Default 1975 Windshield wiper
I have a 1975 corvette which was having an issue with the wiper motor. Sometimes it would work sporadically and it only worked on one speed. I bought a brand new motor and installed it properly. Now when I turn on the switch, nothing happens at all. wipers will not turn on. I checked the heater and it works properly so I have eliminated the possibility that it is a faulty relay. Everything else seems to be in tack, but i am having no luck. Any ideas or suggestions?

Check that the fuse is good.
The wiper motor and the switch must be grounded.

The plastic connector to the switch can be installed wrong. Compare the picture of the wire color locations from The Wilcox photo.
