Removing wiper switch

Post by bbyrnes1 »

How? Can't figure out how it unplugs, removed from the dash, or the shaft gets pulled.

I'm not aware of a set screw on mine other than on the knob, which is off. I tried beating grooves on the inside of the bezel with a screwdriver but I can't get it to spin off.

There's a small Allen head set screw on the knob.
Inside the bezel is the retaining ring...I use a small flat blade screwdriver, put counterclockwise pressure as you grab and turn back and forth the switch body behind the dash. The hole in the dash is keyed to match the flat spot on the switch's threaded area, should be enough play to get the nut loose.

If you don't have a spanner wrench for the jamb nut, a well placed pair of needle nose pliers will get it off after you remove the knob of course...
