Hello again,
I've sent Kevin a PM on some of the issues I'm facing with my turn signals and wipers, but perhaps I need to focus on one problem at a time. Currently, when I move the wiper switch up one notch, they function at slow speed. However, when the switch is up all the way, they stop in place, as in, they don't return. This is on a base '73. Any ideas? |

Okay, finally got around to troubleshooting this. Again, I have no high speed wipers, but slow works fine. I tested for 12V at the black/purple wire, and got next to nothing. The green wire is getting 12V just fine. Where does the black/purple run to? Its not on a relay, correct? So I would assume it goes right back to the wiper switch on the column? This is on a '73 1.7 without intermittent wipers.
