Wiper troubles

Thanks Ken.

Anips - No override switch on the 73 ( that I know of )but, ALL suggestions are appreciated.

Right! 73 was the first year with the long hood, didn't need an override to change the wiper blades, one day I spent over an hr. and a half trying to figure out why my wipers didn't work with a circuit tester..."they worked last time I turned them on?" turns out that I must have been foolin around under the dash one day and hit the override by mistake,..Duuh?!

Well..........ITS FIXED!!! Works like a dream.

Ken, I won't need the wiring diagrams. Thanks.

I am a bit embarrassed to share the cause of my wiper problems; however, it could very well help someone else in the future.

Turns out I had installed the plug into the wiper switch 180 degrees out. ( In my defense, it looks like it should go this way). Well, I got to laugh. In the process of "finding the problem" I now have a completely rebuilt wiper motor and new switch. A big thanks to everyone who offered up suggestions. Ken, your detailed explaination of how the wiper works really keyed me into the problem. Thanks again. The upside to this "project" is I shouldn't have to mess with the wipers for a very long time.
