headlamp level and TRAC OFF operation.
