    The radio should work. Im not sure what else.
    01 SFA 1500: project truck, in pieces again
    87 Jeep Cherokee: trail rig, slowly getting built
    03 Buick LeSabre: fully loaded daily driver
    84 M1009: constantly broken money pit, finally gone

    Ya, that's about it as far as I remember.
    There's ACC taps on the fuse box, but on a Classic, I can't think of anything other than the radio that's on the circuit.
    I don't remember wipers... they might be on it but I'm not 100%.
    Dad's '73 didn't have power windows so I don't know if they went hot or not.

    Rich, I just checked, wipers do work on accessory in an 84.
    I wouldnt have even thought of that if you hadnt said something.

    I remember sitting in various vehicles in the rain with the radio on and hitting the wipers every now and then, but I couldn't remember if I was in ACC or if I had the engine running for heat.
