Simple questions

Post by amsiegel »

1 Is a 1977 Soider with a 32 ADFA card suspose to have a throttle cable with knob under steering wheel?

2 Does the courtesy light swith have 3 postions or 2. Is there a constant on? Mine only has off and on when doors open. I can push it to the side and it turns on but the swith will not stay on.

3 Where is the device located that causes the water to squirt on the winsheild. I dont have one in my car (or tubing or the jets) I am just trying to figure out where it is suspose to be.

See that was simple

Simple answers:
1. Yes
2. Two - on and door-activated. Take the light out and clean, bend the contacts - it's very rudimentary.
3. A pump lives in the washer fluid bag. Pull on the wiper lever to activate it.

Have fun!

Thanks for verifing my thought

I had no idea the pump lives in the bag. I dont have the bag. I will also have to check to see if the wires are still there
