"1966 Chevrolet Impala: How to Remove The Wiper Switch"

Blue 1966 Chevrolet Impala Front Left View

How can I remove the wiper switch on 1966 Chevrolet Impala? Does it unscrew anywhere? I have the push button bit out but can’t get the rest out. Should the Electrical connection part just pop off?

Answer: Yeah, the black plastic connector stays with the wiring. There is usually a latch to help keep it attached to the switch that you will have to pry back, and they often break when they’re that old.
As far as the switch being held in, I don’t remember too well. There may be a spring steel retaining clip behind the dash if there’s no bezel on the front. Look (or feel) for a tang that is pulled away from the switch.
If it has a bezel, that looks kind of like a nut, but with little notches in it, instead of 6 sides. There are special tools for many of those, or sometimes a long needle-nose pliers will work. Turn counter-clockwise like a nut.
