thanks for the reply guys . i'm not even a backyard mechanic . my knowledge of cars is pretty basic. when it comes to electrical stuff, even worse. plus i don't have a garage and it's pretty cold outside to be messing with a car. i found the video a few days ago about bending the tab for the wipers. i passed it along to the guy working on it (not a certified mechanic). he said he got it to function properly once , then he hasn't had any luck getting it to catch the tab again. i'm thinking i can JB weld another piece of metal to it to make the tab longer and thicker to make the strike zone bigger .worth a try right ?
apparently this car has been sitting for awhile. the guy i bought it from bought it over a year ago and never titled it. said he bought it for his GF but the insurance would have been too much.
i told the guy working on it to replace the cabin filter while he had it apart. he said there was no cabin filter , and pointed to the ground at a big ball of shredded crap (mouse nest) that most likely was at one time the cabin filter. i'm thinking the meeses might have been nawing on some wires as well.
