Never heard of a solenoid for a wiper motor, but then again my 78 is
enough different from you 77 that there could be. I will take a look
tonight, but do not expect to be a lot of help. I do not rmrmber anything
like that in the 76 but I have not had that car for 17 years.

profound statement:
>When I was replacing the fuse block, I noticed a small metal can on the

>next to the bonnet hinge. There are six terminals on the bottom,
>representing four circuits. (That is, four of the terminals are connected
>into two circuits electrically.) There are NO wires on this thing at all!
>So the DPO replaced it with something else. There are no markings on the

>I looked at the wiring diagram and could not find anything with six wires on

>it was mounted with two machine screws into captive nuts in the firewall.
>Once again, this is my '77 Midget.
