I fully agree. I can't stand those presentations that begin with a ten minute introduction of what the video will be about and the ten minutes of excuses that the camera and the 🎉sound are lousy. "I'm going to show you how to change a spark plug. My great grandfather built this shop in 1896..."
I like how this guy does his presentation with his videos but just wanted to clarify a few things: the motor is an electric motor - not "electronic" / the spiral gear is commonly referred to as a worm gear / the switching mechanism behind the rotating spur gear (driven by the worm gear) is mechanical in nature - not "electronic". The term electronic seems to be ever more loosely used in describing components such as this when electrical is much more appropriate. I came here to learn how windshield wiper system work as I have an issue with my car's system not returning the wiper blades to home position when turned off. I thank this gentleman very much for taking the time to assemble this video! I think he also produced a video on EVAP systems used in cars as well, which he also did an excellent job of-thanks!!!
Wow, an intelligent and knowledgeable discussion about the internal workings of the windshield wiper motor and associated transmission. Most videos just show how to take the old motor out and put a new one in without explaining the internal workings of the 12V motor and electronics in the transmission housing. Thanks again for the great video!
Thanks for this. I'm attempting to build a cat toy launcher for my pet and I think this motor will be the best one to use. I needed the detailed explanation without having to take the motor apart.
This was great! Thanks for doing a video on this, I've been looking for some time on a detailed video covering how the windshield system works. Seems like no one has ever taken the time to do one until now. Thanks again!
Excellent! Two things I enjoyed: pointing to everything with a suspiciously clean toothbrush using your _brother's old underpants_ Now I'm going to watch this a few more times to understand the satisfyingly complex system, Heath Robinson would approve.
Many mid-20th century cars had a wiper motor powered off the engine vacuum. When the accelerator pedal was depressed (such as when driving uphill) the lower vacuum of the engine would often cause the wipers to stop working.
Another great video. This time, I didn't come looking for help for my car, rather someone was using these motors for their robot build and I wanted to know more about how they worked.
Cool, I always guessed it was a push-button limit switch external to the motor that got the wipers to "park" at the bottom, but it's more like a rotary switch internal to the motor.
Awesome video. Perfect. Exactly what I always wondered and needed to know in my current problem. Trying to fix a Ford Truck. They have the wiper motor going threw the GEM (Generic Electronic Module). I was hoping to wire around the GEM with the use of a High/Low switch. Between the wiring diagram and your video I now have a much better understanding on how I will do this. Who knows maybe I'll make a video of my fix. I've had to fix other things on that Truck. Thank you.
Hi , it's a great video. I manage to understand how it works now. Just found an error at 6:01, you mentioned capacitor. BTW that's a transistor. There are capacitors in the circuit. Well done for the effort of making this video.
@@speedkar99 you should pursue it then, you have a talent for explaining this sort of thing in a technically correct but condensed style. Most engineering professors are useless and don't care about the students because they are too busy with their own research.
Wow! That’s a lot of information in a very short time! Terrific explanation! It would not hurt, and would help many viewers, to go just a little slower. Keep up the good work. Best wishes.
You can swap to the intermittent wipers just by swapping the appropriate switch from a higher spec corolla (I loves me some junkyards) The timer for the intermittent is in the switch.
Thanks a lot. Now I understood how the wiper comes back to home postion. Also about reed switch in float mechanism. My question now is ,we can use any washer fluid in tank,since it will not corrode the turbine in pump since it is made of plastic & motor pump is well protected
Very informative and oddly entertaining video. Will be coming back for more. (This video was featured on popular mechanics and that's how I found out about your channel)
Hey thanks man, I see in some of your videos you include main malfunction reasons for these autoparts but not in this one. I would like to know why the wiper motor fails (humidity, overheating, etc) For instance the wiper motor housing usually has a breather hole with a small membrane to prevent water coming in which is crucial for durability but you did not mention it. Other than that great video!
If you set the wiper switch to the high speed setting, and a cable break occurs in the high speed wire while the wipers are in a non-parked position: will the wipers stop where they are, or will they return to park using the low speed setting?
The day you made a youtube video .... your brother knows he is gona need a new tooth brush and a new underwear..😀 ... nice videos Bro... really impressed by your way of explaining complicated stuff in easy to digest way for dummies like me... really appreciate it... thanx again and keep it up.....
+Muhammad Tayyab thanks, short, to the point and easy to understand is my style. My brother doesn't use underwear and toothbrush so he's not missing out on anything.
Good day from Waterloo I was a t a store in Missisagua , fellow come in needed underwear & tooth brushes , said his bro, is taking them. LOL Good video.. Thanks
