Overview
The Crown Automotive 5459189B is a black aluminum wiper switch knob for Jeep CJ models. It fits the 1976-1983 Jeep CJ5, the 1976-1986 Jeep CJ7 and the 1981-1985 Jeep Scrambler.
Its black finish and set screw attachment are the two details to match against the knob being replaced. The knob is sold individually, so a vehicle needing two knobs requires two units.
Key features
- Black aluminum body
- Set screw attachment
- Direct fit as stated by Crown Automotive
- One knob per unit, sold individually
Wiper knob care and fit
The wiper switch knob is the part you touch every time you change speeds, so it sees steady handling and sun exposure. Aluminum holds up well to that use, but the knob can loosen on its shaft if the set screws back out. Checking the screws during routine dash work helps keep the knob from spinning or slipping.
When choosing a replacement, match the knob’s finish and mounting style to the switch on your CJ. Older knobs may have worn or faded paint, so compare color in daylight before buying. Removing the old knob usually means loosening the set screws and pulling it straight off the switch shaft, so keep the screws somewhere safe.
- Inspect the set screw threads for stripping
- Tighten the set screws after the knob is seated
- Clean with a mild cleaner and a dry cloth
- Replace the knob if the switch shaft is damaged
