Thank you for that video. I have been trying to figure out the wiring and how to check the switch on my '72 for about 5 months now. This is a great video
Do all wiper motors have park? I have 2 motors and trying this simple test cant get it to park. Every other operation works fine i just need to time it. Both are 2 speed motors.
Yes, all wiper motors have a park position (terminal 53a or 54). Early wiper motors that have been converted to 12 volt can often times over run the park position and keep running. In those cases it might be necessary to "manually" shut off the switch once the arms have have reached the bottom of the windshield.
@@Sam_MebaneI must say happy holidays, I cant believe your replying to comments. You are an absolute 💎. I was thinking that i should replace it, only thing is I have a manx conversion. So what wiper motor do I get? There are so many different wire configurations for the new motors, and none of the new motors match any wiring diagram I can find colour wise.
@@gosetto69 I wouldn't stress about the colors, the most important thing is matching the motor mounting style as the motor mounts to the wiper arm assembly. Look through the classifieds at thesamba.com for wiper motors to see which style you have and go from there.
@@Sam_Mebane thank you Sam. My other challenge is that I have the intermittent relay 111 955 531. Hopefully you’re able to make a video on testing that one day. There are a lot of people on the forums who are just as confused as me.
It's hard to say whether the switch shorted the motor or vice versa. Either way, if the motor is burnt and the switch is too, they both need to be replaced.
