Wipers wont work

Suddenly my wipers wont work. Admitedly it was after removing and reinstalling all the vacume lines and wiring in the area to fit a magneto. The flap is coming up but that is all.

Any clear vacume diagrams out there for a 1970 model?

Sounds simple but also check the fuse.

my wipers went out on my 79. The electrical connection was loose at the motor.

First rule of troubleshooting: Check all the simple stuff first, i.e., electrical connections and fuses. Second rule of troubleshooting: Hit it with a sledgehammer. :smash: :jester

Re: Wipers wont work (Simmo)

I had a similar problem with my '70 this past summer and it was pretty simple. I acidently kicked the vacuum line underneath the dash (behind & above the accelerator). I just plugged it back in (and zip tied the hose to the bottom of the dash so I would'nt o this again).
