where to get replacement wiper switch?
Where can I get a switch that works and (hopefully) wires directly into the original 3-wire plug?
I have the original switch, but it is in pieces and doesn't work or stay together when I try assembling it. I did confirm the wipers work (on high speed at least) with a simple on/off switch that I rigged, operating off the light blue wire. When grounding them, one of the other wires (dark blue, I think) causes something in the dash area to make clicking noises, and the other (black i think) does nothing. |

They pop up in the for sale section fairly often, I have one if you need one.

I think you're looking for No. 6 at the top of the page.

Re: where to get replacement wiper switch?
Kind of a jerk comment.
I DID walk into an auto parts store. Not sure if you've ever bought a part for your GMC or Chevy, but if you have you would realize that they don't often have original looking reproduction parts, nor do they often fit existing harnesses. |

LMC, classic parts etc. all carry them. The '67 is different if I remember correctly.

For future reference, are LMC bad for parts? I heard negative things, but I think it was all about body part / trim parts. |

Re: where to get replacement wiper switch?
Much of what they carry is going to be the same stuff you get from other vendors. Some of their prices seem very good but from what I've seen when I made an online order is was a straight 10% charge for shipping. So I never went through with an order. I've used Classic Parts and Brothers as well as eBay for parts.
