RATCAMINO 05-11-2004, 05:21 PM the last few days the windshield wipers have been having problems ever since i put the '83 front clip/wiring harness back on. the wipers will work on high in the off and low position and when the switch is turned to high theyll go up and down a little bit until i stop the car. i put in another wiper motor i know works (you all probably know how much fun that is) and it still does that. anyone have any advice? this car is really getting on my nerves lately... RATCAMINO 05-13-2004, 06:26 PM oh well, guess i won't drive when its raining thanks for the help 77Elky 05-13-2004, 07:13 PM sounds like mmt, man made trouble. recheck all your connectors for your wiper switch, make sure nothing is reversed, or lacking a ground for the motor. hope you can drive again in the rain soon, lol. acauth1 05-13-2004, 10:56 PM sounds like mmt, man made trouble. recheck all your connectors for your wiper switch, make sure nothing is reversed, or lacking a ground for the motor. hope you can drive again in the rain soon, lol. I concur. You will find diagnostic info here.

Also: after i installed the new wiper motor, it was intermittantly working. I took off the plastic cover and found a yellow wire loose that went to a solenoid or relay that was not plugged in. hope this helps :) | ||
