I have the same situation with an installation of a wiper motor, steering column and switches from a '98 GMC pickup. Can you confirm that switching the end cover will reverse the rotation? I didn't discover this situation until the wiper motor is basically inaccessible because of the AC components, so I would appreciate some assurance that the change will work with my generation components. Thanks, David Klinger
What is it you want to accomplish by changing directions? I have been able to change the direction the motor turns but you need to prevent the inner rotating portion from spinning in tandem with the housing because you wont change anything if you don't. My housing can only go on in 1 direction as the nuts are not at 12 O'clock and 6 O'clock, but at 11 O'clock and 7' O'clock.(if anyone reading this had difficulty understanding this, hold your hands at 10&2 on the steering wheel) Now what you will have to do in a situation like mine is rotate the housing 180 and allow the rotating part of the motor to turn with the housing, then rotate another 180 degrees and prevent the inner part from rotating OR vice versa. When I did this the rotation was changed but it did not change how the wipers wiped AT ALL. Somehow when I took everything apart to repair a jamb the "rest position" or reset position of the wipers was at the top of the swipe and not at the bottom where most wipers will reset to. Again, reversing direction DID NOT change how the wipers wipe.
Hi, I did try this and it does work. BUT!!! make sure you hold the rotating part of the motor still or you won't actually change the direction. This being said, I did reverse the direction BUT! wipers still go back to the reset position at the top, not at the bottom and will wipe downward and come back up. I'm at a complete loss as to what needs to change now.
