M1009 Intermittent wiper and horn failure

[Trailgator]

‘84 M1009 The Wipers will be working fine then shut off, when attempt to turn back on they will not work, nor will the horn work, next day, horn works, turn on wipers they work fine, then problem repeats itself. I’ve tried connecting a separate ground from wiper motor with no joy.

Suggestions please...........

Thanks.

Could the fuse have poor contact with the fuse box? A frayed or crushed wire coming out of the steering column causing intermittent connection? You need new contacts inside the steering wheel column?

I’ve checked the fuse and it’s connection, it’s good &clean. I should have said that the wipers would work until I turned them off, then when I would try to turn them back on they would not work until setting at least overnight.

Thanks.

I replaced the wiper motor, lubed the linkage, horn has been working, haven’t checked the wipers for any extended time yet. More than likely I’ll end up replacing the switch in the steering column..........
