No power to switches

Since changing my dashboard I have no power to the Blower & Wiper switches. Have put a meter across terminals but nothing. Any clues?

Cheers Rob

Hi Rob,
when you say you have no power on the switches,which terminals are you testing ?.
The Blower switch receives 12v positive via the Voltage Stabilzer,12 volt terminal,do your gauges work and indicator function.?
The wiper switch is fed negative via an Earth to ground fixed via a 1/4unf screw under the lower dash padded rail at the end.
The wiper is fed 12volt positve from the loom in the bullet connector block.

David sorted it out , extremely bad earth! But can only get wiper to run at one speed as is the blower. Any clues?

Thanks

Rob,
you may have dirty contacts inside your switches,try spraying some contact cleaner inside them whilst you operate the toggle,that sometimes cleans the contact points which by now will be slightly burnt.
