This also shows you how to test the dimmer switch: http://rt-eng.com/mediawiki/index.php/RT...immer_switch.3F GregGarner www.rt-eng.com Home of the mopar solid state limiter adn tach repair kit

I was rebuilding a dash for a customer, (71 Cuda) and was trying to connect a 3 speed wiper switch to the harness. It wasnt right for the harness connection. I contacted Jules the Wiperman and he told me that 70 and 71 used either a 2 speed or a variable switch. The 3 speed switch was a 72-74 item. Whats your take on this? I see you talk about testing a 70-71 3 speed wiper switch. Just want to get my facts straight for future reference. Thanks. Jeff in Ozark Mo.

Jeff, All of the 70-71 rally gauge cars I've done had the 2 speed variable. The switch you're looking for will have a red dot on the back with the number 25 on it (easiest way to identify). There is an extra spade on the back of the switch, if you look, you'll see which one isn't used, it has a barb sticking out so you know which one never had a plug on it.

I was just questioning what Greg had on his site concerning a 1970-1971 3 speed wiper switch which I dont think existed.I dont think there was a 2 speed varible either. They were either 2 speed or they were a variable.

I will change my website to be more accurate. GregGarner www.rt-eng.com Home of the mopar solid state limiter adn tach repair kit
