Reply to "Wiper switch Question"

First,I am NOT an electrical expert on these cars. When I have an electrical malfunction, I get my VOM (volt-ohm-meter) and starting at the fuse, I begin tracing the wire(s) that power the device. If I get back to the device, and there's a hot lead going into it, then I begin on the device. The wipers have a single multipin connector under the rt front fender, behind the wiper splash shield. Remove the shield, unplug the connector and spray it out with contact cleaner, then plug the halves back in. Still not working? Remove the whole wiper unit and test it on a workbench. A small battery or battery charger makes a handy portable 12v source. Patch-cording the thing on a workbench often results in the thing working just fine. There's no easy way to fix or even locate electrical problems. You get a VOM and start looking for broken wires, or the like.
