Questions & Answers

Is this part compatible with a 1994 Ford Bronco?

It's for a Jeep CJ, not a Jeep Wrangler.

Is this compatible with a Jeep Cherokee Sport from the year 2001?

No, I'm sorry; 13318 is the SKU number for this item. 72-inch, size 06 Jeep CJ and SJ models from 1979.

Are these a good replacement for the standard round knobs on the right side of the steering wheel for the vent, defrost, and other pull knobs?

This only applies to the headlight switch. Vent, defrost, and other features are seasonal and differ from year to year.

What's the best way to get rid of the old knob and shaft? Is it possible to just pull it out? Is there a method to it, or is it just a ruse? thanks?

They should be able to push in fairly easily. Depending on your switch, you can remove it by pressing a button on the opposite side of the plug.

Don't expect it to last long; mine broke down after only 4000 miles and a year of use
3/5

As others have pointed out, aluminum shafts are prone to failure, but I already purchased one, so I guess I'll find out. Getting it to engage the switch and stay in was a real pain - I had to press down on the switch's release button as hard as I could while pushing the shaft in and wiggling it. I wouldn't be surprised if the tiny retention barbs quickly break or wear away. Guys, there's a reason the factory one was steel; for an extra nickel, you can have it made at least as well as OEM. To be honest, I'm not sure why I keep buying omix- ada/rugged ridge parts at all, they're almost always clearly designed to be cheap first, barely serviceable for 1 day after warranty, and so on. br>br>EDIT: After a year of use, you will need to update your software. For the past few days, the knob has been difficult to pull and push, and I finally discovered why when it came off in my hand for the second time. The cheap, flimsy aluminum shaft BENT at some point (I'm not sure how; it's never been handled) and became stuck in the tube it slides into. I bent it back with my fingers and light pressure, and it works for now, but I'm downgrading my rating to one star from two, and if I could, I'd give this product zero stars. I guess I'll have to look for a usable one in the junkyard, because 40-year-old OEM parts are probably better than this garbage. br>br>Since I installed the shaft and knob, I've only driven about 4000 miles on this truck. This is an inexcusably poor product. SAVE YOUR MONEY AND DO NOT PURCHASE THIS.

The original shaft was made of steel, but this one is made of aluminum! Don't hold your breath for it to be used again
3/5

Because the shaft seemed a little larger than the original that I removed, I had to install and remove it a few times because it didn't work smoothly. My headlight switch's retaining nut was slightly drilled out, which solved the problem quickly. However, because I removed it two or three times (and they are tricky), the aluminum wore down and the switch remained engaged. Then I went to the auto parts store and purchased a steel shafted one with a chrome removable knob in the help section.

What's the deal with Omix? I can't say this is a review for this specific knob, but I purchased an entire set of knobs and controls for my CJ
3/5

These knobs have a really bad fit and finish. Instead of being just a circle, the stock knobs have pictures on them. The fact that the circles in the center of the knobs are not even the same color is my biggest gripe. However, it fits and functions. br>br>Some of them appear to be chrome, while others appear to be almost white. br>br>.

Soft metal at a low cost
3/5

The shaft is made of a soft metal that isn't steel. It actually bent as I slid it into the switch without exerting any real force. I think it'll work fine now that I've straightened it out and finally been able to click it into place, but if it gets bumped at all while it's being pulled out, it'll be done.

The switch is not engaged
3/5

The switch accepts the post as it slides into it. Pulling on the light switch causes the unit to slide out. In terms of application, it's useless.

Three out of five stars
3/5

it appears to be fine- However, after a short period of use, the knob dislodged from the shaft. It's now adhered to the wall.

It's the ideal substitute
5/5

This is a direct replacement for the light switch in my 1972 Jeep J4000. Parts for that 3/4-ton Jeep pickup are hard to come by!.
