wipers not working (and I searched)

[myamoto1]

I got through about page 7 of the search results w/o finding anyone w/ a similar problem. my wipers don't work when moving the stalk up or down, but will "swipe" when you pull back on the stalk.

I took a look at the switch when I had everything pulled apart to fix the high-beam switch and cleaned the wiper switch the best I could w/ no change. I'm (incorrectly?) assuming it's not the relay, since the wipers will work when I pull back on the stalk.

Most of the fixes I read about in my search, that sounded like they might be relevant were on pre-76 cars, which all have a different switch. Other than replacing the switch, what next steps do you suggest?

TIA

from what i've found, you can tweak the contacts inside the wiper switch. hope this helps.

krd - I didn't see any contacts that were easily accessable when I had the switch pulled out. Most of the "tweaking" I saw was on the pre-76 wipers. Does anyone have a pic of what I should be looking for? I'll definitely take a closer look tonight.
