V-Glide Wiper Switch, Continued:
V-Glide Wiper Switch Arm Adjustment
The contact surfaces on the wiper switch arm brush and the fixed contacts must be parallel to ensure effi-
cient operation of the V-Glide wiper switch (See Figure 19-14). Adjust arm contact as follows:
1. Remove the No. 5 and No. 6 batteries from the vehicle (Figure 19-1, Page 19-2) and remove the cover
from the V-Glide wiper switch.
2. Test the wiper switch arm and fixed contacts for proper adjustment:
2.1. Completely coat the contact surfaces of the wiper arm brush and fixed contacts with removable
ink.
2.2. Sweep the V-Glide wiper switch arm brush back and forth across the fixed contacts. Scraping of
the ink should show contact on at least 30% of the surface of the wiper switch arm brush and on
each fixed contact. If 30% contact is not shown, surface contact needs to be adjusted.
3. To adjust surface contact, remove the spring cotter pin (24) and turn the adjustment screw (14) until the
surfaces of the wiper switch arm brush and fixed contacts are parallel (Figure 19-15).
4. After adjustment has been made, apply one drop of Loctite® 290 thread locking compound to the
adjustment screw (14) at the hex nut (11). Then install the spring cotter pin (24) through the hole in the
adjustment screw (Figure 19-15). See NOTE below.
FIGURE 19-14
• IF THE WIPER SWITCH ARM BRUSH IS WORN TO OR BEYOND THE WEAR LIMIT LINE, IT
SHOULD BE REPLACED. IF ANY OF THE FIXED CONTACTS ARE EXCESSIVELY WORN, PIT-
TED, OR BURNED, THE ENTIRE WIPER SWITCH HOUSING WITH FIXED CONTACTS MUST BE
REPLACED.
• A THREAD LOCKING COMPOUND HAS BEEN PLACED ON THE THREADS OF THE CONTACT
STUDS TO PREVENT REMOVAL OF THE FIXED CONTACTS. IF REMOVAL OF A CONTACT
STUD IS ATTEMPTED, THE STUD OR THE HOUSING WILL BREAK BEFORE THE NUT COMES
LOOSE.
