Wiper "Off" switch not working


Recommended Posts

I was driving to work this week when I hit the wiper switch by accident, and now they will not shut off. The wipers stay in intermittent mode in the low position and off position, and function normally in all of the higher speed positions. I pulled the fuse to stop the wipers, but with rain scheduled to come in soon I would like to get this fixed - - - it will otherwise be very inconvenient to say the least! My questions are:

1 - Assuming it is the switch contact on the stalk, can this stalk alone be replaced or do I have to replace the entire 3-stalk unit?

2 - Does anyone have a 3-stalk unit left over from the OBC hack that I can buy if the entire unit needs replacing?

Car: 2001 Boxster (non-S)

Thanks,

Terry

Thanks, that is what I assumed. To bad, I wanted to avoid taking of the steering wheel if possible.

FYI. Search in the forum under the "OBC hack" pages. You don't need to take the wheel off to replace the individual stalks, only if you replace the entire assembly. You can turn the wheel 90 deg in each direction to access the screws necessary to remove the shroud around the stalks.
