Wiper switch gets hot
Today had the cutlass out for a nice ride. Got caught in a rain shower and had to turn on the wipers. When I went to turn them off the switch was very hot. I guess 150 to 160 degrees. I could only touch it for a couple of seconds. This is the first time I have used the wipers for any length of time since I got the car. It is a convertible and I try to stay out of the rain in it. The wipers worked fine other than that.
I am going to check the fuse and see if someone put a huge one in. Also check the grounds and see if two wires are touching.
They were on for about 20 mins.
The car is a 71 cutlass convertible.
Anyother ideas on what to look for.
Thanks Larry

Heated discussion
Because the dash is plastic, there are thin metal plates behind the switches for the ground circuit and your heat problem is probably a loose connection at the wiper switch...
