Wiper Switch
Hey guys,
The wiper switch in my 65/F350/352 is acting up. I have power to both speeds for my wipers, but how do you make fluid spray to the windshield, do you pull the ****? the owner's manual says there is a push pedal on the floor that you push to get fluid to spray on the windshield, so what is supposed to happen when you pull the ****, anything? Since i got it, i haven't known, one mystery after another, but i still love it. I got under the dash, on the back side of the switch there are two male prongs that are not hooked up to any wires, so i put the test light on those prongs and got nothing... any idea if i should be getting any juice or should i just go ahead and install a push button to operate the spray? thanks guys, you're a great help to a 16 year old with his first slick...thanks

As stated buy tomrooster-1 you should have a push button for your sprayer I did not have one in my 64 because the washer bag and button were not available in 64 (I think) but I have one now, the push button I mean, I use it for my big rig air horn I don't have a horn ring on my steering wheel but I do like using slick ford parts when possible.

Three types of windshield washers were used in 1965/66, only one was factory installed. Windshield washers were an accessory then, they didn't come standard.
Type #1~Factory installed, activated by a push button above the ignition switch.
Type #2~Dealer add on accessory, uses a foot pump mounted on the toe board (firewall), electrically operated. A gentle touch to the pedal activates the motor.
Type #3~Dealer add on accessory, similiar to type #2, except manually operated (not electric). You need to pump the pedal to activate it.
All three systems use a washer bag mounted to the right fender inner apron, the motor is either on the firewall, or on the apron.
