headlights and wipers quit

Post by dulcimerbob »

I rebuilt my ignition switch and now my car runs great but my headlights and wipers quit . There is no voltage at the fuses and the fuses are good . did I screw the switch up or is this a whole different problem ? Thanks

Not sure what year your car is or if that makes a difference. I have a schematic for the 1981 Spider.
The switch has a terminal labeled INT this supplies voltage to the wipers through fuse B and to the headlight toggle switch on the dash. You might check this terminal at the ignition switch there should be a blue/black wire. At the connector behind the switch the car side of the connector should have a blue/red and a blue wire mating with the blue/black on the switch. The blue/red powers Fuse B for the wipers. The blue powers the headlight switch.
