turn signal/windsheild switch issue

[ls954]

im having an issue with my windsheild washer switch on the side of the steering wheel. When i press the button for the washer the wipers move but no fluid will come out, but when i turn on the wipers after a while or so the fluid will start squirting out on its own and sometimes itll just keep squirting and wipers will keep on moving even after i turn off the wipers.

Also when i have the cruise control on and i set the wipers to the fastest setting itll cut off the cruise control and im not able to set it again unless i take the wipers out of the fastest setting. Im guessing this has something to do with the whole assembly switch on the side of the steering wheel, any one know where i can get one other having to go to a junk yard and try to find one?

is there a way i can trouble shoot it to make sure its either the switch or the handle? cause the the issue is also affecting my cruise control when i set the wipers to high.

Mine went and I got an el cheapo from Rock Auto for about $37. All the little clicks on my original weren't working, I think the only thing that worked was my washer and the few token wipes that come with it.

My advice, go with the Auto Zone one or splurge for the Delco part. Motor Mite (Dorman) might have one too. The one I got could be better, I'm still missing the high speed on the wipers. I have no delay, but that's for a different reason.

any one have instructions on how to dismantle the steering wheel column to replace it?
