Keith,
I'm envious. My OD is due back to me any day now and I've got several
hours of work to get it back in. I'd love to be out cruising.
The wiper arm has a socket that fits over the drive stub. Within this
socket, you should see a little piece of spring steel. This forms a tab
that locks into a groove under the splines of the drive stub. I'm
betting that the tab has broken off or that the arm has not been pressed
on far enough to ensure engagement.
As for the blinkers, I think you have some wires crossed at the hazard
switch. I took a quick look in my Bentley manual and the connections are
as follows (viewed from the back of the switch):
LEFT SIDE OF SWITCH
- top left horizontal tab- Green w/ Red stripe
- middle left vertical tab- Light Green w/ K stripe (sorry, don't know
what color K is)
- lower left vertical tab- Light Green w/ Slate stripe
RIGHT SIDE OF SWITCH
- top right vertical tab- Green w/ White stripe
- middle right horizontal tab- Light Green w/ Green stripe
- lower right horizontal tab- Green
Hope all this helps.
