Now, I can't remember orientation relative to lever. First, does switch operation in clockwise direction for "on"? And second, is knob n line with switch lever?
I have never operated the wipers before taking things apart, so I have no point of reference.

It only moves about a 1/4-turn I believe counter clockwise? | | | | | Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 4,263 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 4,263 | | | | | | Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 10,270 Renaissance Man | | Renaissance Man Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 10,270 | The bezel only goes in the dash hole one way due to the notch as described above, but you can spin the knob 180 degrees and attach it wrongly. It still works but the knob is upside down. I did it and have been too lazy to crawl under the suck hole area to take it apart and do it right.

But my question was what is the positional relationship between knob and switch arm. This relationship dictates position or "direction" of knob when wiper in off position. I want mine pointing directly away from windshield. Well, I tried and missed and will leave it as is as I had to press on knob and removing now will destroy the knob.
Oh, the answer is the knob lever does not line up with switch arm,but should be somewhere in the 15-25 degree to the left range.
