I have ‘99 FLD120 and can not for the life of me figure out how to get the wiper knob off so I can change the module. Seems like it should be simple, but complicating simple is my super power.

I had a 2000 fld it had a set screw. Seems like it was at like the 5 o’clock position.

if its the style i'm thinking it is...there should be a small locking allen head screw in the base of the knob that tightens down on the switch.
