Windshield Wiper Power Source

Post by JKISP »

All three of my windshield wipers failed yesterday while underway in a heavy Florida thunderstorm ( go figure ). Later I found the power supply line to the switch panel was dead and while trying to find where the line received power I moved the line enough so power returned to the circuit. So does anyone know where the wiper switch panel ( just forward of the throttle ) gets power from, (1) the battery switch ( over on the port side in the cabin ) or (2) the helm console switch panel ( about 6 inches forward of the wiper switches ). All very tight in there and can”t follow the line which is about an AWG 10 red in color

Pretty sure mine runs from the non always hot power strip behind the mirror in the bathroom cupboard. I will be doing a 12 vdc electrical panel upgrade soon. Doing my research currently...
