Never heard of wipers running off the p/s pump. I guess it has some sort of hydraulic drive system?
I'm not sure exactly what exactly drives the wipers, never even wondered really. Now I must take it apart and find out!2020 F250 - 7.3 4x4 CCSB STX 3.55's - BAKFlip MX4

While poking around an old mid 70s Revcon Motorhome I noticed that the wiper motor was not the typical one I've seen on other Motorhomes including our Classic Motorhomes. I had never heard of this
Not a huge amount of info on hydraulic wipers coming up in a cursory search, but the above are somewhat interesting, at least. I actaully don't mind the idea of not needing a huge electric motor on the cowl ....
I guess your wiper motor must be powered by what look like two hydraulic lines going into the cowl behind the air cleaner?2012 Mazda5 Touring | Finally working on the LTD again!

In 1974, wife and I had just got married. Were living in Southern California then. I was 22 and was looking for something a bit more 'substantial' to drive than our 6 cylinder '68 Camaro. My brother-in-law was driving a '69 Thunderbird, so I thought it would be a cool option. Saw an ad for a '69 4-door T-Bird at a Ford dealer in Glendale. Heck, it was only $1,000!
It had over 100k miles on it, and some of the electrics didn't work (very similar to your issues), but it ran real good. Took it home. I loved it, but unfortunately the 1974 gas crisis hit shortly thereafter, and we literally couldn't afford the gas toput into it (wasn't making much money back then...)
Ours was pretty much the same as yours, except for the grill, taillights, and the color - white with a black landau top, bench seat. Sold it and bought a '72 Ford Courier.
