Silly question but what it the wiper switch pattern.
Is all the way in the up position off or fully on?
Do activate the washer fluid do you push or pull?
Installing a new one tonight and nothing seems "normal".
1974 Super
Thanks |

Pull=squirt

It Doesn't pull. There is no give at all. There didn't seem to be a wrong way to install it...hmm I'm sure it's possible though.
The turn signal and wiper switch are brand new and I just installed them tonight.
The turn signal snapped as soon as I clicked on the brights.
I'm considering sending them both back and trying again. |

You trying the air pressure, spare tire wash squirt as original?

| I went through a couple different brand replacement switches and both were garbage. Finally bought a used German switch, which is what I should have done in the first place. |

Humm..never seen a bug with headlight washers. They must be good because after the first time you never have to worry about caked-on dirt or ice.

It was an option in some European markets
