    I got mine from jshsltr He might have some more. It's easy to do. Turn your wheel 90 degrees to each side to remove the 2 screws on the steering colum shroud. Pop the two shroud pieces apart then remove the bottom first. Might be helpful to loosen your steering column first ( up and down adjuster ). The top piece has a clip in the back (towards the engine). Push it in from both sides with a screwdriver. The wiper switch has two plugs with push tabs to disconnect first. The wiper switch itself has three tabs. Two above and below and one in the center (side facing the wheel). Then it just slides out. Pop in the new switch. Hook up the wires. Replace the shroud prices and enjoy intermittent wiping!

    Hope this helps. Sorry I don't have step by step pics. Next time I do something like this I'll be sure to document it well. I've found a lot of help on this forum so I want to give back. Good luck finding a switch.

    By the way, mine cost $75.

    I have the exact same set up for my CB and love it. How did you ground yours? Best part is that if it hits the ceiling of parking garage you can just reach out the window and hold it down.

    I just removed some of the powder coat around the screw holes, top of the bracket and around the screws, hope this is enough, or I will run a ground wire. the antenna is a shorty, just 2' tall...

    I ran a ground wire but when I hooked it up to a swr meter to tune it I was in the 3's so I don't think I have a good enough ground. I also have the 3' version of that antenna so I am not sure if that makes a difference or not.

    LMAO! You said taco boner. :)

    Today I washed mine too. Figured I may as well roll clean for 2 or 3 days before the next storm comes through. IMG_8153.jpg
