88 cutlass supreme classic. Swapped in 010 385ci sbc. After hooking up c100 I noticed there's no power at the wiper motor. Nothing coming from the bulkhead. Power at fuse box on both sides of the fuse and the white wire going into the switch. I'm completely lost. If the switch is still good can I just run a 12v switched to the motor?
Wiper motor not getting power?!?!

If you have power going in on the white wire, then in HI you should have power to the Gray and Purple wires. Dk green gets powered in "OFF" and I think in LO you should have power going to the Pink wire.
I THINK. Someone with electrical skills better check me on that...

So if there's no power going through any of the wires besides the white would it be safe to say the switch is bad? Car sat for 8 years finished and I just did first start up a week ago. So now I'm chasing a few electrical issues
It could be, but before ruling anything out, you may want to try applying 12V to the motor, and seeing what that does because if that's the issue then time will be wasted, chasing switches.
It's possible the switch may be bad. Is it connected on the steery column? If anyone ever fugged around with those wires, it's possible you may have some lost connection(s) there.
Again, I'm not a wire biter, so my electrical knowledge is limited to Ohm's law and knowing a little bit of how to read the GM schematics.

Its been sitting undisturbed since I built it. I pulled the motor and bench tested it. Powered right up. Like I said earlier.. I have power everywhere needed except coming out of any colored wire from the switch or the bulkhead at the firewall. I'm stumped lol
