Hi Guys,
Need some of your wisdom here.
Had a 94 jeep dropped on me with a broken indicator stalk, not a brand I see often but I thought no problem,  until the dealer quoted $730 X USA.
OUCH

I did some research and had to advise the parts dept  the stalk is a separate item and not part of the switch. They came back $160 and available. Great.

My problem is extracting the broken piece from the switch. I have drilled a 1.5mm hole down the centre and tried hauling on an extracter but it will not come out. I depressed the spring loaded pin that secures the stalk in place but still no go. The switch is still in situ. The remaining piece does not turn and I think it should as it controls the timer function for the intermittent wiper.
I am sure you guys would have done a few of these, am I missing something?

The guys that wreck these here sell the whole steering coloum so they do not damage them and none are available so I am not keen on breaking this one at those prices.
It may be burred over on the washer push switch part.

Came in as a no crank and could you look at the indicator stalk!  [smiley=brickwall.gif]



 

What model Jeep are you working on? Can you post a pic of the new part you have?

Hi Mike,
I guess its a Cherokee, only badge on it says Jeep. Vin is 1J4FN28S2RL229914 imported here used from Japan!

I have not yet ordered the stalk as the dealer tells me non returnable.

The setup looks like it came from the 1970' s. 
Have not got back to this one yet.

Those switches had a little tab on the inner end where you push in and turn the whole lever to release. That is a GM indicator handle, done a few over the years. The odd one we had to replace the switch as well if you can't get the broken tab out.

Thanks Mike,
              First time I have worked on one of these setups.
Not confident I am going to succeed getting the broken piece out, I doubt I would be able to see  more If I remove the switch.
