Help I have snapped of the wiper stalk in my ford ka?

I've replaced the same switch assembly on a couple of Fiesta's It's very easy, the cowl around the steering column is held in place with 4/5 screws, with this off you will see a single screw that holds the switch assembly in place, then you twist/rotate the assy towards you then unplug the connector.

If it would help I have the full write up with pictures from the Ford manual if you contact me on nige110162(at symbol)hotmail.co.uk I'll mail you the info

oh ok then, have you changed this part yourself. Is it a difficult job or is it quite easy as i would like to attempt this myself to save some money

Hi Charlie, you can only replace it as a whole unit from memory, and the time taken to strip it down for just the one arm, you could have fitted the whole unit and have several cups of tea!

Thanks Nigel that is helpful although i was hoping to be able to just replace the one stalk for the wipers not the entire thing. Is this possible??

Easy to replace, remove the shroud around the steering column, the switch is held in place with a single phillips screw and an electrical connector, here's one I found on ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/96-09-FORD-KA-COMBINATION-COLUMN-SWITCHES-STALKS-VGC-NON-HAZARD-SWITCH-TYPE-/390367918639?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item5ae3bdba2f

I'm fairly certain that it's the same unit as fitted to MK4 & 5 Fieasta's and Puma's
