81 wiper problem
I just bought my first vette, a '81 and I am a newbie to this forum. My problem is the wipers work sometimes and sometimes not. When the wipers are not working and I move the switch to pulse or the other speeds I hear a little buzz sound coming from the rear area behind the seats. I also hear the buzz when I move the wiper switch all the way down past the off position. I can't tell you if the buzz is there when they are working, if I get them to work again I will check. All the other power items work fine. Any ideas?
Thank you for the help!

Get the jumper Big2Bird suggested. If the wipers work fine then the problem is the wiper controller or maybe the wiper switch ground. Or take the wiper controller out and test it in another 80-82. Once you know that the wiper controller is bad we can see if we can get it fixed.

The bypass comes with instructions. The switch ground should be a black wire coming off the switch.
