"84" wiper switch & mirror problems
wiper switch is bad and can't find a replacement.
looking for a replacement or work around that will fit with a little modification.
thinking maybe one from a dash mount slid switch form a "73" GM pick up.
second problem; the plastic tabs, that hold the glass side of the out side mirror metal cross are broken. both side mirrors are flopping around.
any one know of a place that sell the mirror glass with the backing plate attached and will snap on?

The wiper on my '84 wasn't working so I got a salvaged switch to replace what I thought was the problem but it turns out the circuit board on the wiper motor was bad, not the switch (paid $50 for the switch and then another $100 for a rebuilt wiper motor with a working CB -ouch!).

thanks guys
sure the switch is bad. tested with a vo meter. when on off position, has continuity to motor and wont shut off. you have to move to top of switch and wiggle to get to shut off.
wipers stay on most of the time.
checked with switch unplugged. jumper wired plug and works fine. not to handy with no switch and a jumper wire hanging out of door
will try vette 2 vette.
thanks
