help w/ continuous wiper-spray action -PLEASE!
greetings,
like the post says...
tonite i put my car through some paces, just for me -hairpin turns, high revs, all things that make this a fun car...
anyway at some point, the windshield spray decides to work CONTINUOUSLY! the wipers decide to operate continuously TOO!!
i would like this to stop and further, return control back to me (i should decide when/when can't it work!).
has this problem been encountered before by other members here? where should i begin to source the probelm? commom sense tells me it is some type of electrical signal/fuse issue...
other miscellaneous info:
1. the windshield spray was not working prior to encountering this problem tonite.
2. the problem BEGINS when i hit 30mph/50 kmh. it stops when i brake and come to a stop.
3. tach doesn't work, but i notice no performance issues -the car goes when i want it to.
4. my next $1000 upgrade (i r/b-ed the exhaust) will be suspension -DO NOT DRINK LIQUIDS WHEN DRIVING THIS 18 YR OLD CAR (84 GS)!
5. toyo tires get you where you want but don't ask for more than this -no decent adhesion, spinning wheels galores! why did i buy? i KNEW suspension sucked so i figured performance tires would be wasted.
6. for all the current problems, this car remains the FUNNEST by far that i have owned to date and forseeable future!
summary: thanks for reading/responding. alot is rambling but seriously PLEASE HELP! i can stand looking like an idiot, but the wiper-spray humiliation is undeserving for a car of this quality!
regards,
norman ng

but seriously, start with the switch and see if the short is there. i don't know if there's a relay in the circuit, but if there is, then that would be worth a look as well. i honestly don't know what the circuit is like, so i may just be blowing smoke out my **** ...
do you have the FSM or Haynes manual?
hopefully someone that knows something can help ... sorry.

greetings,
is it straightforward to check the switch? shop manual has a pic of steering wheel puller but haynes says it isn't always necessary...
also, what exactly would i be looking for? anything i would possibly need to repair the problem? and is a new locknut/nylon insert really necessary for re-installation of steering wheel?
thanks,
