How hard to go backwards?

[YakkoWarner]

My 1989 Suburban has the high-low beam switch mounted at the base of the column with the actuator rod going up to the turn signal/wiper/cruise multifunction lever. The rod does not seem to be connected to anything at the upper end anymore, I suspect the plastic has probably broken. The switch works just fine if you reach up there with your finger and press it, so I know there is no wiring failure.

I am wondering how difficult it would be to go back to a floor mounted button for the high-low beam function because frankly the thought of disassembling the column gives me nightmares. Has anyone does this?

I would assume that a floor mounted switch would be easy to install. Probably get one on Amazon cheap enough. The trick would be accessing the wires in the steering column. Maybe there is a wiring diagram on this site somewhere, so that you could take the wires from under the dash or something.

The floor switch will plug directly into the column harness. You can make you a jumper lead to floor or dash mount the switch.

Industry should quit with column dimmers because idiots keep getting their feet stuck in the steering wheel! I know, should've posted in the funny stuff...
