I'm hoping someone might be able to shed some light on an electrical issue that has me stumped! I'm working on a 1968 camaro with a aaw wiring harness and it's about 90% installed. I just installed a dse wiper motor kit and when the key is turned on my wiper motor clicks but it still work perfectly.(not sure if it's supposed to click?) The main problem is when I flip the turn signals on the wiper motor clicks along with the signals? The dse wiper motor kit is very simple to install as it's just a power and ground but yet this has me stumped as to why it would click along with the signals??? Any tips or advise I will give a try!
Thanks

It sounds like you don't have something grounded properly and when you turn the turn signals on you are back feeding through the path of least resistance to ground. This could be a loose pin fit or the ground itself. Headlights used to be common to do this, one dim and one bright. Go back and check all you connections

I agree with tumper. Sounds like a ground issue. Finish the install, check everything, and try it again. Make sure your ground connections are touching metal, not paint.
