Okay yesterday I took the Pacer out and it started to sprinkle so I headed for home.  On the way home I turned on the wipers and got one swoosh across the windshield then they stopped.  The passenger side wiper didn't even make it below the hood before they stopped.  Can anyone please give me an idea where I should start troubleshooting the wipers, thanks, you guys and gals are great Big%20smile

Sorry Mark. I know the obvious won't do ya much good , I have the same problem on the '78,but I'd check the motor  1st because it's more easily accessible. With the ignition and wiper switch on, I 'll check for fire at the incoming connections first and that may shed some light on  wether the switch is functioning.If fire is present at the motor, the motor would be suspect. Haven't got into it yet on mine, but I'll post if I get to it first. Good luck  Mark.

Pull that little circuit board out at the bottom of the fuse panel and replace it with a 20amp fuse and see if that changes anything. If so, the delay module went out. The fuse for the delay is an inline fuse on one of the wires from the circuit board.

Kick ass Mike ! OOPS, please forgive my  over exuberance but you know how hard it is to see the fuse box, especially for a guy my age. So I don't go there much. Thank you for sharing bro. that education will save me some time. Great picture too. ......How do you hold your camera so still ? Tripod ?

Just got a little Kodak. Stick it up there blindly and snap away, maybe taking 5 pics before I get a good one. Most of the pics I take I don't even look at the display, I just shoot and then edit the pic to look good. It actually takes better pics than I want sometimes, showing every little blemish that ya don't normally see. Not good for ebay! After doing the oil pan gaskets and taking some pics on the 78SA I had to go out and do a little frame paint touchup!
