1973 914-4 - - - - My wipers, horn, cigarette lighter and hot air fan won't work. I'm getting no current at fuse #8. I've replaced the wiper switch, checked the ground, cleaned all the connections at the bottom of the steering column and replaced the horn relay, still nada. I'm an amateur at this, especially electrical current flow. My turn signals work, which to me means I'm getting current to/through that switch. But no current out of the wiper switch with the key on and wiper switch on. What am I missing?

srreality,
The power to fuse #8 comes thru the fresh air relay, J-13. Wiggle it around while the radio is on and see if you get intermittent contact. If so, you will need to clean the contacts of the socket and the prongs on the relay. You can spread the prongs very slightly to help get a good contact. Tom |
