I would take the ww motor apart an make sure nothing is loose inside and grounding intermittently.  I had a starter solenoid one that that would short intermittently because of some loose metal inside.

Re windshield wipers I had a little time yesterday to work on my inoperative windshield wipers.  I reconnected the dome light, ( a simple slip - together connection that came apart) The wipers are still a mystery. After tracing the melted wire from the wiper back tohte splice behind the instrument panel and replacing that piece of wire,  I took my 12volt battery charger inside the cab and temporarily wired a fuse inline and connected the two leads to the two posts on the wiper motor. It began normal operation back and forth. I unclipped the wires and the blades stopped in mid - swing. I reconnected the normal power source from the trucks' wiring and the motor started up, but then stopped as soon as it came to it's "park" position. I performed this twice with the same result. My take - away from this experiment is that the motor is fine and the wiring repair was successful, but perhaps the switch is burnt out?? Back to the wiring diagram.Tim '61 Rampy ____________________________________________________________
