Subject:Dead Wipers and Heater Fans
From:John Rodgers <inua@CHARTER.NET>
Date:Mon, 28 Feb 2011 16:31:27 -0600

When I was in the Navy, and then later in Aircraft Maintenance -
electrical problems were always jokingly attributed to the mysterious
"intermittent short to ground!" Well, it's here again!!

Started to rain, hit the wipers - nothing. Checked the heater fans -
front and rear. Nothing. Jiggles ignition switch, still nothing. Cycled
the wiper switch several times, nothing. Got home, started up the uphill
drive way, wipers started. Checked the heater fans - both work. So it's
not fuses.

I haven't started looking yet, nor looked up the circuits in the Bentley
- but any ideas where to start? I have a new ignition switch to install.
Is this the time? BTW, I'm about to swap out for the programmable wiper
relay.

Thanks,

John
