880 custom wipers

[jchampa33]

I have a 1965 custom 880 and the wipers just stopped working. There doesn't seem to be any power at the wiper motor not sure if I tested it right there is 4 wires going to motor??

Did you check the fuse?

4 wires to the motor should be variable speed wipers, correct?

Yes It is variable speed

The procedure for checking all this is spelled out over about 6 pages in the FSM. If you don't have one, you should get one or at least download one from http://www.mymopar.com.

A quick check, the ignition switch "could" be the issue - if your stop lights, heater(fan), and so on are still operational that takes the ignition switch out of the equation.

The first thing to check is the ground. Run a wire from the motor case to a good ground.
