I have problems with the wiper system on the '71.
-When the ignition power is on, I cannot get the wipers to move. In the full left position, I can wiggle the knob and I hear slight movement up around the motor, but I get nothing in either the middle (slow?) or right position. -The Haynes manual says that I should pull out the knob to the first position for low and all the way out for high. Nope, the switch in the car is a rotary, three position. Which one is correct. -How do I get the switch out of the dash? I removed the dash bottom, but see no obvious access to remove the switch. TIA |

mine was rotary style too (before i switched to a late model harness) ...
removal is easy. first rotate the knob to the left, the top should unsrew! then you see a metallic (alloy i think) ring with 2 slots in it. now comes the tricky part. and i don't recall if there's still a stud sticking out once the knob is removed, but IF NOT: just use a quarter (yes, money), it'll fit perfectly into the 2 slots and unscrew the metal ring. then the whole switch just slides out the back. IF YES: you won't be able to get a quarter in there, so use a flat screw driver and carefullt pry counter clockwise. once the ring is off the whole switch just slides out the back. Andy |

I'll try to think about posting a picture of the switch tonight. You will see how to take it out of the dash.
I'm modifying mine. I'm adding a microswitch so that the middle part will activate a windshield washer pump. Marc-André |

Just grab it and twist to the left?
Sounds like one of my earliest college dating techniques. |
