67 chevy wipers
First off hello everyone .Can someone help me figure out this gremlins. I turn my Wil e rd on low or high they won't work. But if I push on the sprayer button on the switch the wipers work but only for a few seconds. I can also control the speed of the wiper by pushing in the switch. But can't get them to work on the low or high setting.It h a s me scratching more than my head now.

Re: 67 chevy wipers

You are only getting a ground through the Dark Blue wire to the wiper. Is the wiper switch mounted in the dash? If so, with the ignition switch on turn the switch to the low position, reach up under the dash and wiggle the connector on the back of the wiper switch to see if you have a bad connection there. Try the high position also. If that doesn't do anything take a jumper wire with alligator clips on both ends and connect one end to bare metal on the wiper (not the screws) and the other end to bare metal on the cab and see what happens. Post back Edit: Also make sure that the connectors on the wiper are connected like the picture below. LockDoc .

Re: 67 chevy wipers
So if I apply a good ground if the clips work. Would that take care of the issue found with the clips

Re: 67 chevy wipers
Ok. I just tried the jumper wire no change in condition. Reached hand up to back of switch wipers worked as long as I supplied lite pressure to the connector. Thinking I need to pull the switch and check both ends of the connector.

Yes, try cleaning the terminals and make sure the nut holding the switch in the dash is tight. LockDoc

Re: 67 chevy wipers
Found the issue with the wipers. Someone didn't put the retaining bezel nut on. Which cause a weak ground. Now onto the gas gauge.
Big thanks to Lock Doc Last edited by LockDoc; 10-03-2018 at 03:54 PM. |

Re: 67 chevy wipers
Any ideas on where I can locate a bezel nit. The one the tightens the switch to the dash. Local hardware that usually has everything doesnt care it
