How hard is it to replace the wiper switch in a 91 F150?

 

Is it part of the signal switch or by itself on the dash?

If it is on the dash,it's easy.

If it is part of the S/S then you are going to need some patience and some special tools,Like a connector removing tool,steeering wheel puller.

It's on the dash next to the light switch. I haven't even messed with it or tried to take it out but was wondering if anyone had done it before or had any tips.

 

They are a LOT easier if you remove the cluster.
Do you have an intermittent wiper system ?

If you do,that would cinch it for me as the ground strap usually attaches directly Behind the cluster.

Do you already know how to Remove the *****?

I do have, or atleast used to have intermittent wipers. Now they are just 2 speed and I have to jiggle it at an angle for the washer to work. The wiper switch **** is already off of it because it hollowed out the inside of the plastic **** making it a pain to turn on and off. I assume the light switch comes off like the wiper **** did- with that little clip that you have to pull towards you and then slide the **** off.

Does that sound right? If so, what next?

Thanks,

 

The headlight **** & shaft are different.
1st Make sure your battery is dosconnected.

Have you removed the Cluster bezel?
You usually get that off next.
The headlight switch **** is tricky.

If you pull the **** out all the way now reach in behind the bezel to the top of the light switch and you will feel a button.
When you press down on ther button pull out the switch ****.
If you do it right ,it should just slide right out.
Most people make the mistake and just pull and pull while pressing the button.They usually end up brealking the switch.

The trick is, to have the switch **** all the way out First >
Then push the button and pull the ****.

This should give you access to the wiper switch.

If you want a replacement intermittent system, I have them for sale but you have to contact me personally Off FTE.

Is there any trick to removing the cluster bevel?

I plan to start on this little project this weekend. I hope to get the switch locally but if I can't get it around here I'll let you know.

Thanks again for your help mil1ion! I'll let you know how it goes.

 

Instrument Cluster Bezel

I'm not too familiar with the 90's.
I'm heading to the wreckers in a few minutes.
I saw a 90 in there 2 days ago,so I'll look at it before I comment.

Look for Mounting screws > Some may be hidden > Like in an A/C vent
