Windshield wiper /washer problem.

[Robic58]

My 80 Plymouth Arrow has developed a wiper problem, I believe it's isolated to the switch.

Does any one know of where to get a replacement switch. This is a 2 speed , ( off/park: on low: on high ) pul/push 3 position swich, with clockwise twist for squirting..

Any lead gratefully appreciated, otherwise, the little guy continues to be a real trouper!

you can search for a generic one, they are pretty similar

however. THese switches are fairly robust, you can open them up, clean them out, and they will go again for another 40 years. one issue i have had with a similar switch was there was a fine build up of worn copper causing strange issues as there was things earthing when there shouldnt

If cleaning it doesn't fix it, I have spares from a couple of parts trucks I can sell you. Let me know if you need it.

if it's dash mounted. Pull it out and pop the cover off. Use some contact cleaner and test it.

Thanks, Pennyman-
It's the dead of winter here- only get to tinker on milder days. But I'll get to you if I need that switch, and I got a feeling I'll be on here more often- My little Arrow has been a real trouper, not a problem for years until recently
