68 Windshield Wiper Problems
Guys,
I'm finishing up on a complete restoration on a 68. I hooked up the wiper motor and console switch. When I tested it nothing happened. not a click or anything. It is a rebuilt wiper motor, new harness. I installed a new under dash switch. The fuse is good. Just looking for ideas to troubleshoot. Any help is appreciated.

There is a ton of info on my repair site about the 68 wiper motor and issues associated with them. http://repairs.willcoxcorvette.com/
You just enter your year and search "Wiper"
Common issues include: Missing ground from the motor case, missing ground from the over-ride switch mounting bracket, defective motor... Are you sure there isn't any noise?
Follow the wire testing on the very last page of the publication below.... Post back.
This will give you a start..
