winshield wiper switch
1980 eagle:
does anybody know were i can get a switch for my 1980 or what years will fit.thank you and have a great day.
T5258:
If memory serves, any compact AMC after 1970 (Hornet, Gremlin, Concord, Spirit etc) used the same type of switch....only difference would be if equiped w/variable intermittent wipers....
IowaEagle:
Yes, there are two different switches. One for the standard 2-speed set up and one for intermittent wipers.

Hi there!
I read somewhere on here about the wiper switches, a parts guy said that a 1980 - 1990 full sized ford truck would work & gave the parts numbers DS-577 which costs $52 DS-577T costs $29 thru Rock auto.
What is the difference between the two?? mine work but have one speed & you have to shut it off when they are at the bottom of the windshield or they will stop wherever. how do i know which switch i have? or can i put one w/ the 2 speed? and what about the delay that some have talked about? ??? my knob is broken on the switch but does work...
any help would be appreciated... thank u...
my new mechanic also took the old carb off & put an autolite on, took the smog stuff off....
man the car runs so much better!!! we'll see about gas mileage....
thank you for all of you help guys!!!

it is very simple to see if you have a delay wiper switch, move the switch left .... it it goes you have delay wipers, if it does not turn left then you are the proud owner of a 2 speed wiper ;D
