Hi folks,

      Help!  Getting closer to putting the 77 on the road.  Newest puzzle is the
wiper motor. It doesn't want to quit!  Not a matter of poor parking, this is
just no parking.  Installed a new wiper/washer switch to go along with the new
wiring harness so it's unlikely that it's a faulty electrical configuration.

    The wiper motor is a 14W but it doesn't quite match the exploded view as
seen in Figure 10.18 of Haynes.  There is no Limit switch screw (#10).  The
limit switch is there and it is actuated by a cam area on the bottom of the gear
wheel.  The switch is normally open and closes while in contact with the cam.
Anybody been here before?  TIA.
