windshield wiper problem
I'm having a little problem trouble shooting where my problem with my wipers are at. I can't get them to work/or turn on. I have a new motor and the fuse is still good. I have started checking where I lose power but I don't really know where to start. Any help or guidence would be great.

I am working on the wipers of a 68 and have been trying to track down the issue and really hope I have found it! In the above pic, the last one with the resistor on it - where does the bare wire connect to? Mine was floating it looks like and I presume it should be connected.

Perpendicular-
That wire is the end of the resistor, when installed it makes contact with the case of the motor.
But you should always start a new thread, most won't look at a four year old thread that is bumped. But lots will look for a new thread.
