1. Wiper would occasionally turn on by itself or not turn off after being
turned on. This was only happening during the one rainy day I had it out.
I have not been able to reproduce the problem in my garage. I took the
switch apart and cleaned the internals with Deoxit. I also cleaned all of
the connections. I then dropped the wiper motor and opened up the
gearbox and found some grease on the stop switch contact. I cleaned all of
that up and put it back together. D###it, I got the stop switch thing 180
degrees out of position and the wipers are trying to part on the wrong
side. Took it apart again and fixed that.
So now I'll wait and see if the problem ever comes back. I hate
intermittent problems.
While I was troubleshooting the wiper issue I thought I would check into
some other issues I was having under the dash. I don't fit under the dash
very well so I took out the radio, the seats and the shifter. My dash
lights weren't working, so I dug around until I found a wire disconnected.
I also found that one of the lights wasn't even plugged into the back of a
gauge. Then I noticed that I must have ripped out a wire for the cigar
lighter when I was taking out the radio. Fixed that. One thing after
another.
2. Heater core leak. I live near a small town and had to search around to
find somebody that works on radiators. After trying a couple of places I
was directed to an old guy about 30 miles away that still does this kind of
work. He's an interesting old guy that likes to talk. I must have been
there an hour when I was dropping off the core. I told him I could buy a
new one for about $200 and he started talking about how my old one was
constructed and how he didn't think anybody could build something like
today for only $200. Anyway, he just called and told me to come pick it
up.
Have Fun,
Joe Brown
