hello out there--i have a 55 bird (12volt since '71) and put in a electric wiper kit in 2002---all fine till a month ago--it shorted out a few wires for my amp gauge behind my add-on air cond. unit--the only way to really 'get to it' was to pull the dash out and in doing this i slipped and sorta fell on the wires going to the electric wiper switch and pulled them all off the switch--i went to my data sheet on this and i see that the vender never gave a diagram of which wire goes where on the switch..switch has 7 contacts but only 5 wires go on it--naturally i called the bird shop that i bought the unit from and they could NOT help me as we now know the switch was changed from 7 contacts to 4 contacts sometime in the last 10 years...so does anyone out there in the forum have a OLD STYLE electric wiper conversion kit installed in there bird that has a wiper dash switch with 7 contacts on it..i would be eternally greatfull if you could send me a diagram or something so i can get this working again...i am going to TRY to download a terrible photo i took of back of the switch..(very dark-it was the best my 10 year old digital camera would take ..(sorry)...ed mlynek

Found The Page With The Switch Wires Location

all right--everybody ca n now stop trying to find the correct wire diagram for my wiper switch---i was going thru all my 3 ring binder 'books' on all the mods i did on my bird (whew! 8 big 3 INCH THICK BOOKS!) AND LOW AND BEHOLD I found a SECOND file on the electric wiper kit i bought so long ago...and this 5 page file HAD the print out of what wire went where on the switch.....(lord, i'm saved!) ...so i ran out to my car and put the wires on correctly and now it works fine....so, thanks to everyone who tried to help me......got to go...everyone take care......bye....ed mlynek
