so i just got my new wiper switch in the mail today and it works fine the problem is there is no nut.the on that holds the switch in the dash. the size is different than the switch it replaces so i cant reuse that one. i went hunting around town today for the correct one with no luck. any suggestions? i really need my wipers back. rainex is great but not the same and snow season is coming. help please.
Take the switch to a Fastenal. They will have the nut you need.
what is a fastenal ?
If the original nut is bigger than the threads on replacement switch, you could try wraping the threads with tape, or a small bit of cloth.
I have found odd little parts like the nut for a electrical part at True Value before. Or you could also try Granger.
Fastenal is the largest chain fastener company in the world. They have everything, can get anything and if not, you can have it made.
