Wiper motor problem
hi all
yesterday I got caught out in some rain - figures since it was the cars first day out on the road in years and I just finished cleaning and painting the entire frame and underside........
Anyway, wipers were working just fine in all modes - slow, fast, and intermittent operation. Than I noticed the intermittent operation stopped working, they would just operate in "slow speed" mode although the switch was in the intermittent position and turning it to adjust the time for intermittent operation didn't make a difference.
Than out of the blue they stopped working altogether.
When I got home I checked the fuse under the dash and it was fine. I tested the plug that plugs into the wiper motor under the hood ( a 3-wire plug) and couldn't read any power at all.
Do you think this sounds like the switch or something else?
Are W/S wiper switch failures comoon on late model C3's?
This is in a '78
Thanks for any help or suggestions
