The car is a LHD and the dash is disassembled. So far we've found the intermittent switch and the wipe wash function. We cannot locate the switch that turns on the wipers. Any ideas where to find it or where it should be?

Thanks, Ken

wipers turn on by pressing in the end of the blinker lever

when you press the blinker lever you produce a skirt of washing liquid on the windscreen because you activate the electric motor of the reservoir together with the motor of the wipers, if you release the button the wipers will move until the cyle finishes, and then they will stop

Pull Switch to select speeds is on shift console closest to driver.

Is this switch in addition to the stalk (on the column) that handles the wipe-wash function and the intermittent pull switch ?


If you (or anybody) had a pic of an assembled instrument panel/console of a 73 that would help as we are flying blind.

Yes, we've figured that part (wipe-wash function) out. It's turning on the wipers for a constant cycle i.e. low, high and intermittent that we can't seem to figure out. Based on the schematic it looks like there should be another pull switch (like Chris mentioned) or some function that I have not found in the Stalk Switch.

I guess if we had an owners manual this would be a lot easier... :wink:
