Dani - The adjustments in the shop manual are all about making sure that this wiper switch (as it is called) is in the correct position depending on whether the locks are "on" or "off". Secondarily, the adjustments take out all freeplay and slack in the system so that everything moves crisply. I found on Winged1 that the pivot point for the lock bellcrank (that holds the wiper switch) was worn, letting the bellcrank flop around quiite a bit. I tightened up the rivet by carefully driving it with a hammer to make it pivot properly, and then cleaned the contact surfaces (both the copper pins imbedded in the plastic, and the thin copper sheaves that move) with emery cloth and degreaser. The best thing is to get the manual, and follow the instructions to the letter. After that is done, you can then debug the rest of the locking system.

My thoughts were perhaps these parts weren't making a complete contact and tripping the locks back to locked-and perhaps when I try to unlock it will not unlock because the plate doesn't make contact with the ones in the plastic piece. I can bend the rod to make it contact better, or even unscrew the switch and move the switch. Well the switch is moved all the way down so I can't move it anymore to help those contacts out. Also I didn't find that "U" shaped piece you were describing-where abouts is this? I figured I would see if the contacts could be a problem before I start bending stuff To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address: moderators@xxxxxxxxxxx For more info on the list, tech articles, cars for sale see www.dmcnews.com To search the archives or view files, log in at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnews Yahoo!
