Windshield Wiper wont stop

[sandiego]

1987 911: Wiper wont stop (unless I pull the fuse,). Should I suspect the wiper assembly or column switch first?

make sure your variable (potentiometer) is nt turned on?

There is a small knob next to the tach with a little wiper on it. Make sure that is spun to the off position. Probably the same as mentioned above, but in case like me you didn't know what that was, now you know where to find it.

That was it. Thanks.
I love this forum!

Thx again for the tip on my problem. As for the song, well, to each his own. Have a good week.

this 1st 911 i looked at and drove was a roach. i arrived at the location in a city vehicle while working and much to my surprise he just threw me a key and said to go drive it. i guess he knew id return for my employer's vehicle. i went for a 10 minute drive and in doing so tried the wipers out and could not get them to shut off. i was so embarrassed i did not even mention it when i returned the car.

only later on the car i ultimately got did i find the dial adjuster deal i tried to turn to get them to turn off would also activate the wipers independently of the column lever.

The only time i might use this function is at the drive in when it rains.
