Wiper Circuit
Can someone please illustrate (in print or drawings) how the windshield wiper circuit is suppose to work? I can't find in my AIM. My wipers work when I push the button in but when I move the switch to position "on" I get nothing. I think I have a bad connection at the motor (yellow wire) but am not sure how the vacuum system plays into this.
I am thinking about migrating to a wiper system from something else that is all electric. Any suggestions on vehicles to remove the wiper motor, etc from and what I should be sure to change out besides the wiper motor?
Thanks,
Dan

Constant power at motor (yellow wire)
Wiper is activated by grounding @ LT Blue
Hi/Low is determined if Blk/Wht goes to ground (if grounded then high, if not then low)
pushing the switch grounds the mist pump (dk. Blue) and the windshield wipers (Lt. Blue). So your circuit is good. must be a bad switch.

I have a couple of wiper speeds on my 68, but no intermittent.
I have intermittent on my 80.

pic of the install:
68's just have to be a little different, don't they?
funny thing about this circuit is because of the park function built into the wiper motor it's (wipe-wipe-pause-wipe-wipe-pause...)
Dantana, did you find the problem? 7T1vette's suggestion of a reversed connection at the switch made sense.
