Windshield Wiper Squirters

I'm hooking up the stock windshield wiper squirters on my 1966 F100 but I'm not getting power to the electric motor when I pull on the ****. The two speed windshield wiper function works fine. The number cast on the switch is CSTB-17A553-B. Does anyone know the part number? Has anyone pulled the switch apart and fixed it instead of replacing?

Thanks

Do you not have a small button to push above your ignition switch?

No, the wire from the electric motor plugs into the wiper turn **** switch.

I think I found it with my new handy dandy parts catalog: C6TZ-17A553-B
Has anyone had any luck fixing it?

The two speed windshield wiper function works fine. The number cast on the switch is CS TB-17A553-B.
No such ID number, the 2nd digit in the prefix is a number, not a letter.
Look here: Illustration Section 176.1, Page 3.

Look here: Text Section 176, Page 12 under 17A553

the 66 uses a push button for the washers , located in the l/h side of the dash. you might have a chrome plug where the button goes.

Windshield washer push button (2C-11500) used on all 1965's. 1966's with one speed wipers and on early 1966's (before serial number 760,001) with 2 speed wipers.

1966's from serial number 760,001: The following is the 1966 2 speed wiper switch, that when the **** is pulled out, activates the w/shield washers:

C6TZ-17A553-B .. 2 Speed Wiper Switch-7 terminals (Motorcraft SW-736): Marked with ID number: C6TA-17A553-A or B / Obsolete ~ Dozens available NOS

Applications: 1966 F100/950 & N/NT/T500/1000 from serial number 760,001 / 1966 Econoline from serial number 760,001 / 1967 Econoline / 1967/69 N/NT/T500/1000 & F800/1000.

Thanks for the info, it was a 6, not a S (hard to read the little cast numbers). This switch is the pull for windshield fluid as found on the trucks made later in the year I guess.

the window washer harness is seperate from the main harness. As I recall this switch has a blade off to the side from the main harness that the washer harness plugs into...the washer harness plugs into the fuse block blade at the top which are always hot...

I suspect it was added later as they were not OEM for '66 Slicks.
I believe the windshield washer floor pump "billow" was optional on the earlier '61-'64 Slicks.

It came from the dealer that way. Maybe they had an old one on the shelf and they stuck it on?

Sounds like a likely scenario...

I believe the windshield washer floor pump bellow was optional on the earlier '61-'64 Slicks.
OEM manually operated and electric foot pump bellow washers were available as dealer installed accessories for all 1953/66 trucks and were factory installed on 500 and larger 1967/90's trucks.

The OEM 1965/66 push button type washers were also available as a dealer installed accessory.

(sigh) OEM: Suggest you invest in 1965 & 1966 accessory brochures. Then you can see all the accessories FoMoCo offered that most of y'all have never seen or heard of.
