  View original topic: Electrical problem with blinkers and wipers on my 66 Bug

I have a 66 bug that is having electrical problems with the blinkers and wipers. The blinkers will flash a few times and then stop. The wipers used to work intermitantly but quit all together. I do not know if this is all part of the same trouble, but when driving at night with my headlights on and I turn the blinkers on, the car spits and sputters. I have new generator brushes in and also a new voltage regulator. Any help would be great, Thanks!!

check the wires to see if you are getting good continuity. make sure the connections are clean and that you have the correct voltage. make sure your grounds are good...

The flash-a-few-times-then-die blinker syndrome means you need a new relay. It's shot.

Define 'intermittent' for the wipers. Did they make a pass and stop? Change speed? Make three passes and stop straight up?

at first they would make a pass then stop. Then they needed help from me to go, then they stopped completely.
