HELLO
It is not difficult, however the steering wheel and the srs clock spring have to be removed to access the two screws holding the switch in place. If you attempt it, disconnect ground side of battery before you begin. And do not rotate clock spring with steering wheel removed. Good luck

What he said, just turn the steering wheel so the flat part (bottom) is facing the side you are working on, then you can reach the 2 screws that hold it on.
Then wiggle up and out.

Hey there...
I posted on here... With pics on fixing the wiper arm switch. I had one that would not work in the cold weather. Took the switch off, cleaned all the old grease, regreased and replaced.. Now works perfect.
Search "WIPER SWITCH FIX" on the forum search.
Not saying yours may be beyond repair, but easy to do. Took me about an hour. Tricky part was after removing the 2 little screws, use a flat head screw driver to gently pry the switch away from the column.

It is in the DI tech section.

How do I find the post with pics of fixing the wiper switch? How do I find the DI tech section? My switch goes to fast when I hit a bump, then I push in and hold it to turn it off. Please help if possible.
