Hi to all.
I am working on an garage kept 1980 Cutlass Supreme that has not been driven in 25 years or so. It did not come from the factory with pulse/delay windshield wipers. The owner of this car wants this option really bad. He has located and purchased a new wiper motor assembly complete with washer pump and delay module for a 1980 Chevy Malibu with the pulse/delay option and he also found a hard to find GM wiper switch for this car as well.
This seems like a pretty straight forward swap with a few modifications required, such as the area of the dash where the switch mounts and to the switch itself elongating the mounting holes. Also the addition of the green wire to the wiper motor assembly. The problem is the wiring of the wiper switch. The wiring connector that was on the original wiper switch does not work with the new switch. No big deal here either, remove the wires from the connector and plug them on to the new switch right. Here is where the fun begins. Nowhere have I found anything indicating the exact location of the wires on the new switch. The wires are color coded but the switches do not have the terminals marked in anyway that I can see. I have searched the internet for days trying to find a correct coded pigtail connector for the switch or even a picture of one. I have also looked at every thread I can find that might pertain to this problem and I have not had any luck.
I did however come across a write up on this forum from a few years back between someone who called himself Bonnewagon and another that called his self Beach Boy Bob.
So for my question to you all is simply this. Does anyone have a parts car that has this pigtail that connects directly to the switch I have or a good pictures of it so I can tell which wires go where?
I have wiring diagrams for both switches and that does not help. I have looked all over You Tube and have learned that it is bad news if you screw up the wiring. Some of the required parts a very hard to find and expensive to replace. Thanks to all
