What are the differences on the wiper switches? 72 vs 73 on.

[SteveJ]

I know the connectors are different on the 74/75's, but I am wondering if the operation, wire color codes and internals are all the same.

My 72 has the combo turn signal/wiper stalk switch.

Up = left turn

Down = right turn

Pull back = windscreen washer

Push in end = wipers on/off.

The wiper speed(slow, painfully slow, and smear) control is a knob on the dash.

As I recall, my late 71 had the same set-up, my early 71 I can't recall.

What do all of you have for your 73's & 74/75s?

Late 71, 72 and 73 models are the same as you described. 74 models have a right side wiper stalk that has three positions: off, then up a click for slow, then up another click for fast. 75 and 76 models have a right side wiper stalk with four positions: off, then up a click for intermittent, then up another click for slow, then up another click for fast. I believe early models had a dash mounted switch that you pulled out for slow and then pulled out again to the second stop for fast.
