Wiper switch HELP!

[knever3]

I want to buy a new wiper switch for my column unless I run across a new/used column.  I can't for the life of me find the one I need.

 

1987 Jeep Comanche

Auto, Floor shift

NON-Tilt

Delay Wipers

 

The ONLY thing I see with the traditional non-delay wipers is maybe a few wires in that block that goes through the column.  I'm sure this exact part is meant for ALL GM columns that are non-tilt, non-delay.  EVERY single one I click on is for a non-delay.  It can't be that hard!

 

Please prove me wrong.  My stalk has always been droopy, I hate turning my bright lights on, my turn signals click SO hard when I pull up, not so much when I pull down for left.  I would like a new turn signal stalk as well.  My frustration led to it getting slightly bent.  LOL  The one I have is crap, I had to glue it to the knurled shaft since it spins.

This must be a joke:

Seriously?  This can't be that hard to find, or expensive.

Yes it is. Jeep uses a different switch too. I’ll get you a part number. 
 

But the stalk being droopy makes me think that the screw holding the switch to the turn signal switch assembly is loose inside and thus you’re having a tremendous amount of issues with that area.

I have a non-tilt, non-delay column in my truck. Wanted to add delay wipers. This was maybe 10 years ago, the switches were listed on Rockauto, but very expensive. I’m not surprised if they are hard to find now. And they aren’t exactly easy to remove/replace. It might actually be easier to get a column from an XJ that already has delay wipers. You’ll probably end up with tilt as well, since that is a common feature in XJs. As is console (floor) shift automatics.

I've been looking for a column for years nothing has turned up within 200 miles.

If I were you, I would probably look for a tilt and delay column. That one will probably be the easiest to find parts for.

Look up a steering column on car-part.com I found several listed that are the non tilt delay columns for about $95 each. I searched for 87 jeep Cherokee steering column and selected the non tilt delay options.

Do you think a junk yard 400 miles away would ship?  I would like to verify that it's good and functional before just taking a chance.

Not sure you would need to call them. Did you search for manual or automatic columns? The only difference is the lever to push when the key is shut off. Both should have the same wiper switch. From my search there are more manual transmission not tilt delay columns than the automatic versions.

Yeah, that's true, crazy part is I should have kept my old manual one.  Everything on it was perfect, only had 39,000 miles on it.  Looking back I should have made different choices.
