Re: wiper washer problems

Pull the steering wheel and see if the wires are cracked or broken. If its a tilt?

Re: wiper washer problems

Sounds like it might be wiring or maybe the switch.

Re: wiper washer problems

My 81 has what you call a ghost operating mine, they will just come on when they want to, I don't even have to touch the switch. If that is what your is doing and you have the delay option with your wipers then it's your delay moduale, it is contected to the switch under the dash. It is a very common problem with this year.

Oops, I read that wrong, this problem can also be cause by the same moduale as it is conected to the same switch.
