Wiper wiring/switch problems

[Roncal1]

I am having a problem with my wiper switch(toggle type) 6 prong Carling #9839
There are 3 single wires that were removed from switch a month ago
I tested the wires with a test lite and only one is hot.It is hot with key on or off also
The only number other then manufacturer is 0 top corner in back of switch
Any help would be appreciated by this amateur
thank you

This is a shot in the dark, but here goes. ... I was trying to sort out the switch on my 63 Corvette and was somewhat baffled. Then I discovered that the switch did not control power to the wiper, it controlled grounds. Grounding one wire yielded one wiper speed and two wires the other speed. My third wire turned the washer motor on and off. .... I have no idea if your system is similar, but you might want to look into it. I would check to see if there is a wire that does not go through the switch but carries power to the wiper motor any time the ignition switch is on. I would also check the resistance between the two "dead" wires and a known ground to see if that is where one or both of them go.

Thanks Tommy got it figured out I crimped the wire connectors for a tighter fit
works great !!!!!

Great. That sounds like a much easier solution than mine.

Isn't that great when you don't have to buy parts, again. The wife sees the credit card statement and says "What was it this month?"
