I've got a '74 2.0 and am now getting it ready for fist show of the season. The windshieled wipers worked fine last fall when I parked it but don't now for some reason. I did restore the dash & instruments over the winter including cleaning up the heat/defrost controls, installing a push-button start switch (key switch was unreliable in crank position), and installed a MOMO wheel w/hub. The connections at the wiper motor, fuse block, and bottom of stalk switch are all solid. I get no power at the wiper motor connection with key on and wiper switch on. Could this be a dead spot in the wiper motor OR poor contacts in the stalk switch? I dread pulling those stalk switches from the column. Hoping for something simple. OTHER IDEAS?
