Repairing a loose wiper switch
1. Hold the knob (spray a WD40 on gap between the cone with muliple groove and that knob has the word LOW High with a vice grip, but be careful not too tight, just enough to hold it,
then the end that has multiple grooves, use a box wrench of 17mm, then carefully turn it counter clockwise
then Remove the c clip
then you have this:
be very very careful to remove the c clip, there is a very small ball bearing in the hole of the c clip
try to replace the spring. the tricky part is returning the c clip with the ball bearing and the new/stronger spring. what i did is i used a small magnet to hold the bearing in the c clip hole and quickly alighning it to the spring and push the clip and it will be secured. and just put the whole thing together
