Whats everone working on?
I am working on a pesky electrical problem, which i just discovered was a bad variable wiper switch. once in a blue moon, the factory alt meter would slam towards negative and the motor would die.
once in a blue moon, my factory alt meter would slam towards negative and the motor would die. i just discovered the culprit was a bad variable speed wiper switch.
i was out for a cruise and got caught in a drizzling rain. i turned the wipers on (first time in 3 years) and all hell broke loose. the wipers got faster and faster and would not stop. after playing with the switch (moving it a fraction either way) the wipers started and stopped at all positions.
when the wipers did stop, a scarey loud electrical click was heard behind the dash. with each click, the alt meter pegged to minus and the motor would die.
got the car home and pulled the wiper switch out and its connections. all is well now. as a matter a fact, my alt meter needle is now rock steady - a first!
