SatiricalHen Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 I’m located in Upstate, SC. I am willing to drive or pay shipping. I have a fixed steering column and I currently don’t have intermittent wipers. I’m looking to find an intermittent wiper switch or if someone can tell me another vehicle to pull it from or whatever. I’m just tired of the wipers in the rain. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
eaglescout526 Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 I can get one from AMC salvage as they have a bunch of those damn things laying around.
SatiricalHen Posted January 13, 2020 Author Posted January 13, 2020 I can get one from AMC salvage as they have a bunch of those damn things laying around. I haven’t found a single intermittent wiper switch for a fixed column anywhere I’ve looked. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
eaglescout526 Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 The intermittent wiper isn't specific to tilt or not. If someone else doesn't have one readily to sell to ya, I can get one but it will take me a bit as I am limited to when I can go to the salvage yard. Which is during my lunch.

I need the switch in the stalk, and the module. The module is the same, but from what I can find the switch in the stalk is specific to tilt and fixedSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
eaglescout526 Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 Let me go take a look at the stalk real quick and get back with ya. Should be able to order a GM replacement. I take that back, I have a GM replacement stalk that I used to replace my worn our letter one which is made for intermittent wipers.
eaglescout526 Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 All that the catalogue shows me. And this is a non tilt diagram. This is a tilt column diagram. Part numbers appear the same up till 90 when Chrysler superseded them.
SatiricalHen Posted January 13, 2020 Author Posted January 13, 2020 I guess I need to get one and give it a go then. Just never tried since everywhere I looked said they were different. I guess I need to get a stalk, the switch in the column, and the module under the dash at the drivers feet?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
eaglescout526 Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 When you say the switch are you talking about the whole turn signal switch? That's the only switch in the column itself. Theres the high beam switch that's down the outside of the column and the module goes directly under the column. ACDelco makes the chrome stalks still but have an alignment issue. Chrysler still has the stalks but are black unless you want to go that route.
schardein Posted January 14, 2020 Posted January 14, 2020 The actual wiper switch is in the column, and they are different for tilt and non-tilt. And they are expensive. I have a non-tilt delay wiper switch pulled from a junkyard MJ. They are actually rare. I can post a pic tomorrow. It was a huge pain to get out of the column. Edit: If you have a manual trans, I think it would actually be easier to swap the entire steering column from an intermittent wiper equipped XJ, instead of finding and swapping out the switch. If you have column shift auto, no other option but to change the switch.
eaglescout526 Posted January 14, 2020 Posted January 14, 2020 Found it! Good news. The intermittent wiper switch is still available at some dealers. 16 left. I had no idea that was the switch.

eaglescout526 Posted January 14, 2020 Posted January 14, 2020 List is $161. I can snag em for a bit cheaper.

The switch in the column, the stalk that goes into the switch, and the module? There’s no way to adapt a tilt column switch to work?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

eaglescout526 Posted January 14, 2020 Posted January 14, 2020 Damn I said too much. Yes I can get it less. I would have to call one of the dealers who has it.
schardein Posted January 14, 2020 Posted January 14, 2020 The part number 56000032, when searched on Rockauto, brought up that WVE brand part. But I am not 100% sure it is correct. I will get pictures of mine today and maybe we can determine how to tell the difference by looking at pictures. If I ever get around to installing mine, I will document it. Because it was a pain to get it out. I hope anyone else who does the swap would document it. I've already added the delay box behind the kick panel, and swapped the stalk to delay type, just need to add the switch.
SatiricalHen Posted January 14, 2020 Author Posted January 14, 2020 I would love to do the intermittent wiper and the 3 spoke steering wheel swap. Just so many little things I want to do. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
SatiricalHen Posted March 12, 2020 Author Posted March 12, 2020 Still on the hunt for a wiper switch if anyone has one or knows where to get one. Trying not to spend the $150 to get it off rock auto and then still having to find the stalk in a yard somewhere. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
eaglescout526 Posted March 12, 2020 Posted March 12, 2020 Want me to get it from a dealer for ya? PM me if yes.
SatiricalHen Posted April 16, 2020 Author Posted April 16, 2020 Still looking, haven’t found any yet. I may just need to pony up and buy it new soon. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
