Re: IML: More '60 wipers

[randalpark@xxxxxxx]

Turning the switch off makes the motor go in the opposite direction, 
which then trips a switch built into the mechanism under the dash, that 
turns them off once they meet the windshield.

When you turn off the switch, do they just stop dead, or do they change 
direction and keep on going? If they don't change direction, the switch 
is at fault. If they change direction, but don't turn off, the culprit 
is likely in the motor turn off switch.

Also, I believe that there is an error in the shop manual wiring 
diagram concerning the wires that connect to the switch. I recall that 
either a pink or purple wire isn't showing correctly. You may discover 
that is the problem unless you marked everything before you took it 
apart.

John is right, the Coordinated Washer can also be causing trouble, but 
any trouble I have had with it has been different than what you have 
explained so far.

Thanks for the replies.  Maybe with the long weekend I'll get brave and 
tackle
this again.

I have two wiper switches and I've disassembled each, cleaned, and 
relubed each
one (just a dab of silicone).  Both switches look to be in excellent 
condition
and it's hard to believe both would be malfunctioning the same way.  I 
kept
checking the wiring connections, I'm sure they are right but you never
know....I'll check that again.  It sounds like it might be in the motor 
though
(ugh).  I didn't look that closely at the wiper assembly portion in the 
service
manual, that will be my next study assignment.
