I am trying to figure out what I have here. I noticed that there are two different wiper switches available. 70-72 and 73-76.
This is the one that is in the best condition. Notice that it only has four pins on the left side. I have already attached a switch that I got from davep, which will trigger my electric washer pump that I plan to install. This is the second one that I have. Being in worse condition out of the two. It has five pins on the left side. The extra one being a brown, which is ground correct? The switch is also different in that the plunger that would activate the washer fluid has an electrical contact I am running a wiring harness from a 72 car. Which switch do I need to use? Am i missing pieces from the first switch maybe? Im stumped here... Pete |

OK.
Green/white shows that your wipers are probably not completely parked. Don't worry about that for now. The other two black ones show that your wiper motor is probably history or you have a short in the harness. Can you switch the meter to the lowest ohm scale and repeat the measurement. You should get different readings, black/blue should be higher. If bothe are still 0 it may be the harness. |
