  Q: How to Safely Service and Repair a Wiper Switch on Dodge Ram 3500?

  A:

  For wiper switch maintenance, first take out the negative cable from the battery. If you can, take off the tilt steering column lever. You should then remove the upper and lower shrouds on the steering column and then take out the lower fixed column shroud. Place the upper fixed column shroud up to see the multi-function switch in the back. Unscrew the tamper proof mounting screws with a Snap On tamper proof torx bit TTXR20B2 or the equivalent, since these hold the multi-function switch to the steering column. Take the switch gently out from the steering column, unscrew the connector on the wire harness attached to the switch and plug to remove the multi-function switch wire harness connector. After removal, follow the opposite steps, particularly when tightening: secure the switch wire harness connector screw at 2 Nm (17 in. lbs.) and the switch mount bolts at 2 Nm (17 in. lbs.).

  Q: How to Install a Wiper Switch on Dodge Ram 3500?

  A:

  You should start by disabling SRS to ensure the air bags won't deploy accidentally. For this, pull out the battery negative cable and let the capacitor run its electricity for two minutes. Rotate the multi-function switch onto its mount from the left so that the alignment pins are pushed in. Loosen all four screws on the switch and then install the two screws in the stand to secure it. Tighten these screws to 2 Nm (20 in. lbs.). Snap the wire harness connector into the switch housing at the bottom, then stick the lower shroud onto the column. Last, tighten the central screw to 2 Nm (20 in. lbs.). While ensuring the gearshift lever gap hider is engaged if you have an automatic, place the upper shroud over the lower one, line up the snap features and press with your hands to snap them locking into place. After installing the outboard screws, tighten both of them to 2 Nm (around 20 in. lbs.). After that, attach the tilt steering column knob to the tilt adjuster actuator, secure it with a 2 Nm (20 in. lbs.) tightened screw and then link the negative Battery Cable.
