Re: Spider Electrical Issue

This is really winding me up now...
Replaced all 3 console switches, carefully checking connections at switches per schematic. All OK.
Replaced column switch stalks as well with new part, wired in correctly per schematic.
Checked all connections at fuse block - all is as it should be per schematic.
At this point, I get blower light in speedo, both low and high settings, but no blower.
Wipers are not functioning at all.
Indicators do not work either, but flashers work OK.
Headlights work OK, both dipped and main beam.
Every time I replace the fuse controlling wipers, it pops as soon as battery is re-connected.
Wiper motor was not disturbed, and was working OK last fall.
I am wondering if something was disturbed at ignition switch when I removed column shroud - does anyone have a photo or some indication as to what lead connect to which terminals at back of ignition switch ? I see schematic shows only Black 12ga wire to Term 50, brown to Term 15/54, and red 12 ga wire to Term 30, but I see many empty terminals, and cannot tell which terminal is which on the switch itself (crap eyesight, I'm afraid). Can anyone guide me, as I look at the back of the switch, which of these leads connects to which terminal ??
Running out of ideas. Don't think the wiper motor was drowned in scuttle, as drain hole is clear (and car was never in rain).
HELP !
