Tryin to help a buddy get his 63 back together, here is a pic of the headlite switch that came in it ( as far as I can tell its factory ), he doesnt remember how it was wired, and I cant find anything on how it should. It only has 1 terminal ( I know it grounds itself to the dash ) but is it power in, but no out put to wiper motor, this one has me baffled. Any help ??

Thanks in advance !!!!

Okay, I guess you're asking about the wiper switch, and not a headlight switch like your title says, right?
Here's a diagram that may help you out....

The wiper switch has one wire which is actually a ground rheostat. That wire runs to the wiper motor and the motor has a hot wire which comes from the fuse panel.

Yes, it is the wiper switch ( had a brain fart this morning ).
Thanks for the help.
