Default 1972 LT-1 wiper problem

My windshield wipers do not work. I bench tested the motor & it worked. I receive power to the yellow wire on the 3 prong connector. I do not receive power to the single connector that connects to the limit switch. I do not know what to do next. Thanks for any help.

Just for kicks (and because it's easy to check)... You wouldn't happen to have the wiper override switch engaged?

Ask me how I know...

Regards,

Hi Ray,
If Stan's suggestion isn't the answer you might want to check out the windshield-wiper motor test procedure at the Willcox site.
Click on 'Parts, Restoration, Help' on the left side of the home page and then scroll down a bit to '68-72 Corvette Windshield Wiper Schematic with Test'.
I found it pretty helpful.
Good Luck!
Regards,
Alan
