hi
I put my car back together and I have a few issues I cant figure out
1. My wiper fluid motor works if i put power to the motor. and I checked the switch and power is only on one side. When i press it power doesn't switch over. So the switch is bad. Do people open these and fix or clean them or just get a repro?
2. My dome lights dont work. I dont have power in either the yellow or pink wire that goes up to dome light. Both wire are carrying ground as I tested that. So Im confused. Its a simple system. but not working. I cleaned out the door pins and tested them so they work
3. For the flashers or hazard switch. You can actually install the wiring harness behind the switch 1 of two ways and it has to be one way other wise I believe you will short out switch. Is it possible to short the switch out but putting in the harness upside down? I tried it both ways and its not working. I think its the switch. When I tested the switch i didn't get continuity through any of the prongs while i was switching the switch on and off on my bench. See attached picture. On bottom of pic I circled the back of the flasher wiring. This was its orientation when it was working. so the double green wire and double tan wire is facing up or the dash and the white and red single wires is facing down. In the wiring diagram for this car. Its shown the other way around. Dont know why. Can any send me a picture of the correct working orientation of the wiring harness behind this flasher switch please.
4. There are two wires under dash with stock female spade connectors just below the flasher switch. see this picture attached. The one Im holding is a tan or brown I guess. It has constant power. Dont know if this has anything to do witch my issues and I dont know wher it connects to. Tje other one is a yellow double wire and its factory taped to harness. Dont know if that was for an option I may not have.
Thanks
