just bought a used 88 camaro and wipers are not working need help

This is my first car it is a used 88 T-top camaro, and when I got the car i forgot to test the wipers... and when i tested them they didnt work need help. I got a new wiper motor and put that in still doesnt work and I looked at the fueses and they look good to need some help guys. any ideas would be great?


Thank you

Most likely your wiper switch.

Located in the steering column. The turn signal/cruise control stalk connects to it.

Not terribly hard to replace if you have some mechanic experience.

Recently replaced mine in my GTA. The part and the attached connecting wire harness (about two feet of wire which runs along the steering column to a plug near your feet) was somewhere around $125.

If you do not have much experience, pay to have it repaired. You COULD mess some stuff up in the column.
