Hey guys (and girls),
I have decided to change out the wiper switch I acquired about a year ago. This is my first attempt at this project. I have the column apart and am trying to get the turn signal switch off/out. There doesn't seem to be enough slack in the wiring of the t.s. switch for it to come off/out. I do not want to force it and break something. Any words of wisdom would be much appreciated... |

Back under the column where it meets the dash you can disconnect the wires their. Look at the Pelican tech article about this or the one on replacing ignition switch. What year car? If it is a 74 or earlier it comes out all together wiper and turn signal.

Unplug the connectors at the base of the column housing. Take off the 2 rubber w/s washer hoses. Be sure you depressurize the w/s washer reservoir first! The Cap'n

seemingly endless issues with my 914 Group: Members Posts: 218 Joined: 13-February 07 From: Chicagoland Member No.: 7,532 Region Association: None |
Both the wiper switch and turn signal switch have to be disconnected at the base of the column. Problem is the lower dash blocks access to the connectors. I don't think it's possible to unplug the connectors without first removing the lower dash.

I don't think it's possible to unplug the connectors without first removing the lower dash. Bob, I got lucky. There are actually 2 'finger holes' just under the column (see pic) which allowed me to get in, disconnect, and re-connect both switches - barely. Thanks for the guidance gentlemen, project is completed. I now have functioning wipers for the first time since I have owned this car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Attached image(s)
