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? |

Doh! Nevermind, I found it. I had reverted back to the original wiper/turn signal switch because the one you sent me kept blowing fuses when I put the right signal on. Anyhow, apparently the metal tab for the purple/black wire was broken off at some point, so I had no 12v to that wire and therefore no high speed wipers. Installed Kevin's switch again, and immediately got high speed and low speed back. I then investigated why the new turn signal switch kept blowing fuses. There are three grounds on the back of the switch on the black plate. One of the ground tabs had been bent up and when it was installed in the column and tightened down, it would short against another wire. Flattened it out and no more blown fuses. SWEET! Thanks for the help fellas, and Kevin as usual (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
