I started my car tonight and noticed despite the headlight switch being fully in the off position, my dash lights are on and my license plate light is .
Odd. Never saw that before. Headlight switch I imagine.... Thoughts? David Addedum-and saw what I thought was a wisp of smoke come from under my dash at the windshield....perhaps my imagination? |

David,
Well, that clears up the readings! Those that read this are open. Which is what I would expect. By your hooking up your spare wiper motor to the car's harness, and not working, tells me that the 924 wiper switch may not work on your year of car. Try putting your original switch back in. Tom |

Tom Tom, Yes, I'm beginning to think that as well. Further testing revealed this: Testing the spare(known to be good on ohm test)-hooking it up to the cars harness and NOT attaching pin 53a yields functionality but with the stalk position incorrect. Attaching 53a immediately blows the fuse. I might add, testing of the current installed motor where 53a is reading zero ohm and 53a NOT attached yields both high and low functionality with the stalk position incorrect. The stalk switch I have is a brand new 924 unit (I had hoped to power a elec washer pump with it) and I had heard the switch was "plug and play" but I'm starting to doubt that (at least in a 1973 model, which I understand had some wiring differences). The next step is to try your suggestion and go back to the original switch and see if I can get functionality on the spare in the correct stak positions. I thin I'll also do a very close part comparisson when I have both the switches out as well. We're gaining on the problem! I suspect we'll find a multi pronged problem, the original installed motor is bad AND the 924 switch in a 1973 isn't plug and play. We shall see.... |
