Removing switch

Hey,

Uh...well...my windshield wiper motor is in...but for some damn reason the switch went out. How would I go about removing, fixing, or replacing it?

Thanks.

I believe the **** comes off, and then you unscrew the retainer inside the ring that says wipers.

Aright, thanks a bunch!

What about electrical connections, anything to look for, like, problems in the switch?

The connector just unplugs, take it with you to a salvage yard and get another. If you were close to me, I would give you one. I was up at our farm last week and had my old one in my hand. I actually have both styles because I upgraded my syatem and have delays installed.
