74 Firebird wiper switch
Wondering if there are any replacement wiper switches for a 73-77 firebird 2 speed recessed wiper motor system?
I see a couple of NOS and a few used. I bought a used unit and it didn't work, don't really want to pay >$100 for a NOS unit. Any leads appreciated! Thanks

Used only. A vendor that did reproductions for a few other wiper switch options had them lined up to do also but pulled out at last minute deciding too expensive to proceed based on return. The NOS switches would probably still have been cheaper anyway.

That's what I'm finding. I see some new for a X body car that look similar, but the electrical Connector pin placement is different. I did try to take the used one apart but the plastic was very brittle and cracked pretty easily. Looks like I need to step up and get an NOS unit.

Plenty of used, and most would work just fine. But need to find that combination with one that is also good condition with good lettering. The chrome knob can be replaced. And they are also climbing in price also.
GM #1994143 / #1994179 for 1973-1981, of course only those in boxes will be listed with part numbers. B-bodies used the same switch. Last edited by Trevor78; 05-08-2022 at 08:20 PM. |

1973-77 LeMans also used the same switch.

Thanks for the information!
Got my eye on a couple of nice looking used units on ebay.
