quick steering column question
i have the basic steering column in my 90 xj, no intermittent wipers or anything special, and i hate hot having intermittent wipers and the horn rarely works and its really just falling apart, i was just curious if i can just grab a column off one with the intermittent wipers and just add the wiper control box into the connector and it work no problem i would assume it would all plug in but i hate to go to the jy get one and be sol :P

I wonder if that would work. |
yes it would but you dont no if the one you get if the switch is any good in the coloumn, why not buy the switch and install in yours and get the delay box your gonna have to take yours apart for the key cyl any way
|
hmm thats true, thanks for the info
|
I just put a whole new column in mine yesterday cause my tilt was broken and it was way easier then trying to pull it apart and just fix parts inside. I just a new column for 50 bucks with a key included. Just make sure you buy one that has the wiper switches that you want. The switch in the column itself is what controls when and how fast the wipers come on.

ya my old one had the switch, my current one doesnt even have tilt :P its the baseline one its ziptied together haha its so trashed the key doesnt even have the part around it to help turn the key so the keys actually twisting :P i think im gonna get a new one but bring a tester to make sure the switches work

Hello, I just purchased a 97 Cherokee sport with the entire column area yanked out. All of the mechanics seem to work, could I just find the column and dash piece at a junkyard and install it myself ( I'm new to this and do not have a wide array of skills). Also, the guy who sold it to me rigged up a push button start because the wires had been tampered with in an attempted theft. Should I just cover up dash and column and use this button ( it doesn't seem to have a negative impact on the starter, etc) or get some expensive electrical work done?
|
FYI there is a thread specifically about push button starts. Good info in that thread.

Thanks guys. Good stuff. Is plugging in gonna be very difficult? I'll just pay close attention when I remove the junkyard column.
Here is a pic for before and after purposes! |
