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 |

Under the fuse panel? was your wiper switch originally on the column or on the dashboard? i know the pin layout between early and late columns don't match. there also might have been a switch in pinlayout for the later style columns right at around '73 ... make sure the wire colors match on both connector parts ...
