Newbie with wiper problem!

[boB E]

Hey Guys!
I have a 78 Vette. (just bought) and I can't get the wipers to shut off. Any fixes or help appreciated.---boB E.

bob you might want to pick up a haynes repair manual for the 68-82 c3. they have fairly comprehensive wiring diagrams to help trace the problem to the source.

Welcome Bob. Glad to see another member from your area.
You will be hearing from a guy names Greg very shortly. Also in Owen Sound. He is also a C3 driver and is very knowledgeable on these cars. I sure he will be able to help you out.

Welcome Bob. I'm Greg and I have a '75 as Brian mentioned. Another C3 owner right her in Owen Sound; that's cool. PM me your location and maybe we can get together.

Pretty sure Greg will point you to the wiring harnesses at the wiper motor that can corrode causing poor contact and a non shut off and park situation.

I've read of your problem b4 and it probably means cleaning up those contacts.
