Hi. Obviously I'm having a senior moment, but I can't figure out how the connections for the wiper motor go including the spindle box control switch.
Any help (especially with pics) would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Chris

The spindle switch would be wired in sequence with the pull switch on the dash.
This allows a person to break the circuit in two places, either by disengaging the wipers out of its drive position or on the dash.
I just use the switch on the dash, I put the wipers in position and turn the dash switch on.

Personally I don't know why they have the spindle switch, it's bloody awkward trying to disengage the wipers to it's "OFF" position while trying to grab the moving knob on the spindle switch.
I guess you could just use the tip of ones finger to disengage the switch, and then grab the knob _ still seems awkward.

Or in this wiring diagram, the spindle switch just breaks the "GROUND"
Yours is an automatic park Brian, and I found only one diagram that it applies too ?
