Hi all
Has anyone removed the wiper/washer foot switch in the '68 and rewired the connector so the wipers still function?
Or is it just pull the connector from the foot switch and the wipers will work thru the panel switch only?
Did a forum search and found nothing.

Hi Henry, I did the foot switch delete.
On the plug that goes to the switch on the pump you will,have to join the solid black wire to the black/yellow stripe wire. I used a double blade connector and plugged the two leads on to it then taped it.
You should check to see if the standard wire harness has the same colours codes as my AAW kit wires mentioned above.

Why remove the foot operated, on-demand, intermittent wiper feature?

Back in the '80s, I was riding in my then '68 with a girl passenger when it started to mist rain. While she and I were chatting away, I turned towards the steering wheel and quickly told the Mustang that the windshield was getting too wet and then went right back to our chatting. It continued to mist lightly and I told the car again about the windshield. Then finally the windshield was completely wet and I sternly told the Mustang "I couldn't see" so the wipers wiped one time. I said, "thank you". Keep in mind that I never moved my hands to any controls. The girl was stunned and asked what just happened. I told her that my Mustang and I had an understanding. She said, "no really, how did you do that?". Meanwhile, the windshield was getting wet again and so again I told the Mustang to pay attention to the rain and the wipers once again wiped one time. The girl looked confused and I went back to our conversation. Meanwhile, ever now and then the wipers would wipe one time on their own. Finally the girl interrupted saying she really wanted to know how the car was doing that!
So why delete this feature?

Also I’m thinking of removing the wiper arms and blades then maybe buying a bottle of rain x cause I don’t plan on going out when it’s wet.😜
REMEMBER!!! When posting a question about your Mustang or other Ford on this forum, BE SURE to tell us what it is, what year, engine, etc so we have enough information to go on. |
