I am attempting to diagnose my non-working wipers by testing the switch directly.
So far I have removed the steering wheel and removed the 4 screws inside. The stuff in the column is 'loose' now, but I can't actually remove anything, only pull it out by about 1/2" or so. Is there a trick? I am afraid of breaking something if I pull too hard. |

Ok, at some point I will need a new wiper switch. In the meantime, I would just like to wire in the wiper to the existing toggle switch that the previous owner mounted on the fusebox.
Do the wiper wires run near the fusebox (I couldn't see them there when I looked today)? Or do I need to cut them at the connector in the steering column, and then feed new wires back to toggle switch? |

You make a wiring mistake and it could be expensive. Don't drive the car in the rain until a new switch comes in. Price should be reasonable. |
