Vacuum to Electric Wipers, someone's gotta know?

Post by TJFIve »

Hey, yall.
I am about to swap my vacuum wiper motor for an electric one. The drama I that the new motor spins continuosly in one direction. This causes a problem because the auxillary drive assembly ( almost shaped like an "S" bend) does not let the wiper arm's cross over. What ever shall I do?

So auxillary drive and arms will complete it? Thanks very much, I shall soldier on. Did any EK's come out with vacuum wipers, or were they all electric? Progress I feel is near. :?
