Title: wipers wont work
Post by: 63 superior on May 14, 2011, 12:43:03 PM
New here, first post. I have a 63 Cad, Series 62.  Had it for a few years now.  Anyways, the wipers quit working, and I dont know where to start troubleshooting.  The fuse checks good, and power is going through the fuse.

Check the coonections at the motor to see if you have power. You can also try a jumper wire for direct power. It could be the motor itself needs replacement.

The ground strap may also be loose or broken.

Are the wipers "nested" back down at the bottom of the windshield?

 Its important to know which system you have. Is the car a series 62 normal pass. car or some custom body by Superior? Superior may have used either of the two systems that Cadilac was using in 1963. Warren
