Can't seem to catch a break, kind of embarrassing. While I was putting the switch back together after taking pictures of it, I was having problems with the little piece of aluminum at the bottom that bounces the switch back up, messed around with that several times, taking it apart and putting it back together when one of the times I was putting it back together, the spring and bb go flying out.. found the little bb, spring is nowhere to be found... Who would've thought a wiper switch would be the biggest headache I have with the car. Thanks for your time and help @bmotojoe & @interpon I'll get back when I either find the spring or decide to just buy a new switch.

did you find out where the bb and spring go to? I’m on the same predicament and trying to avoid buying a new switch which will cost more than $200 with shipping
