SILVER Star
1971 FJ40, with recent SBC350, running great and smooth idle.
I was cruising along the highway at around 60mph, and flipped the wiper switch.
The engine faltered, knocked, and 1 loud backfire, before I could switch the wipers off. The driver side motor on the wiper has been bad, and never worked right. The passenger side seemed to work better.
What's going on here? I have to try and find the '71 wiring diagram, but I'm not sure if the prior owner did something funky with the wiring. Or, if the wiper motors are short or grounding out something? Any ideas?
As always.. thanks.
