89 yj jeep wrangler key cylinder wiper switch ,turn signal replacement 

I literally have to replace the ignition switch, turn signal switch, and wiper switch on my 88 YJ. God bless you for putting this all in one video!!!👍

Like your humor, I have bad luck too. I have learned to laugh it off. For 60 yrs.

Thank you! Our 94 4 banger YJ needed the multi wiper switch replaced. Tried to replaced from the top. Impossible. removing the steering column was easy thanks to your video. Screws in the inside pointing up held the parts together. Only way to get to it was to remove the steering column $163 switch at Oriles. The first switch we got $100, but didn't fit. There are 3 switches for the year. Of course the one I need is the most expense.. sigh.

Thank you for this video. I swapped in a new turn signal switch on my 95 YJ and found the vid to be very helpful. I'm usually the one to break stuff and add to the job, but I was able to avoid that with your help. Instead of using the coat hanger, I used your first idea. I cut the old wires and taped them to the new ones and then pulled them through. It's nice to have it working as it should now.

Thank God for your patience man, once my switch busted, I knew that I had no clue on how to go about it. Appreciate the effort and time spent in on this. Gave me the confidence I needed to tackle my project.

Thank you, much appreciated! I bet this video has helped hundreds of YJ owners.

as a new owner of a 34 year old YJ after replacing the turn indicator switch and now the wiper switch is shot and cost $140 for a non tilt non delay it looks like its cheaper to buy a rebuilt column for $475 than to go thru all that again to replace wiper switch BUT THANKS FOR THE GREAT VIDEO YOU HAVE WAY MORE PATENCE THAN ME

Very helpful video, I appreciate the detail, especially you figuring out the dimmer switch plastic piece.

Excellent. Thanks for spending the time. You have the only RU-vid video showing how to replace the wiper switch. What a Pain!!

I haven't seen another video that's touched my soul so much as this video. It's what happens every time I undertake an "easy quick" fix.

Your struggles were very helpful. On my 91 xj with tilt I couldn't figure out how to keep the plastic linkage piece from popping to the side. I didn't realize that the small cover kept it in place. There really needs to be a thorough video on doing this. The tilt column ate TRICKY.

You. Have. No. Idea. How. Much. You. Helped. Me. Seriously, after re-installing my old ignition switch (don't work in the dash in low light), I could find nothing, not even GM column videos for my 92 xj. You made me want to breathe again thinking I wouldn't be able to get to a job interview this week I really want broke because of Uber. For all the bs you went through, you saved my ass by showing that it was still possible. Comment section respect cannot convey my gratitude. I needed that video.

Thanks a million for this video. Replaced all these items on a '95 yj. Saved me a ton of time

Thanks so much for posting this video, couldn't find any video for the wiper motor switch replacement for my base model xj, you are a lifesaver! Also your commentary is funny and informative, thanks so much!

I'm going to say that I'm grateful that you struggled so I don't have to. It's the wiper switch I needed to replace. Figured I'd replace the signal switch while I was at it because it was worn out.

Thank you soo much. everything in this video is what I have to do to my 94 YJ and I have not been able to find vids that show me how to do all of it . This a great help and showing everything that I will need before hand to make it a little easier for me to do it. Thank you again.

What I did was just replaced the horn , head light dimmer switch , directional switch , wiper switch , removed the steering wheel lock but that is OK because I have a brand new 1911 steering wheel lock in my new holster switch on my hip , 4 ways switch and key switch with after market parts. There is no longer any original parts left in the steering column any longer. no more hassles. And I also have a push button and remote starter switch to replace the key . Much easier to work on and repair in the future. So now the only thing my steering column does is steer my JEEP. It was a very inexpensive change..........Life goes on............ HAPPY JEEPING.......

Thanks for all the work you put in on this video!!!!

Man you saved my ass. Thanks for the video. My damn hight beam plastic piece fell out as well. I had no clue how to put it back in. You are the man.

Good video, I need to replace the turn signal assembly on a 1994 jeep cherokee. Thanks.

Very helpful. I need to replace my turn signal lever and this was very helpful. Only difference is my lever has cruise control with it.

My 93 YJ with 316,000 on it was doing same thing. Lever drooped a little down and would actually sometimes turn left signal light on but not blinking like that on its own. Those springs in your video help keep it centered but what keeps it right is the contact dimples on the two plates under the top part that rub and make contact with those other contacts on the lower plate. Mine were almost worn flat. I also took a thin rod and filed a square on the end to fit in the release opens in the plug. Did it also to the old one and tied a heavy shoestring to it and pulled string up thru channel. Be sure to note carefully where wires go. It was not complicated since on my part, wires were attached as a ribbon and went in order. Then with plug off new switch , I tapped it flat and to the string and it pulled right down thru there. When I release that little finger on the male terminals and pull it from plug, I needed to take a small blade and pry the finger back up so it relocked in plug. All is good.

Thank you for posting this video, at least I have some idea of what I’m in for.

That repair was a pain in the ass. Thanks for your video very helpful.

