    Winshield wiper switch

    I am having trouble finding a knob that fits my wiper switch and was wondering if you guys had any answers.


    The switch has a hexagon shaped place where the knob sets and then a longer post sticking out the middle (washer switch?)


    My switch looks like this one...




    The knobs I ordered do not work and only have a hole with a spring steel type locking thingie on it to lock it onto the shaft (make any sense?)


    Does anyone know what knob fits this type switch and maybe where I could get one?


    Oh, it's a 1974 Cherokee.....

    I think you need the older chrome knob that was held on with a screw. I don't think you can buy a new one you'll need to find a used one.

      Would it be hard to upgrade to a newer switch maybe?


      If not does anyone have the old knob they want to part with?

          I bought a new switch from LMC truck.
          Just the switch thy might have the knob also.
          It was listed for late 60's pickup

            GM never used the chrome knob. the switch might work but it won't look right.

                The knob that your jeep uses has a center button that pushes in the washer switch portion of the wiper switch assembly to activate the pump.
                In late 1975 they changed the switch and knob to a "one-piece". The switch no longer had the button in the middle to activate the washer pump.
