While taking out my speedometer for repair, I inadvertently knocked the wiper control rod link off and it fell to the floor. This is the rod that connects the wiper control knob to the wiper motor. My problem is that I have no idea how to reconnect it as I did not see how it was attached before I knocked it off. I saw in a parts catalog that there were two grommets involved in the assembly and I ordered them; the original grommets were apparently gone. Can anyone give me any guidance/instructions on this? I have attached photos of the control rod link, the wiper motor, and the wiper control knob. The end of the control rod attaches to the lever at the upper left of the motor, the other end to the control knob. I have looked in the shop manual, and the factory assembly manual, but cannot find any photos or diagrams for this.
I THINK the double bend end of the rod goes on the lever on the motor, then the other end with the grommet snaps into the control lever. I can't look because my parts are out in the deep freeze storage.
Or maybe it's the other way around. You have a 50/50 chance of the first option being correct. But you'll likely find that the first way you try is wrong. Murphy's Law, Right?
