    windshield wiper washer

    ok guys I plan to add a washer to my wipers...I currently have a 2 speed and I can pull out the knob so im assuming it is gtg to add a pump...my car(66 mustang) was completely rewired by the previous owner..my question is does the switch have a hot connection for the pump when I pull it? and if so can I plug into that and ground the other terminal off the pump to the body somewhere next to the pump?

    Re: windshield wiper washer

    My handy dandy wiring diagram tells me the washer motor has a power wire from the switch and shares a common ground with the wiper motor, so there are actually two wires going to it in a common sheath.  You can actually buy the pump/motor power wire from the after market.  It's pretty easy.  No need for custom setups unless you have a driving need to do it yourself.

    My 66 with original wiring has the washer motor grounded to the inner fender. Wipers are single speed with washer switch built in to the wiper switch.

    Why not upgrade to the 68 foot pedal manual washer pump. No wiring involved.
