Default 1993 Multi-Switch question (Cruise, Wipers, Turn)

The multi-switch on my 1993 has cruise control on it. I can't seem to find a replacement part anywhere - all of the ones I can find do not have the cruise button on them.

Just wondering if cruise was an original option in 1993? And was it located on the multi-switch stalk on the column?

I found this, but it says it does not fit my vehicle (though it looks identical):
Amazon Amazon

Any help would be appreciated (wipers only work at highest speed right now).

It would help if we knew what 1993 vehicle you have. How did you narrow it down to the problem being the multi-function switch? On later model Blazers extremely common for the circuit board in the wiper motor to go bad. Not sure about 1993 trucks. Those circuit boards aren't expensive in later models and very easy to replace. Here's a link to a 1993 S10 Blazer circuit board just for an example:

Could be your multi-function switch, but if you did not do any testing you could end up replacing something that doesn't need to be replaced.

I thought since I had posted the question in the Full-Size K5 forum, that there was only one 1993 that qualified! 1993 GMT415, 350 Auto, 2-Door. I may end up replacing something that doesn't need replacing (right now), but then again - there is very little that couldn't stand replacement in this 30 year old truck. I thought I would start with the stalk, which has become finicky for other reasons as well... and then move on from there.

I missed the forum it was in. To answer your question, yes it was available in '93 K5. It appears that all the GM cars trucks used the same stalk for that time period for that type of cruise control setup. Attached is a pic from the '93 K5 service manual. So if it looks like the same stalk you have, is for GM and for under $20, I'd personally go with it.

Thank you for the photo! Much appreciated! Any chance there was a part number attached to that information?

I think I might order the one from Amazon, it can always be returned if it doesn't work...

Thank you again for taking the time to reply!

It seems the correct part number is: GM 19353957

As an FYI, I ordered the Amazon part and will check back here when I have time to install it... it might be nice to know if it will work for others.

As an aside, I replaced the Wiper Pulse Board, and the wipers are working again.

... now I have to figure out where I am losing coolant!
