I am starting my underdash wiring on my 78 restomod. Custom wiring in the entire car thanks To Ron Francis and I am putting in a new oem wiper switch but don’t want to reuse the old wires. Does anyone make a replacement pigtail for the connector on the switch (non pulse).? Or a source to replace the circuit board connectors themselves and install into the oem plastic plug. And while I am in there is there a relay in the circuit. Can.t see one in my circuit diagram but want to make sure. Or determine if I should have one since I have done that on most of themother aux circuits like this. Not sure. Thanks.

The 77 wiper switch connector housing is different on the 77 but the circuit is the same non-pulse.
There is a number under the switch that looks like it starts with 2004---- and then unclear.
This is the harness side connector housing for the 78 switch.
If someone has a clearer copy of that number please post it...
Here is the switch on the line diagram, you can see what looks like to me 2004-----

Duke,thanks for the resource for the electrical wires. Richard that is a good work around but i already am replacing the switch in the dash. That was one item I didn’t want to change. And BMO I read the thread but the only issue I have ( or want to be proactive about) is the 40 yrs or so of corrosion on the contacts is the plug itself. That’s why I was asking for a replacement pigtail that would match right up to the oem switch. I suppose once I figure how to get the contacts out of the plug I can just clean them up. I will then make the proper splices and put new wires to the motor. Thanks for the input all.
Is there something wrong with the stock wiring? Those dash wires are well protected and usually in good shape...unless there was a fire or car was in a salt-water flood.
Actually it's not in that bad a shape, Just some corrosion on the terminals from the old switch that I am replacing. All the other wiring in the car is new and I find myself obsessing over little thinkgs that in reality, I most likely won't be driving the car in the rain, so who needs the wipers to work!!! But in tearing out all the old wiring, I came across so many burned or melted wires and connected that I just started over from scratch, with a new custom harness. First order of businmess was putting the fuse box in the gloove compartment so these old bones don't have to lay on the floor upside down. I have a call out to http://www.delmarwire.com. They have just about any type of pigtail you can think of, so I will see what they say. Thx.
I just found what I need. They are called Pack Con connectors. and what it looks like. The only downside is I don't have to buy a new tool to ass3emble them. I already have one...

You have to be careful, there are PAC-CON 1, PAC-CON 2 etc.
If your going by your photo the crimp connector looks longer then a PAC-CON 1 terminal.
More like a Blade style fuse terminal.
Scroll down the page a little...
Here are a few different PAC-CON 1 terminals https://www.mouser.com/Aptiv/Connect...z0yy6bZ1z0x9rq
Your on the right track anyways...

thank you Joe. I will double check to get the correct one, but I have never had a reason to look at these things before. Learn something new every day. Or maybe I just FORGET somethign new every day. Anyway I am on the right track. thanks.
