79 wiper problem
I am working with a 79 with pulse wipers. According to the GM shop manual there is a Brown wire w/ white tracer. The manual shows it comes out of the upper right corner of the fuse box. This wire is supposed to have a 25 amp INLINE fuse in addition to the 25 amp fuse located in the fuse box. I can not locate this wire... am I looking for a wire that does not excist?
Went for a ride today and got caught in the rain and had no wipers. The 25 amp fuse in the box is good. The motor is only 3 months old. Before I replace the control switch does anyone have a idea????

Yor car must be different than a 79. I dont have anything in the jack box. The pulse controler is under the console on mine. Now how do I trouble shoot to find out if that is the problem.
Anyone, how about the inline fuse??????

Both of my78 PC have this wire and inline fuse,I have had the dash out of both of them. I have a wire harness out of a 79 and it has this also. When I first worked on the 78 I thought that the inline fuse was a add on for something but I traced it to the wiper delay box.
