    68 wiper door closes on arms??

    The 68 doesn't use the vacuum switch under the pass side wiper to ensure the wipers are seated down before the doors close, as the later 69-72 years do. So, what is supposed to do this function on 68's??? My system works properly in all other functions except when I turn the switch off the door wants to close on the wipers before the wipers are completely stowed down. I can use the door overide to keep it from happening, but I'd like to get it to function properly. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Gary

    Something is not working correctly with your set up.
    My 68 wiper door does not close until the wipers have parked themselves.
    , no matter when I turn them off. The door always stays open until the wipers are fully down in the parked position, and only then does the wiper door close.
    Likewise when I turn them on, the wipers do not move until the door is open to prevent the wipers from hitting the door.
    Look in your wiring diagram, there is a switch somewhere that is not functioning properly.
    I don't remember where it is but it may be the switch on the firewall near the vacuum canister that operates the wiper door.

      Kurt is right. The switch is right beside the cannister.
