Default I feel dumb for asking...

Where do the wiper controls go on my 84?

I got my car without a wiper motor and the controls were in the back hole. I can't find a spot where to mount this little wiper control or the plug to connect???

I would appreciate it if anyone can tell me the location or has a pic.

Thank you in advance,

Scott

It goes in the drivers door. Did you wonder what that hole by the arm rest was for ?

Thanks Spankyellow.

Ok, another dumb one... yes, actually I did but I thought it was where the power seat controls go since I can't find those either.

I know this really sounds strange to you guys who have owned vettes for a while but imaging jumping in the cockpit of a 777 and looking for the radio volume after being trained in a cessna... Most of my cars have been purpose built... low buck and fast in a straight line.

Power seat controls are on the side of the little box in your console, just in front of the lid

Power seat control goes in a hole in the console just in front of the glove box.

Thanks Doug! I just found out how hard it is to replace the gas pedal! As soon as my back and neck recover I am off for a test drive.

I have a LOT of work ahead (A bit more than I thought when I got the car) but I think it will be worth it in the end. The body is perfect and it drives... umm that's about it

I have an '84 too that I spent almost 2 years working on... I got her back on the road about 2 months ago and it is almost a new car. If you have any questions that are '84 specific dont hesitate to ask me, or any of the owners here
