The wipers are not working - looking for ideas. Below is what I tried thus far: -Turn on wipers and check power at harness motor connector (red/lack) - no voltage -Unplug switch harness behind dash, and test with an old switch of unknown status (no joy - actually worse as this switch will not even operate pump, as original does). This leads me to ask if anyone has suggestions for debug, and where can I get a wiring harness diagram? |

Radio dead too? Same fuse (#6) as wiper & b/u lights. Maybe check that. If fuse good, not too sure, maybe radio short (?). If you can get it power, make sure it has a good ground to the brass ribbon. The motor is grounded via mounting bolts. I had mine off to paint it and didn't work after re-installation, even though I thought I had wire brushed the contact areas for that mounting screw pretty good. I ended up putting on a large washer to contact the ribbon and it now works. Don't notice it too much unless looking for it.
Below is a page from the 1969 wiring diagram. Hopefully you can zoom in on. If not, PM me e-mail and I can send to you. Said file was too large to attach. Good luck in troubleshooting. |

schufitz, Thanks for details. The fuse must be good then becasue the radio powers on but will not tune in any station - just static (even on Accessory). I sent email for diagram as it looks like I may be able to ohm out the switch off the pic. |

CJ - good idea, wonder if there's a way to test it first?

Solved. It was a ground problem as David suggested. I ran a small ground wire similar to him - now wipers work. Will check antenna soon. |
