I have a painless harness and i need to wire up the wiper switch. I do not have a plug, there are three wires and the switch has the terminals in a L shape on the back of it. Two wire go over top of each other and the third is offset to the drivers fender. Could someone tell me which one in offset and which two are over top of each other for example LB over black and DB offset to drivers fender. Any help would be appreciated thanks as I really dont want to pull this switch out of the dash it looks to be a real pain to do.
You are in luck as I have an entire harness loose. The two side by side are BLACK far left, and DARK BLUE in the middle, and LIGHT BLUE is the offset on the right. Does that help?
this is not the same switch as my car you must have the camaro style switch however it does give me good direction. You wires are in a straingt line and my plug if I had it would be a L shape. My switch it the rocker style switch I believe yours has a slider knob if that makes sense. Just surios what year is your car. We recieved 6" of snow last night so Im going to go out to the garage and reach up behind the dash and give this order a try. worse case scenario I know which wire is offset so I may just have to flip flop the two adjacent to each other thank you much
My car is a 1968 Firebird convertible. All original. I have it all taken apart so the wiring harness I had rolled up in a ball and sitting in a bucket. The switch is in a bucket of small parts somewhere. My 1968 FSM shows the Firebird switch connector I posted, but the sheet for the Tempest shows a connector shaped more like an "L". On that one the offset terminal is black for ground. The two blue ones together are for the high and low speed, so as you said, if wrong just reverse them. EDIT: Looking at the wiring diagrams I think the wiper is what we call a 'negative switched' system. That means the wiper motor is wired hot, and the control switch grounds the circuit. So if you have the loose blue wires you can simply power the wiper motor by turning the ignition key on, and touch the loose wires to a ground one at a time. One will be slow and the other fast.
