Hi Everyone,

I tried looking through the forum but cannot find my specific issue.

I bought a new motor and new switch. The old one didn't work.

I got it installed, wiring is good. It gets power to the switch as well. But when I put it on low or hi it doesn't do anything.

I am lost, is there a special grounding cable for the switch or is it the nut that holds the switch in place the grounding part?

Any help is greatly appreciated. This is the last part till I can put the dash back in.

I found out that it was the ground.
The dash was not on the car therefor not grounded. Works now.

It cost him a wiper motor and a switch. This is why we don't just throw parts at a problem.

Sorry - I was under the assumption that he needed that regardless.
