John_Mc Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Guys, I have a ‘77 Lincoln Continental with an intermittent wiper system. I’d like to replace the switch, but they are hard to locate. I’d like to rebuild my original. Anyone provide this service? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodneybeauchamp Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 If the switch can be dismantled you may be able to service it yourself. Often it is dirty or corroded contacts that just need to be cleaned with a Dremel, fine wet and dry rub or fine file. Usually it needs the plastic base unclipped from the metal case where they are crimped over by the factory. Got nothing to lose by giving it a try and everything to gain if you get it working as it should. And don’t forget to clean up the wire terminals where it attaches to the wiring harness as they can give problems too! Have done this process with a few ignition switches and light switches with great results. Just my two bobs worth Rodney 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
