Re: IML: More '60 wipers



Paul has right , as always :)

I also noticed the error in the FSM, as far as I can remember the purple wire is not shown correctly in the wiringdiagram.

I have had exactly the same problem with my wipers, they changed direction and keep on going after switching the wipers off. In my case the wiperswitch was at fault, after replacing the wiperswitch for another one the problem was solved!

I don't know if you have a spare switch but if so it might be worth the trouble to swap switches .

good luck,

Rob

Turning the switch off makes the motor go in the opposite direction, which then trips a switch built into the mechanism under the dash, that turns them off once they meet the windshield.

When you turn off the switch, do they just stop dead, or do they change direction and keep on going? If they don't change direction, the switch is at fault. If they change direction, but don't turn off, the culprit is likely in the motor turn off switch.

Also, I believe that there is an error in the shop manual wiring diagram concerning the wires that connect to the switch. I recall that either a pink or purple wire isn't showing correctly. You may discover that is the problem unless you marked everything before you took it apart.

John is right, the Coordinated Washer can also be causing trouble, but any trouble I have had with it has been different than what you have explained so far.

Thanks for the replies. Maybe with the long weekend I'll get brave and tackle
this again.

I have two wiper switches and I've disassembled each, cleaned, and relubed each one (just a dab of silicone). Both switches look to be in excellent condition and it's hard to believe both would be malfunctioning the same way. I kept
checking the wiring connections, I'm sure they are right but you never
know....I'll check that again. It sounds like it might be in the motor though (ugh). I didn't look that closely at the wiper assembly portion in the service
manual, that will be my next study assignment.
