[DeTomaso] Anyone know where I can get a Wiper switch

[Jim Kosloskey]

Mike,

The mechanic working on the car indicates to me the rocker has broken. I will double check with him to see if that is truly the case.

Jim,

I presume you are referring to the later rocker-style switch with the green illuminated inlay?

Those haven’t been available for years although Wilkinson has been working on reproducing them. In the meantime, an even later style switch which is functionally the same but cosmetically different is available. 

FWIW the rocker-style switches almost never go bad. Have you actually tested yours or are you making an assumption. Wiper problems are 99.9% of the time caused by a failure of the motor, or the electrical switch mounted to the outside of the motor.
