Default Windshield Wiper switch/stalk

I need to replace the windshield wiper switch/stalk on my 2002. How difficult is it. Are any special tools required?

To change either the light or wiper multi function switch is difficult if you do it per the manual. It requires removal of the wheel and air bag. Do a search in both the general and tech forums on the switches. There was a good DIYwith pictures on how to perform the repair without removing the wheel. It requires making a small tool, but if you are at all competent with tools it should not be a problem.

The wiper switch is much harder than the light switch. You'll need to remove the steering shroud for sure.

I'll take a better look tonight as I have one laying out in my garage.

I did this about 2 months ago. Was not difficult at all. I reviewed the posts on replacing the turn signal, and followed those instructions to access the switch. Took me about an hour, and it was the first time I removed any of the interior panels, so I was quite cautious and slow.
