wiper motor

Post by BILLY BLACKARROW »

HI all
I had a problem with the wiper motor when I put the motor in the wiper motor was over the distributor
IMG_1854.JPG[/attachment so I moved it 90 deg witch turned out easier than I thought [attachment=0]IMG_1859.JPG
the problem I have now is I am useing ( Brett_fs wiper motor conversion ) wired it as he showed but there isnt a park position it just stops where you turn it off I don't have a problem with that as I can turn it off at the bottom of the stroke BUT dose it have to park for engeneer & rego & if so how do I get them to park as there is no power after they are turned off (for some reasone the photo's are ass about but you will get the idea )

Pretty sure the FE FC forum has a thread on this conversion using his switch and prestlite commodore motor. I remember reading it and thinking it sounded complicated (electrical idiot me). Good luck with it.

I did this mod on my FC Sedan and it was easier than I thought (sorry errol) and mine does park, can only suggest you check your wiring again mate and as suggested check the earths.

Billy I had the same problem I lengthened the drive arm, the first one on the wiper motor that has the two bends, goes from wiper motor to the piece that joins the two arms together.
I lengthened it by about 5 or 10mm (can't remember) this was on my FC, they don't stroke exactly but pretty close.
I'll see if I can get a photo for you.
