Default Wiper issue!!!

Fellow C3'ers,
Well this senior senior needs a little help!!
Long story short...........I have rarely driven my 78SA in the rain but today was the 1st time it caught me in a very long time
Wipers and motor works ok and is a little fast in every switch position and when I turn it off the right side blade does not park!!
So B 4 I get into it I'd like to know what is involved in replacing the dash board switch??
Does it involve dismantling part of or a section of the dash??
TIA
JJ78

I think you can remove the wiper switch by removing the Speedo/Tach assembly.

Resurrecting an older thread here based on a search I did....

Does anyone have any advice about removing the wiper switch on a '78 please? I'm guessing that I can reach it by removing the speedo/tach cluster, but that's as much as I know!

Thanks.

Thanks!

But.... Good Lord, the switch is complex inside! 😱 No wonder they become a bit temperamental! I've yet to fully read your entire post, I think I'll need a stiff drink standing by before I do.😄 Thanks again.👍
