It'* not that bad, just be careful not to pull any other wires.

Thanks,

I completed the job but my brights dont work any more haha, i think it is just a plastic piece that came out of the steering column, but i havent figured out how the thing goes back in. Anyways it took me like 3hours to do the job. If anyone knows how to put this plastic piece back in for my brights please tell me. Thanks

I'm sorry, but your wrong. The multifunction switch / turn signal switch plugs into the Pivot switch. I had that Pivot switch break on mine. The switch at the dealer was like $35.00 and it cost me $85.00 in labor. If the turn signal switch itself is whats broken email me *email* i have a few that are in good working order.

Good luck,

As I remember you have to get the metal rod sitting on the high/low switch farther down in the column. Then you can get the plstic peice balanced on top of the metal rod and under the arm of the upper switch.

Hey, that'* the bitchiest part of the whole thing.

3F5A-10

Okay, With the column ripped down to where you've got the ignition cylinder housing off,

Turn the metal rod to where the part that sticks out is shaped like an L, with the other end sitting on the Dimmer Switch.

Put the pivot pin (that plastic peice) into the pivot switch

then put those into the ignition cover

then the dimmer switch rod actuator (some sort of flat plastic peice that you lube with lithium) into the ignition cover

then the ignition cover back onto the column.

Gee, it sure seems simple when they say it like that doesn't it?

Hi...Welcome back.. In the future, please start a fresh thread and link to the old one.

Sounds like the multi function switch broke on you. It'* not the lever right? This requires a partial column disassembly with specialized tools that can be rented.
