Ok i fixed my wobbly tilt wheel and now my brights dont work.... anyone have clkue on how it connects in the colum?

 

the switch is lower toward the bottom of the column, a rod runs up the left side of the column and goes to the back of the wiper switch. Must likely when you were fixing your tilt the rod wasn't put back in correctly, I had the same problem before.

 

theres a little plastic rod that goes from the handle to the switch its kinda shaped like )==, if my memory serves me right, mine fell out when i had the column apart took me damn near 2 hours to fix it theres probably a bit of grease on the case that shows where it was

 

yeah i foudn that how does that rod fit into the equation.. i dont see where it connects to that piece

 

i dont think its actually connected its just held in place by the switch and the lever

 

The rod is held in place by the switch. If the end of the rod is already held in try making the rod longer with a pair of pliers. That way when you hit the brights there will be enough slack in the rod to click your switch

 

ok my brights work before this. nothign is wrong, im trying to put the darn thing back together and i cannot get the high beam rod to connect to that plastic piece or slide into it or anything. im really confused about this thing, i dont see how it is held in place.. there wasa bow shaped spring that feel out, does that fit in there somehow?

 

it's been a while so I'm not sure without seeing a pic of it, make sure the bottom of the rod is on the switch at the base of the column..

 

post some pics of what you got so we can understand it better

 

ok will do

 

Ok how do all thses fit together i know that lil plasic peice slids on the cover, but where does the rod go?

 

anyone?

 

can u get a pic of the rod? It's been a few years since I've had one apart..

 

the rod is in the middle pic, i might have to take another one if it isnt clear

 

the rod goes on the peice of the colum with the white stuff and the switch is just next to it not connected it just buts up against it as for the wiper stick thing im not sure if its connected or not

 

ok so b asically its just sandwiched together?

 

you got er pontiac

 

man thats gunna be a b#@(! to put back together

 

thanks all who helped i got it the rod fell out of the switch which made it more confusing... now if i can get the horn working lol

 

if you need any help with that post it here too lol
