69 fJ40-switch terminals (1 Viewer)

Please help me identify these switch terminals.

Take your multimeter, and set it to test continuity (easiest if it beeps), or a low resistance range.
Then test across the terminals with the switch in different positions.
You'll see either an open circuit, or a closed low resistance (and maybe a beep).
If you don't have a meter then it's worth the investment - it won't be the last time you need it!

Have you tried looking at a wiring diagram?

Have you tried looking at a wiring diagram?

Yes, but I am am rewiring with new kwik wiring harness. Also, I do not have the original connectors for the lighting and windshield wipers, so the color coded wiring diagram doesn't help me. Much Thanks. Jim

This will get me there. Do you know where I can get the 6 prong connectors (new maybe). I thjnk I have the connector that goes into the switch. It also has the colored wires coming out of it. Thanks. I appreciate your help here.

Do you know anymore about the flashers and turn signals? Much thanks for your help thus far. Jim

I got the wipers hook up and only work on slow speed. The blue w/black wire when hooked up, blows the fuse. I have checked continuity on blue w/black wire and I have good continuity from connection on switch to where it it attached to the wiper motor. Any comments?
Also, cannot get the interior dome light to work. I have red/w blue wires (2) coming out of interior light. My switch just has 2 screw terminals. Is one hot, and one not? Does it make a difference on which terminal is hot? I figured power to dome light is one screw terminal and wire to dome light is the other screw terminal. I have checked continuity and have continuity from switch to connector at dome light. Does dome light have to be grounded? Much Thanks. Jim

Firstly check that you have the right fuse value.
The wipers take a lot of current, so if they are heavily loaded due to dirt and corrosion, or the motor is dirty inside then that can cause it to blow.

Try lifting the wipers to unload the motor a bit and grease the couplings. Running it in slow speed might also free it up.

You might need to rebuild the motor.

One side of the light is +12v, the other is ground. Maybe a photo will help?

Thanks. On the dome light pull switch, is one lead ground, and the other lead is power to the switch? Much Thanks. Jim
