wiper motor
HI all
I had a problem with the wiper motor when I put the motor in the wiper motor was over the distributor 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 )

Re: wiper motor
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.

Re: wiper motor
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.

Re: wiper motor

When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

Re: wiper motor
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.
