 |
|
I recently acquired a 1985 Vanagon Westy. I realized today the windshield wipers and pump aren't working. I opened removed the steering wheel and saw some male connectors and was wondering if I'm missing some wiper-critical connector.
Blower fan/turn signal/horn all work.
Here are both sides of the column stalk:

pull down the fuse panel, and look up in there.
you should be able to see the connecter if it's up there.
it looks like someones been up to no good in there, judging by the black tape
pull out the coil of green and ...... color wires, the good books says you are looking for.
green
gray/black
green/yellow
white
yellow/black
yellow
intermitant wires are
green/red
brown/black
page 97.66 of the good book

Yep. It was all up in there. Thanks, Rubbachicken, for referencing the colors. It was a big help.
And now to figure out what these three mystery switches under the dash are............
