-69 wiper door again.

I have a small problem with the wipers. When you turn wiper on you can hear clik sound but nothing happens.Door won't open.

When you pull switch below column, door will open and wipers work.Hoses are propably ok...

Any suggestions where problem might be(with the door).

....thanks and greetings from Finland!

Check the solenoid on the rear of the tach.

YES...that solenoid can be replaced. This is what it looks like even though it is out of stock.

If it is the tach solenoid you could replace it or just take it apart and clean it up. That may or may not be the issue with the solenoid but it may save you a little money and it's easy to do. Just remember to ohm out the coil as if this is bad you'll need a new one.
