Locdoc, I got mine going this morning, albeit temporarily. (Waiting on a reliable new switch). Mine was doing exactly as MAV's was after my dash pad change out . It turned out to be a combination of two things. RUST in the fuse holder. I could not see it but when I removed the fuse, it was there nonetheless. My switch was not making good contact either so I cleaned it and tested it. I could not make the wipers work with a home rig of an aftermarket toggle or push/pull off /on switch either. It must take a HARD ground to operate them. One thing about electricity for sure is, you have to have an uninterrupted path to ground no matter whether it is a negative system like wipers or a positive ground like a starter. Once I wrapped my head around the way they work, the rest was simple. Thanks for such an informative thread.
