Hi,
I read Sir Andy's article and it poses a question. I recently replaced this switch with one from a 73. I have a 72, but it has movable seats... So, now I have no wipers, but that could just be cause I did not push the connnector on the right way. But, here are the two questions. If I have the early wiring harness, without the intermitent wiper function, would the newer switch work at all? Currently my blinkers now work and shut off when the wheel it turned, but the wipers do not function. I am heading out to track this down, but I would hate to chase my tail when the answer is I have the wrong switch in there. If so, I can put the old one back and fix it with parts from the newer one... Pinout the same? different? Second question. If I have the newer switch, and I ge that to work, can I add the two wired to the plug (or pillage a plug from a 73 out back) and along with the relay make it work like stock???? Rich |

So, Im confused.
I have put a newer switch in the car, I cant remember ever using the wipers since I did this. I put the switch in to fix the blinkers. So, anyways I have no wipers now. I checked the power at the fuse. Fuse 8 (counting from the left) power while key on, power while switch on, power while swith off. So, maybe I need a new switch? There is no relay in the front trunk (its a late 72) so I dont have intermitent wipers (yet) What to check...any ideas aside from removing the steering wheel? I am starting to think that maybe the switch that I put in was from a 73 (most likely, all the parts I have are from 73 or newer) is wired up differently to allow for the relay/intermitant wipers. So, does anyone know if these wiper switches on the column are interchangable? The blinker side works, the wiper side does not. Rich |
