I may be in need of a column for my 65. Think the u joint in mine is gone let me know if you still have one you would part with j

Thank you all! It looks like it is indeed the headlight relay causing the issue, as that was the last thing I needed to repair as I had the headlight motor rebuilt. The original wiring to the relays was partly melted and causing the short! What a great group here! car is headed to the Bahamas in a couple weeks from the UK, looking forward to her being my retirement car...Thank you! J

Thanks for that and the link, just ordered one!

Just unplugged the connector on the motor, short is still there.. any idea what color wire is the power feed to the motor? I assume it goes through one of the connector blocks in the firewall from what I can see. I dont see an obvious short..

Thank you! Ill give that a go J

Hello, I just finished up the 2 year restoration on the car all was going great. Before we started the wipers were working fine but just after I got it back the wiper fuse would blow every now and again. Now it blows immediately even with the wiper switch turned off. If I replace the fuse and turn the key on fuse blows. If it temporarily by pass the fuse the wipers work, but the by pass wire get hot. So there is a huge load being drawn. I would think that with the switch off there would be no load, but guessing that the wipers are not "parked" and keeping the load on the motor? Any suggestions? or do I just pull the motor and send it out to be rebuilt? any idea of a source for motors or rebuilds? Thank you Jim
