Crazy Question (Let Me Know If You Have Tried)

[72 Cheyenne K20]

Hi Guys,

I just received an intermittent wiper delay switch and module for my 80 Jimmy. The S & M being 45 years old are need of a deep cleaning. I disassembled both with no issues but have a question about the switch lens.

The lens is connected to a metal frame that clips to the switch housing. (I'll post a pic here in a little while) I don't think there is a way to remove the lens from the switch housing without destroying the lens.

So, my thought was to just dunk the lens and housing under water to clean it. There's nothing to damage from getting wet and the water that get in between the housing and lens should eventually dissipate, even if I need to stick it in a bag of rice.

So, has anyone tried this? Will it work? Something I'm missing? Let me know what you think.

Thanks, Scott
