rebuilt wiper switch...still sparking
« on: July 28, 2014 - 04:49:14 PM »
got my 3 speed wiper switch rebuilt from someone on the forum.my original wiper switch was sparking internally when i turned the car on it didnt matter if switch was on or off. my wiper motor looks shots . one wire is off just out in the wind and the other just look like crap. i believe if i get a new motor i could solve the whole problem but i want your opinions first. The wiper works when i turn it on but its one speed no matter what switch setting. i see on advanced auto parts and autozone they have them online but when i go to order them it says they dont have any in inventory AT ALL.....i guess the ones were discontinued? if anyone knows where i can just buy a new one send me the link. i know i can get it rebuilt but id rather just get a new one and be done with it since the price on those sites was about $80 for a new one.

Isn`t the crappy motor toasing your newly rebuilt switch now?   
I`d have a good rebuild over some china switch any day   :2cents:

I am having a simular issue.
Have you fixed your problem yet?
I did replace my switch however the problem is still there.
I got the switch on e-bay as a rebuilt unit.

Just sorted out my issue. I was the problem not the switch.
Try running a jump wire to earth the switch body to a good earth on the body somewhere and try the switch.
If it works it's an earth issue.
