I have a 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee which the turn signal has came apart.
The part that turns the wipers on/off has came off the turn signal
lever. I still have the spring that was inside and there is still a pin
through the brass rod that the piece that fell off went over but I
can't get the parts back together. I really have no idea what was
holding it on. I went by the local Chrysler dealer but they told me
that they haven't seen this happen before and I would probably need the
entire assembly. I would like to just repair this if I could just find
the missing part that I need to keep the end on the turn signal lever.
Does anyone happen to know where I could find a diagram of how this
goes together or what I will need?
Thanks in advance and I hope this makes sense. I do not know what the
proper name for the parts are.

Although the dealer is probably right, you still might be able to fix
it. I would recommend taking it to a repair shop, or mechanic to see if it
can be repaired first. Often times the dealer will not want to deal with a
miniscule taks....they would much rather sell you an assembly and charge yo
ubig bucks for it. The other alternative is to go to a junk yard and pick
up a used one and put it in yourself. often times they get about half of
what a dealer would want for theirs. My wife's car had a turn signal
switch problem.... only her started to smoke, so I had to get it fixed in a
hurry. The whole assembly cost me 28 bucks at a junk yard.
Good Luck....

The repair is to replace the multifunction switch assembly. Part costs
about $45 and it's a very easy, 15-minute job. You probably will not be
able to put the broken switch back together.
