I used everything I could get from MAD. I am still working out some small kinks but I cannot get my wipers to work. There is power (12v) to them and when I turn the switch to the off position and hold in the button on the motor the wipers will operate. When I release the button they go to park. New switch and rebuilt motor. Any Ideas? Thanks in advance....Jeff | | |

The dash switch supplies ground to the wiper motor to complete the circuit. I think the button you are pressing on the motor is a overload relay. This also indicates something is wired wrong or jamming. I have enclosed a link to a diagram that might help out. Good luck. http://chevy.tocmp.com/1959_60shop/59sms1411.htm Stuart | | |

The link I posted is for a '59 car! From what Bill indicates, this doesn't apply to the truck. He has Task Force rigs so my bet is with him.
There are some great wiring diagrams online, but sadly, many years are missing. It seems those are the years that get the most questions.
