Wiper/Washer Switch Replacement

1. Replacement of the wiper/washer switch is similar to replacing the headlamp switch listed above. The pod halves must be separated to service the wiper washer switch.

2. Remove the three screws holding the wiper/washer switch in place.

3. Using a small screwdriver, disconnect the linkage from the switch buttons.
4. Gently move the switch to disconnect the wiper switch lever from the slider on the pod and then remove the switch.

5. When installing a new switch, move both the lever and the slider to the "Hi" position. Move the linkage to the full "up" position until it locks in place to keep it out of the way during reassembly.

6. Making sure to place the wiper lever into the slider, loosely position the switch into the pod and using a finger, push the linkage onto the switch buttons until it snaps in place.

7. Using the three coarse thread screws, secure the switch to the housing.

8. Put the two pod halves together using the self-tapping fine thread screws and then gently install the pod back into the instrument panel observing the cautions noted above.

9. Check for proper operation of the components controlled by the switches located in the pod.
