Wiper switch

Does the wiper switch on a 78 have the function of pushing it in to spray fluid? Mine has a separate button to spray and it looks like it has been added be the previous owner. I have a replacement bezel and there is no hole for the spray on the replacement.

Thanks guys

Yes they do. Just get the right one for your option and year.

Awesome thanks for the reply. Might have a busted switch that needs replacing.

Thanks again

Re: Wiper switch

Might trace out the washer lines and make sure there isn't a PO added washer pump somewhere under the hood. A lot of folks, myself included, have added an aftermarket washer pump after the OEM wiper motor driven pump died. I found a way to use the OEM push to spray washer switch in the existing wiper switch.

Sounds like your PO may have found an alternative solution.
