Bill,
Don't assume your hazard switch is bad...for one they're hard to come
by...sure the later model repros are available, but the early switches ain't
that easy. Others have mentioned cleaning...give that a shot. Also Don
Malling mentioned getting Dan Masters book...good book...get one! Again,
available through www.6-pack.org
Uh, the instrument lights...pretty sure the rheostat goes "anticlockwise" to
brighten them...again, try cleaning the rheostat...though they are easier to
come by...try Dan Masters book...there's that name again
By all means...be careful of burning that washer pump motor up...they're not
easy to come by either.

Howdy all. Well, it's been two days, and I already have a list of
questions. Any input would be welcome and appreciated!
1. On my drive into work this morning, the windshield wipers started
turning on intermittently. I could get them to shut off by toggling the
switch down. The switch sometimes doesn't work when I push the top to go
right to the fast speed. I usually have to push the bottom to start on
the slow speed, and then push the top of the swtich to get them to go
fast. Short? Switch going bad?
2. The windshield washer pump makes noise when I hit the switch, but
doesn't spray fluid. Not a huge deal, but I presume that it simply
needs to be primed. I haven't held it on for very long out of a fear of
burning it out. How long does it take to spray?
3. The hazard switch is dead. It has a new relay, so I'm pretty sure
it's the switch. I've heard that the switches currently available
aren't exact copies. Is this the case?
4. The instrument lights don't work. The warning lights, high beam
lights and turn signal lights all work, but not the instrument
back-lights. I presume this means the rheostat switch has gone bad.
5. At speed, the ammeter switch stays exactly in the middle. At
stoplights, however, it goes to discharge very slightly if I have any of
the electricals. If I put the turn signals on at a stop light, it
bounces to the right a tiny bit every time the flasher clicks. Do I
have a problem?
Thanks so much for everyone's help! I really appreciate it!
Best,
Bill S.
