Another challenge!
You could easily count on one hand the number of times this car has been caught in the rain but on one of my last outing, danged if I didn't get rained on. No big deal really except that the wiper switch on the turn signal stalk quit working and I was unable to turn off the wipers. (I did so by unplugging the connector under the hood at the wiper motor.)
I have removed the steering column because I already had it loose to address the starter switch replacement, so it was just a few more easy steps to get it out of the car. I was able to remove the pin that secures the outer shell of the switch and when inspecting, I found a loose, very small ball bearing the appears to set under a spring in the speed selector rocker? It could have come loose just taking the switch apart. Nothing looks broken, per se, but something was clearly wrong.
I checked the Tech Manual and couldn't find anything there in terms of a diagram that shows how this is supposed assemble/work.
No doubt some of you have shared this experience. Any advice?
Thanks,
Harry
