Saturday while driving home from work, I attempted to clear the bird crap from my windshield. I activated my washers and was nicely cleaning both the front and back windshield when I switched the front down to fast to finish clearing the crap.
Worked great until I tried to shut them off. The control arm in the column broke....with the wipers on High.
I am close enough to home to not worry and just drive like its pouring rain....I got home and pulled the fuse so I can now at least drive it and not look like a mental patient...as it hasn't rained in weeks.
Soooo...the arm isn't exactly hanging there...I can push it up into the off position but there is resistance. But when I let go it forcibly moves back to the lowest position.
The wiring is all still in tact as I can press the button to spray the washers. It is just the mechanical arm/switch down in the column that has let go.
Has anyone else had this problem? Or anyone else torn into the stearing column? Any advice?
C-Dan...please tell me these parts are individually sourced or is it just one all in one piece combination switch?
Any and all help as always is much appreciated!
