Need to know if it's the pivot mechanism up top, or if it's the switch at the base of the column.

You can adjust the switch at the base of the column (move it towards the steering wheel) if the problem is switch related. Follow the rod that moves when you move the lever.

its a stripped down military k5. rod? i didnt see a rod

anyone i really need to get this done and sold

Metal rod runs down the drivers side of the column, but on an assembled column, you have to look down under the dash sheetmetal to see them. Both the ignition and headlight switches are run off of metal rods that go down to the base of the column.

ok the rod for the light on my m1009 is missing. what now?

 

[dyeager535]

Gotta get another one I guess, and I have a feeling you can't easily put one in there without disassembling the column.

crap, guess i will try to find a new one

thanks

My M1009 had the column missing when I got it.When I put the column in that rod fell out,but I was able to get it back in without tearing it down.

ok any idea how to get this out of a column? thanks

 

[1-tonmudder]

Yeah take the dimmer part off the column and it should fall out.Mine did.
