Does the black knob not turn, or is it that the wipers don't actuate when it is turned?

 

[misfitregal]

no the black knob turns it just doesnt do anything the silver knob will operate the wipers manually though

Sounds like some of the wiring might be different.

Did you use a tool or a metal tube/hose to slide the wires into the column? If they're just stuffed in the column or tugged from the other end, you will have issues with crimped wires.

I don't know what causes it or how to fix it. But my old Bonneville had the same problem. And it was still the original column. I tried everything I could think of but nothing worked. I always had to hold the washer button to get the wipers to work. It really sucked going down the highway on long trips at night. :?

i'am confused, is your switch in the column or dash? if your car has a delay wiper and your column is none delay it will do what your complaining about,same thing visa versa...jesse
