[bada_bing]

I have a 92 bayliner classic 2252 that is equip with a single windshield wiper but I cant seem to locate the switch to turning it on and off. Does anyone know where the switch is located?

Should be in the same group as switches for the other stuff. Probably labeled ACC. Otherwise, follow the wire from the wiper to the switch.

Guys are you serious, im not an idiot if it was easy I would not pose this question. There is no wiper/acc switch where all the other switches are, and to follow a switch wire based on the location of the wiper motor isnt easy either to the reason I asked all of you.

Sorry bada, couldn't resist...

Assuming your wiper motor is mounted on the cabin top (base of the windshield), the wiring will be underneath the cabin overhead, most likely mouse fur. Look up underneath the helm and see if you can see a pair (probably red and black, maybe orange and black) of wires enter in to the helm area from forward, with the red or orange wire running to a switch, the black to a ground bus. Not easy, but it will determine just where the hell the wiring for the wiper motor is. There is also a possibility that the PO disconnected the motor lead to use an ACC switch for something else...

Have you determined if the wiper motor is good ? You may have the switch but if the motor and/or the wiring is faulty then that could be a problem.

If you have a wiper you Have a switch ( Im sure you looked all over the place in the helm location ).

Hot lead and test your wiper motor .

Follow the wires back to the source after that.

Maybe your boat didn't come with a windshield wiper. Look on the motor, it might have a switch built into the motor.

+1...that's where I was headed. Had one on a 24' Bayliner and it was on the bottom of the wiper housing. Push button on/off.
