A good repop can sort of be hard to locate. I remember a thread that talks about a easy aquired cheaper diifferent appliciation (like a Dodge) and it is the same set up. Looking for that thread. And in the mean time repop parts sources.

Hopefully its just a simple fix like a fuse, disconnect clean and reconnect the main elec connector. Or maybe just a wiper switch replacement.
Thats what I'm hoping, is that its nothing major. Because the motor thats in it seems to be the original one from the factory. So I'm hoping it's just the wiper switch. It could also be the fuse, I would have to check. I didn't have time to yesterday. Today i do though.
The Wiper Washer works off the Backup Light fuse so your washer pump can still work but the wipers may not.
This is my first classic so i have zero clue on the diagnosing process. Im used to more modernized vehicles. Thank you all for the help and support on this.
Start with fuse for wipers, if it's good, check for V and corrosion at the fuse block, good 12V no gunk, move up to wiper switch, check wires along the way, remove wiper switch, check conx for goo/corrosion, if found, clean off, if not, thanks to Rich's help, you can run a hot wire to wiper motor Low blade and see if it works...
On my 66 F100, my wipers stopped, in the process of pulling the switch, it basically fell apart in my hand, unfortunately for me, mine had the single speed wipers and was super difficult to find one.

i just inspected the fuse. The little wire on the inside looks white. But still one piece. Im guessing thats not good.
also where can i find a nice fuse kit?
update:
i just messed around with the fuses. The switch is making a "tick tick tick" and same with the wiper motor. What does this mean? Is the switch shot?
not be be blunt, but you can't just guess that the fuse is bad...you need to test it will the continuity function of your multimeter. Rich posted step-by-step instructions on trouble shooting the issue, so there is no need for you to guess and especially nobody that isn't at the vehicle. The clicking sound is the circuit breaker opening and closing...could be several things that following the steps above will pinpoint the issue.

Sorry for trying to gain more info. First classic I've owned. I also haven't had time to get a multimeter, probably will pick one up this week. Thats why I'm asking, especially since it seems others have experience similar things. Sorry again for the aggravation i must have caused.
no need to apologize...but you're going to have to help us out...We could all share our experience with wipers not working and what part we replaced, but you might be wasting your money on that part...and nobody wants you to be wasting money.
