hi, my freinds wiper switch just stoped working, he has a 86 with no rear wiper or sun roof, him and I were wondering if there is somthing we could do to fix it.
Thanks

 

common probelm for rx7s mine doesnt work except on like the second setting. Do a search alot of people have this problem or just buy a used one they are pretty cheap off ebay.

 

You can either buy a used one or go to any 2nd gen rx7 site with the FAQ and it will have the fix on there its a resistor that goes bad and all you do is swap it out but you gotta have some soldering skills good luck.

 

a resister or a relay? and what site would have the fix?

If you don't want try and repair yourself, "e" mail Joe Romeo-joe@fc3s.org
You'll need to send it to him prepaid (I think $60) to Rancho Cucamonga, Calif. If you choose to do this, DON'T try and repair it yourself first.

 

No it is a relay that goes out not a resistor.

The most common problem with the switch is that it looses all settings except the low speed.

Replaceing the relay will solve that. See ted's site for a great write up. http://fc3s-pro.com/TECH/HOWTO/WIPER/wiper.html

 

sorry i get them mixed up it IS a relay either way you can replace it for cheap

 

Didnt Sniper X say he would do them for 30 or 40? You might want to get in touch with him.
