Wipers will not stop

[colinc]

Can't seem to get the wipers to stop in my 74 260z. I have the intermittent and two continous speeds but when I turn the switch to the off position they just keep going ..... pulled fuse for now. I followed the trouble shooting suggestions in the service manual (i.e. removed wiper motor and adjusted auto-stop switch) but no luck. Of course, I may not not have adjusted this switch properly. Any suggestions?? I am hoping it is not the combination switch...kind of pricey.

Appreciate all the help.

Thanks,

Colin

It more than likely is the combination switch. The only other possibility would be an errant power feed caused from burned/damaged insulation in your wiring harness. The combination switch is rebuildable, either by yourself or by someone who specializes in this. Use the search button to your advantage on this site. You will find what you need to solve your problem.

Thanks Ron,

I did find a PDF that outlines a breakdown and clean-up of the combination switch. I will give it a try.

That PDF tutorial was submitted by MikeW and deals with the light portion of the combination switch. I don't recall any information on the wiper control switch but then again I haven't looked. If you find yours is unrepairable or just too expensive to do so, give me a shout via PM. I have several used but good combination switches on hand including one for a '74.
