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?

PARTIAL SUCCESS!! Windshield wipers now work perfectly!! Found a prong in my new wiper switch not making contact with it's connector! Ever so slightly off. I hugely relieved that I don't have to change out the wiper motor!! Yet....anyways!
Now for the horns. I know the horn relay works and the parts in the steering wheel are right, so I need to check the connections at the horns and the grounds. One step closer............. |

Just curious - I'm having a similar (not identical) problem. What/how was yours resolved? Those pesky electrons.....
