C4 Wiper Control Switch
Finally got the right deal on a C4. Now it's time to fix all the things that made it a good deal! I haven't had any luck with sourcing a multi function switch for my 95 C4. I was under the assumption that it was just a typical 90's GM column wiper switch. I'm a big fan of 90's Era GM cars and have rebuild the tilt column a few times. I just can seem to find much on the C4. I expected it to be a readily available, reasonably priced part. But....
any help from the old pros would be much appreciated!
I already have the turn signal switch assembly, new ignition key cylinder and multi function lever ready to be installed. I just need the wiper switch / signal pivot before i get started.
The wipers won't turn off... that's the reason for replacing it.
Thanks for your time.

From what I understand, the 94-96 are the only ones that work. And they are next to impossible to find. There is some part in it that commonly breaks and I don't know what it is. I'd like to find one that is broken to see what breaks and if it can be replicated. I'm a retired engineer and I like to tinker with stuff like that and come up with a fix. I currently print a repair kit for the C4 power seat tracks and the snap together key fob for the C4. Both are very successful. If this is a makeable part, I'd like to add it to the things I can make. So, if you do find a replacement, don't toss the broken one. I'd like to have it to see what breaks.

I hunted for a long time for a 1990 one the first and worst of the ones on the stalk. For some crazy reason GM didn't just use there parts bin for other cars they made a Corvette specific one. The delayed wiper feature does not work. But they do turn on when needed. To shut them off is easy you just depress the clutch shut off the key and when they park themselves turn the key back on and let the clutch out.

No need to do all of that stuff with the clutch and the key...