You clearly have the patience of Job. God bless ya. Lol Thank you for doing this video. 😎👍🙏

Nightmare relived. I have a ‘90 YJ and I replaced all of that as well plus the ignition switch which is down the steering column connected by a long metal rod to the tumbler. Everything. Got most parts from Omix Ada. That wiring harness I didn’t have to do too much disassembly but I could not figure it out without taking apart everything until I got an idea I went with. I pulled the blinker assembly towards me stretching out the old wiring harness. I clipped the wires at the switch. I then removed all the new wires from the new connector with a pin removing tool I bought on amazon. I then taped the new harness to the old harness and fished it all back through by pulling on the old wiring harness. I had taken many photos of the wires and connector and pushed all the wires back into the connector where they all went. Undid the old connector and connected the new one. I have that same harbor freight puller but I wish I saw your video 3 years ago when I did mine because I did not know about that fork compressor. That little clip ring was a bitch. But in the end, everything works perfect like new. You only wanted to change your tumbler and got sucked into the vortex. I only wanted to change the blinker switch because the cheap plastic emergency flasher pull switch had broken off. Then the vortex took over and everything is new now including the blinker/washer lever that snapped right on perfect. It was a complete bitch, but worth it.

Man I think I would have just spliced the new switch wires into the old wires since they were not the problem. Thanks for the ignition part, helpful as my son and I are doing it this weekend.

Man, thank you so much! I desperate to find a step-by-step video of replacement this damn wiper/turn signal switch, you save me. By the way, my Cherokee XJ '89 got exactly the same steering column mechanisms )

Thank you thank you thank you I've been trying to find a video showing how to change out the windshield wiper switch as I say again thank you thank you thank

Thanks for the video. I have to replace all that junk too

Very helpful, thanks 🙏🏼

Where do you get those vent redirecting bits from

Great video very helpful thanks

its still loose in the hole. The hole is two different switch positions. driveing me nuts. or I am completely wrong. wipers still wont shut off. a broken wire in a perfectly clean black box.what color is the wipers wire?

Thanx-answered some questions for me

Useful video. I dove into that a year ago. Now I just hooked up a horn, though it is always on when I put int he horn relay into the fuse box. I'm assuming the issue is in the steering wheel (new horn, new relay), I'm assuming it is always grounded from the wheel. Any advice?

How did you get the white indicator disc to screw down tight with the wiper switch wires behind?

Major appreciation

Hey man thanks for this video.. Sorry you had to suffer so I didn't have to suffer as badly

I have a 1990 YJ Wrangler where the ignition gets stuck at start when it cranks, and the turn signals just do not work. Hopefully is all goes well

What fuel injection kit did you use? Have a cj7 might consider using this kit on

The plug he was looking for is on the steering column itself no reason to pull out dash all plugs are on the steering column

Fucking hell...I read on Jeep forum the turn signal swipe was a 30 minute job. My Ass it is!

My 93 YJ signal doesn't activate the left turn in lest you move it around then it kicks in. I got a nother one to replace it with , BUT the original one doesnt have a delay on the wipers and the new one does, can i swap it out, i heard you cant??

Thanks for the video, I replaced the ignition cylinder and turn signal switch. Looks like i might have to go back in and replace the windshield wiper switch too, it takes a lot of downward pressure to engage the left blinker, not sure if it is the windshield wiper mechanism or not. Anyhow, when I put it all back together my steering wheel was not aligned right, everything works, but it's not aligned. I tried to take it apart and recenter it but it doesn't appear to work like this. Is the only way to mess with the idler arm and steering rod? Did I do something wrong putting it back together?

Good afternoon, could you tell me what is the name of the plastic gear that is on the switch with a cylindrical shape?

Hey just wondering where you got that dash from or if you have the link to the website of who you got it from

What is the white plastic piece That has the wires running down the column called

i cant get my wipers to turn off. 1992 jeep cherokee; the stalk has a mirror image maybe?

The little metal lever that screws to the signal switch...where does the other end go ?

The wiper switch didn't need to be replaced just because the handle broke. All he had to do was gain access to the switch and push the broken shaft out. Didn't have to completely pull the wiper switch.

Thanks my high beams have never worked. So took it all apart. Replace the turn signal switch and still not working. So I found another 95 wrangler and found the rod wasn’t being push to click the high beams. Then I found your video and saw the piece that pushes the rod was gone. Lol but I see your steering lock still isn’t working. And that’s where I’m at where does that spring go? I just found that piece I’m missing so when it comes maybe I can figure how it works if know body can tell me before then. Thanks a lot again.

the stock in the hole is challenging. still wants to jump to wipers;

Not sure if your still reading comments, but HOW did you get the steering column cover apart like that?? I’m replacing the exact same things in mine. I’ve replaced the blinker switch that sits in the middle of the steering wheel and now I’m trying to replace the wiper / washer switch, but CANNOT get the plastic off to get to it. Mine is a manual of that helps ..

omg what a nightmare hahahah now I am scared of replacing the key cylinder lol

I know how all that goes. Now taking jeep to mechanic to replace turn signal switch.

Wow! I don’t want to do that!

i pulled the 5.5 A/ now wipers stoped

Just cut the wires from the old switches and pull right out. New wires and plug slide right in. You made it harder than it had to be. That's an 1 1/2 hour job not all day...

i think i got a broken wire in the insulation. the car is 30+ years old.

Just did this job on my fathers '94....... those steering columns have to be one of the worst things about the YJs. GM built with weak plastic internals with too many joints, moving parts, and points that could breach. So poorly designed and poorly built in my opinion. THx for the video,,
