intermittent wipers
another update. things started to go sour again. the problem now is the wipers not working at all when turned on. For those of you who love a challenge: this happened yesterday. Engine not running and wipers in off position. I opened the front passenger door with the key. When I hit the unlock button on the passenger door, the wipers cycled one and a half times and remained in the locked up position. I have not tackled this on yet except to turn the wipers on and off several times with no success.
for those interested, I worked on 2 grounds behind the trans dipstick tube that bolted to the side of the engine and 2 grounds that looked like they came out of below the pdc area and bolted to the body near the rear of the left wheel area. I had to take out the battery and battery box etc to get at these.
Finally gave up and wired the front wipers straight off the battery. I used the bron and white wire(low speed) and black wire(gr) from the wipers. I wired a chassis ground in with the wipers ground to get them to work. Finally I ran a wire with 20amp fuse straight off the battery. rear wipers still do not work. the wires had to be run through a hole in the side above the left wheel (where most of the wires run to get them through the firewall). the front washer does work. I have to park the wipers myself.
