Turn it on and move it by hand. Sometimes they just stick. Rainx will get you out of the worst of rainstorms in an emergency. I personally never use my wipers, just Rainx. Its old and Aeroquip has a life span in the 15 year range, you may have a broken hose.

Your '59 Crown came from the factory with air operated wiper motors, but a prior owner may have changed them out for electric.  You will need to find out what kind you presently have.  On my '74 Crown, (VIV 37317) the air wipers don't like to work slowly when they are cold wiping ice and snow.  Once warmed up they work great and are quite controllable, but use lots of air.  Crowns forever!!  :) :) :)

Nah.....bugs would NOT EVEN THINK about infesting your Crown Super Coach.  Our buses never break, are self maintaining, never get dirty, get 12 mpg, go 100 mph, blah, blah and never just have a bad day.  Actually, the turn signal control arm gismo may have been changed out at some point in the distant or present past sossss it may be difficult if not impossible to troubleshoot via bulletin boards.  Yeah, you may have a bad auto reset breaker or you may just have a blown fuze.  Also..could you have done something fiddling with the air wipers that may have disabled your turn signals?  Crowns Forever!  :) :) :)

Listen to Henry ....he has all the Crown stuff down solid.   Knows his stuff...

I have a '64 Supercoach also .....most all stuff is "re-build able" ....or off the counter.

No problem...... ;D :o ::)

FWIW

check  to see if you have power to the turn signal relay then ck to see if you have power on the bulb side. I would guess you just disconnected some wire when you worked on the ww's or the relay failed, which they do...nice crown I must say. Did I see it once on the west coast?

Hi MrNow!

Could you let us know what fixed your wipers?  It may help someone else who looks up this thread to fix their wipers.

Welcome to the board!!

Kind Regards,
Phil
