I have a 98 Jeep Cherokee Sport 2x4
I turned on the high beams and a loud crack sound happened. The wiper/signal/highbeam lever broke. It still sits in there, but just pulls out. I can ge the washer fluid to spray, and the this makes the wipers go on the 3 wipe mode.. or it goes on the 15 second mode continuously now and I can't turn it off. The signal still works bot ways but I just hold it up enough to engage the signal, as I am scared to damage it further. I thinking I could just 2-minute apoxy the metal rod that seemed to break off back together>\?? Or is it fairly easy to replace it?? I have never fixed anything mechanicle before. Is there a video available as a tutorial?
Thanks, Colleen L

It isn't that hard to replace. To do so, you will need general tools and a steering wheel puller. (NOTE) If you have a driver's side air bad, disconnect the battery at least 30 minutes prior to starting repairs. Remove the horn cover and then the bolt that holds the steering wheel in place. Next mark the steering wheel and shaft so you can get the steering wheel back in the same position. Then remove the steering wheel with the puller. Once you remove the steering wheel, you will have access to the part. Carefully disconnect the wiring and remove the switch. Reverse the
