Wipers, Power Windows, Fan

Post by 1983SpiderEuropa »

Hey,
It was a long day in the driveway with good news and bad news. The bad news is that my wipers dont work and my fan won't kick in and my drivers power window doesn't work. The good news is that all three work when connected directly to a power source so it is a matter of finding the wiring problems. The power window was easy - just a broken wire. The fan I suspect is the temp sensor in the rad. There are a series of taped joints - I think a new sensor should fix that. The wipers are the most tricky. I have a red and white connector off the motor but both plugs off the car are black and not supplying any electricity. The wipers were siezed pretty bad so I think there might be a blown fuse or relay somewhere.

I checked all my connections and cleaned the contacts on the switch - the wipers are now fully functional.
