Used the 12 volt conversion system that also hooks up your wiper motor to a rheostat?
Looks like a good idea for those of us using it as a daily driver, but I wonder if it would still eventually burn out the wiper motor.
Also, my dome light stopped working. No fuses have blown, and the bulb looks good. Do you think I have a bad door contact switch or ground?

The 12-volt 1967 wiper assembly is a direct swap, avoiding the use of a rheostat, and if you use the '67 wiper switch, you'll even get two-speed wipers.
It's just one screw to pull out the door contact switch and clean the connections. If in doubt, you can check for power at the terminals using a $2 test light.
