[DeTomaso] Charlie on the hook again....

[Mark McWhinney]

The windshield fluid pump on top of the white bottle is Lucas, but the
windshield wiper motor is Ducillier.  The wipers do fail, but I think that
is due more to the old grease in the cable than to motor failure.  Also, the
electrical contacts in the wheel well get very dirty and wet.  This was mine
before I cleaned it.

Sorry, I slipped my fingers on the key....

Isnt the wiper motor of the Pantera one Lucas thing that "never"  fail?
Even if no service, greasing, is performed for 30 years.
I wouldnt blame the Pantera electrical for beeing bad, of course an old
system fail oor at least some singlle part of it. It is a VERY  simple basic
system using a lead from the battery to a switch out to the blub, no more
no less. Where can it go wrong?

Most problems I have seen is people fabricating jumpers for some reasons,
or overheated ground leads fro whatever reasons, that melt a number of leads
close to it.

A common problem is that all leads out at the front and rear lights is 
oxidating
to black from moisture, maybe we can blame the sockets from the time. I have
newer seen a proper fix of this problem, only jumpers and the like.
