I was able to salvage two 2 of these control valves from a doner fishbowl. Basically they're the on/off switch for the windshield wipers.
I don't even know if they work or not, so I thought I'd take them apart and clean them. There's a procedure outlined in "da book" (fishbowl manual), with a drawing on page 33.
I see there's 5 pieces inside including two springs and a rubber "o" ring. Are there replacement kits for these? If I take it apart, I assume that at the very least, I'll have to replace the "o" ring.
Before I get into this, I thought I'd ask for advice. Would it be better to just find two new control valves, or am I on the right track?
Thanks in advance, I've really appreciated all the help on this board.

If these wiper switches are anything like the MCI's, they are available new for under $10. Not hardly worth rebuilding.

No, it's not a switch, it's an air valve for the wipers.
