Bad pump?

Posted by: | Comments Comments Off
My front windshield washer has recently stopped working. Bad pump, blown fuse...? When I push in on the turn signal switch to activate the washer (1997 Grand Caravan), I don't even hear the little motor, and nothing happens.

Wiper switch help needed

Posted by: | Comments Comments Off
Hi Guys!
Tom here from western Washington state and I'm a Studebaker guy with a question about a substitute wiper switch for a project '63 Avanti I'm working on.

My old (and broken) factory switch has five spade terminals marked: A,P,B, F1 and F2. My motor has a black, blue, red and yellow set of wires that connect, according to my shop manual's schematic, and Prestolite:

Blue to P
Black to A
Yellow to F2
Red to F1

Okay... I bought a Mopar switch on Ebay, thinking it would be a suitable substitute for the junk switch from the Avanti. It has the numbers 2864415 and under that; 23199 (if that helps). Also with five terminals, but they're marked: A,B,H, P1 and P2.
Can anyone tell me on which terminal I should plant the wires?
Thanks so much!

P.S. I had a '63 Valiant with the 225 and absolutely loved it, years ago.

Does anyone have a schematic/drawing for a head light switch? I've got everything nailed down but the B1 terminal but I would like to make sure what I have already is correct.
