I just picked up this 74 cj5 about a week ago. I dont know much about jeeps. bought it at a farm sale last week. the back of the wiper switch is broke,the little external box is broke off.
it has a 3 wire plug,and a single wire,on the switch.and a wire to the box,that makes 5 wires total. the switches I see all say 3 wire. I could only get one of your sites to come up,it just gave me the three wire description,no pictures. my question is,do these new switches come with the external box? is this a little resistor or what? do I need it? chilton schematic sucks!
thanx

 

The little box is actually a self reseting circuit breaker (fuse) I don't recall the value of it.

 

on my 73 i don't have that breaker. i just put a new wiper motor, pump, switch everything works great. the switch has 5 prong on it three go to motor, 1 pump, 1 hot.

 

IIRC, the 3 wires are for your wiper operation, and the additional 2 wires would be for the windshield washer pump. If you must have a windshield washer (and it still works) just use a little push-button mounted in an inconspicuous place and get the 3 wire switches listed.

 

thanks for the info guys! I found a switch today,with 5 posts on it. for 25$.I will get it monday! now I just need to figure out the feul gauge problem. and I need to figure out where to get a smaller steering wheel,my gut gets in the way!!! my daughter and I are very excited about this little jeep! cant wait to cruise around in it and check the cattle!
