(see pix link) p.s. if you could possibly paste this over to a new thread i would appreciate it because im still in trial but need help to fix this problem asap

replace the whole assembly.

 

Something doesn't look right - I think the lever only needs to be replaced - and I also think that some of it is broke off in the column assembly still. E-AT me is right if I'm not - But that lever your holding should have a mass on its opposite end which should slip into the assembly on the column. More than likely has to be ordered. Good luck - Post results!

 

the levers appear to be in working order but your right there is a a broken piece of plastic from where the lever attached. when i got the car this whole thing was ghetto rigged with medical tape and actually functioned for a while when the tape wore out holding it together it fell apart. Ive been searching around the web trying to find the part but have had no luck. can anyone recommend a place i might be able to find this part (or even what the parts called) online or by order.

Thanks guys your a great resource

 

Go to google - Enter 'used honda parts + your city/state/zip + junk yards', etc...

on my car its called the "Combination Switch", it contains the wiper, washer, headlight switches as well as the turn signal actuator.. Like danger says, go to a j/y or call one. Sometimes new is your best deal... Shop around - and if your going to be doing this stuff I strongly suggest you get a manual - it will really help!

 

dude i would just find a whole new assembly from a junk yard and start clean instead of keeping messing with a hot mess.
