When I bought my 67 Mustang It already had the washer motor and all hoses taken out, so now I'm going to put the motor back in but I just can't seem to figure out where the washer switch is. I have the Chilton book but It doesn't say. Anyone out there know where the switch is? on the wiper switch?

Hello.Welcome.The washer pump for the 67s doesn't have a switch.It's a mechanical pump.There should be a small pedal on the left side of the floor,similar in appearance to a parking brake pedal.You pump on that and it squirts the fluid on the windshield.Hope that helps.And again,welcome .

Sorry if this picure is HUGE, but this is my first attempt at adding a picture to this site. Could you look at this picture and tell me if I'm missing something, or where this mechanical linkage is for the washer pump? Also when I bought the car it had a little light/switch thing on the right of the steering column that I've still yet to figure out what it controls/does. Thanks

Hi again.Here'a couple of pictures of what it should look like.If you look in the area of the high beam switch on the floor,just to the left of the emergeny brake handle you will see the little pedal.In the picture of the Shelby you can see the little switch on the side of the steering column.If yours is in that location and similar in appearance it's the emergency flasher switch.Hope that helps.

I guess the old owner took out the pedel for the washer pump, mines missing it. The light/switch thing I was talking about I circled in this picture.

Hi again.That's your seat belt warning light.They weren't wired into the seat belts like a modern day car.It is just supposed to come on when you start the car and then go off after 10 or 15 seconds.It was more of a seat belt reminder light than an indicator that you had failed to put on your seat belt.Kind of cool ,actually,and moderately rare.

Wow. OK, I'm curious, now... If you know, Veronica, why did they go from an electric washer pump in '66 to a mechanical washer pump in '67? Seems like a step backwards to me...

[Veronica]

Hi again.I'm sure the decision had something to do with the fact that it is a much cheaper system to build and a much simpler system to install.Apparently,the new car buyers also felt like it was a step backward, because Ford dropped that ridiculous assembly for the 68 model year and went back with what people prefered.Hitting a switch is much easier than stomping your foot like a carnival horse counting apples.

I think Ford tried say the switch to the foot pump was for safety. You could wash the windshield without taking your hands off the wheel. I think it's kind of neat much like the old push button trans control Chrysler had or the mirrors that mounted on the dash. It adds charecter.
