I own an 85 Dodge truck and I've had the same problem. It is a short somewhere in the electrical system. I have had several short circuits in mine. One was a wire shorting out on my power door lock relay. One short created a burned out fusable link. I have also had to replace the ignition module several times. I eventually bought a brand new wiring harness and replaced every circuit. There are several good ones on the market, I bought mine from hot rod wires.

Your 1998 VW Cabrio radio ac headlights windshield wipers just stopped working Anyone know why?

I just had this same problem with my 1998 VW Jetta. My parking brake light came on one day, but only half illuminated. Shortly after my windshield wipers and headlights stopped working. My radio works but the fans don't work either. I just found a thread which seems to point the problem at the ignition switch: http://car.justanswer.com/volkswagen/6uht-1998-volkswagen-jetta-headlights


Can you use a toggle switch to turn your windshield wipers on and off?

Yes you can. I did it to my 91 s10 however you wont have control over your wiper speed since its only a two position switch on/off. I have a 3 position switch on/off/on one for slow and one for high however I have not tried this out yet.

Why won't intermittent wiper control wo rk on your 93 jeep grand Cherokee?

in the kick panel on the drivers side forward of the door there is a control box velcroed to the inside. this is the intermittent wiper control box if your wipers dont park or they wont spray windshield fluid this box is more likely the cause. a quick way to test this is to disconnect the box on both ends. then connect the two plugs together. your wipers will work in the low and high position only but they will park when shut off, also the windshield waasher fluid should spray again too. what you need to do is replace that control box, or if you think you can fix it open it up and look for the burnt solder strip on the board. I fixed mine three times this winter alone and all i used was stranded wire copper wire pieces looped around the broken solder strips


What to check now front wipers only one speed no delay all components replaced 1990 Jeep Cherokee?

Having the same problems except my wipers won't park. My Jeep mechanic told me I needed to replace my wiper motor - he pulled the wiper delay module and bypassed it to prove it wasn't anything to do with the module. Have you solved your problem yet? I'll let you know if I'm successful after replacing the motor. On my '90 Cherokee, the wipers only had one speed, would not park. I had the motor and delay module replaced - still did not work. I then had the linkage replaced with a rebuild - works perfect now! I'd check the linkage.
