Em,
I expect your switch is three position, "Off/Park", "Low", and "High". If you use the "Low" for your "ON" then the switch goes from the static "Off/Park" to "ON", and you'll have a dead position past your "ON". If you use the "High" then you'll go from "Off/Park" to a dead spot, then to your "ON". I wouldn't want the dead spot in the middle, but it'll work either way.

Roger, I ordered this switch from Speedway today Universal Windshield Wiper Switch for Single Motor - Speedway Motors, America's Oldest Speed Shop since none of the Parts Houses in Yuppieville, Texas had a Universal Wiper Switch. If you'll look at the PDF it appears that I can do exactly what you have mentioned and just use L for my run wire. Thanks for the info.

Well, I got my switch from Speedway and was already to do my ?final? installation and call it "DONE" - - - hahahaha, yeah right !nodisbelief

decided to test it one more time to see where Park was so I could reinstall the wiper arms and this is what I discovered.

SEE PIC - - I put some pull-ties on the splined wiper posts that the arms slip onto and found out that when I put the pull-ties where it is supposed to park SEE RED LINE it wiped the hood AT THE BLUE LINE but when I put it to where it would wipe the windshield, it parked at the GREEN LINE.

Now, it wasn't running when I bought it and then I took it off and had my friend fix the motor, HOWEVER, when I was installing the motor the round nylon piece that has teeth on the entire edge fell out along with a brass plate that covered half the nylon wheel so I crossed my fingers and put it back like I ?thought? it belonged and it ran and parked OK but it might not have been turning in the proper direction (it's a possibility that I did something wrong but also a possibility that the Barrio Bros did) All I know to do is to take it back off and tear into it to see if anything could be changed. I don't think the motor will run but one direction will it???????????? ANYBODY got any suggestions???? Don't be cruel, OK?



I'm almost to the giving up point on doing this wiper motor project myself and I may just bite the bullet and haul it up to my Friend'$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
