The internal contacts wear and corrode, and the plastic stalk cracks. Symptoms are wipers that only run on one speed, wipers that will not park or stop, a washer that does nothing, or a stalk that is loose or broken off.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGood wipers are a safety item, and many states check them at inspection. A worn switch can also overheat the wiring at the plug. A new JP Group switch is a direct plug-in fix when the motor and wiring test good.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisconnect the battery before working on the column.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemove the steering wheel and the column switch cover to reach the switch screws.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompare the plug and wire colors with your old switch before fitting.
