No power to wipers 1973-SOLVED Options

[0396]

Off topic, what ever become of your " master cylinder" tread?
This is where you wanted to retread one of the ports on the M/C.
Did you have success or?

The horn relay is on top of the fuse panel. The positions sometimes changed over the course of production (the socket just plugs into a hole in the panel) so it's best to check the wire colors going to the socket against the wiring diagram.

Look for red, red/white, black/yellow, and brown/white wires.

HalfMoon,
That relay is J 13 and is called the fresh air blower relay, but is really just a power relay. Mine was intermittent and drove me crazy until I cleaned both the sockets and the relay prongs. If it acts up again, if you already cleaned the sockets and prongs, try slightly spreading the prongs a bit. Makes for a tighter electrical connection.

ok I am not a very smart man - am I looking in the cabin at the fuses just forward of my left knee and shin when I am driving (I don't see any relays there -do I have to remove something to see it) or am I looking at the relay board under the plastic cover on the drivers side in the engine compartment?
and once I locate it, I can swap out one from the headlight motors to test?
Haynes shows a relay plate (what I think is in the engine compartment) and the fuse box relays (which is what I think I am looking for but have no idea where it is)

wait a minute I think I see them like somebody said earlier in this thread or another ABOVE the fuse panel
I see two outboard larger screw heads 1 looks to be original cheese head & 1 phillips with a domed head (obviously a replacement) and two smaller inboard screws both phillips I assume since the outboard screws are mismatched those are the ones i need to remove?

Yes, those. The whole thing will hang down by the wiring harness when you do that; the relays are on the top side of it.
