Hi!
Windshield Wiper 1971.
When I remove the wiper cover, I found out that the windshield wiper arm control valve was defect.
And the tubes, 3 pc. was removed.
Can somebody tell me where these 3 tubes shall be connected? (small sketch?)
I think what you are talking about is the Wiper Valve. It mounts up by one of the wiper blades under the wiper door. This valve esures the vacuum system that the wipers are in the park postion before the door closes. Mine was shot and i had to replace it. The hoses going to the valve and the valve itself were all marked and color coded so all you had to do was match them up. There was a white stripe, red stripe and green strip hoses that hooked to the valve. I would have to take a look this weekend to see which one went where.
You really only need to worry about two of the hoses. The top vacuum port that is closest to the rubber plunger end of the valve (where the wiper contacts) is just a vent hose. It gets the hose that just vents to the outside to release vacuum. Not sure about the other two.
Hopefully this was somewhat helpful.
