My records show that I&#8217;ve put 1133 miles on since I went to Nationals, but as I&#8217;ve mentioned before my speedo calibration is wrong. If I do the math for my latest trip back from Chestertown, Google tells me my route from my last fillup was 87.5 miles. My odometer reads 77 miles. If I redo <a href=\"http:\/\/www.billdugan.com\/scout\/2018\/08\/30\/quick-statistics\/\">the ratio I worked out a couple of years ago<\/a>\u00a0I now come up with 100 miles true to 88 miles indicated (vs. 100 true to 78 indicated). This also checks out to +\/- 1 mile <a href=\"http:\/\/www.billdugan.com\/scout\/\">when I apply it to my Nationals trip<\/a>. When I do the (correct) math with the mileage recorded in my notebook, that works out to 2528 miles since the beginning of the year.<\/p>\n<p>Doing some sleuthing, it looks like there&#8217;s a fuse blown or some other electrical gremlin between the switch on the dash and the wiper motor; the motor itself works fine when I put 12 volts to the contacts. From what I&#8217;ve read, the wiper switch itself has a breaker, and the switch doesn&#8217;t go through the fuse panel. I&#8217;ve put in a replacement switch from a different Scout to see if that fixed anything but I&#8217;ve still had no luck, so I&#8217;ll have to keep looking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been putting a lot of miles on the Scout this summer, and she&#8217;s been running exceptionally well for me.
