wipers stop when headlamps turned on
78 coupe. Wipers shut themselves off when I turn on the headlamps. Turn headlamps off, they go back to working. They don't stop where they are, they go back to the park position.

[QUOTE=Willcox Corvette;1598018007]This could be an issue with the headlamp switch, the connector or a ground issue. Is that all that's happening? Are the gauges still working when you pull the headlamps on? Usually this indicates a ground issue and the headlamps are seeking a ground.
Willcox[ Thanks for your reply. Everything else seems to be fine, I was thinking ground myself, but have no idea where to start looking. I have heard of a ground terminal that is supposed to be up behind the dash. Just remembered the turn signal indicators on the dash don't work, but haven't since I got the car. They don't come on any time, head lights or not. Might just be bulbs, I just live with it.
