Hi, I'm Mike Green. I'm one of the owners of 1A Auto. I want to help you save time and money repairing and maintaining your vehicle. I'm going to use my 20 plus years experience restoring and repairing cars and trucks like this to show you the correct way to install parts from 1AAuto.com. The right parts installed correctly, that's going to save you time and money. Thank you and enjoy the video.
In this video, we're going to show you how to replace the turn signal/cruise/wiper activator stalk on this 1986 GMC Jimmy, same as a whole bunch of different GM cars from the '80s and to the early '90s with this type of stalk. The only tools you'll need, you'll need a string or a piece of wire and also maybe some pliers and a flashlight will help.
To replace one of these stalks is pretty easy. This is your cruise control switch, but it's not actually your wiper switch. It's a activator for your wiper switch. Your wiper switch is actually in the steering column, but to replace this stalk, you basically just pull out firmly and then you want to kind of leave it right here.
What you need to do now is find the other end of this wire underneath the dash. On this truck what I'm going to do is I'm going to take out three screws in this part. It's going to differ depending on your vehicle. If you don't have AC then you can probably find this wire pretty easily. This truck has AC so I have to take out the lower AC duct. I'm just loosening up. I took out one screw, I'm loosening up two others. Then on this truck, my AC duct, just kind of pulls right out here. You may want to put your head up under here and shake this wire back and forth and you can see the wire and where it connects into. On this vehicle, it connects into a clip.
I'm going to take this out of its place and disconnect the lead. There's your lead. Here's the end of my lead. I got a piece of wire here and there's a little hole in it. I put my wire through that hole, bend it and secure it on here. Now, what I can do is kind of feed everything up in there. It goes right up into here. Then it comes right out. Now, you're going to unhook your wire. Here's my new one from 1A Auto and you can see, it's all the same. Many times the reason you want to replace these is just because the graphics on a new one are so much nicer and brighter and generally and sometimes this piece here will break off.
To reinstall, I'm just actually going to take my wire or maybe I'll use string or whatever. I'm just going re-strip it and do a nice new string. That way I know nothing will happen. It won't break or something. A couple of things I found. You can just take this sheath and kind of pull it right out of there because you can actually just slide that in afterwards. Also, this little insulator that goes onto here, while it's a good thing if you can get it down in there, most of the time what I find is it just provides just a little too much bulk to get everything down through.
Take your wire. Make sure it gets started into the right area, down underneath that switch. You see I'm kind of twisting the wire that just kind of gets the connector to twist around a little bit. Now, you can see I've got the connector down on this end so I'm going to pull it up through. I am going to put my switch in and push it all the way in. Now, what I'm going do, I'm going to take this plastic sheath and I press the wire into it and then I can just slide the sheath right up on the wire in the column and that protects it than the columns, tilting. Now, I can connect the harness. I can clip it back into where it goes. Then I'll put my AC duct back in and we're all set.

Works as expected, albeit a bit stiff, likely due to newness. Install video was very informative. Will use your products in the future.
Their instructional video was perfect

The cruise control washer stalk installed with no issues. I watched the always helpful installations videos and they are great.
Shipping was fast with no issues as with all 1aauto orders.
I gave it 4 stars vs 5 because the the wiper logo on the stalk was missing the black writing like the original stalk in my Jeep Cherokee. I was trying to go for a full stock look as it was going into a restoration. But it still looks and worked great.
great product and service

Hello: I have a 1986 el camino, w/cruise control but it does not have intermittent wiper feature, just low & hi. I could not find a cruise control w/o the intermittent wiper. so I bought this one with this feature. your price reasonable & video instructions were excellent. I installed the in about 45 min, the cruise works fine & right on speed, my wiper have lo & hi (NO DELAY FEATURE) & windshield washer works, I very satisfied & instruction very good. thank for your installation video good job.

Works great, tough to thread the wire down the column

Everything works great and the install was simple enough. Threading that wire down the inside of the column was too tough for me though. I just ran it outside the column and taped it down.
Perfect Fit, easy Installation

I had to change this part out after the washer tab broke off. Fit and finish is excellent and I am amazed how much this part adds to the interior. Ordering was easy and the price was excellent. Shipping was fast and secure. The on line How To Video was invaluable and installation was easy and all functions are working perfectly. I highly recommend 1A and this part.

It was easier to remove the old lever and install the new one than I had anticipated, the bright lettering looks much better than the faded/illegible lettering on the old lever...plus the cruise control works again!! I would recommend this lever.

Very poor quality
Shane

Very poor Chinese knockoff. Does not match factory inlay on chrome wiper fluid activation. Does not have full range of motion when operating chrome wiper fluid activation. When attempting to turn wiper fluid activation it stops short and snags on the plastic housing catching on wiring.
Good
