Title: Windshield Wiper Motor:
Post by: Captain D on May 30, 2009, 11:46:38 PM
Hi,

I was just curious to see which windshield wiper motor you guys have used for your 69' Charger. Below, both are for the 69' Charger, but is one better than the other or they equally just as good?

Thank you for any replies,

Both are different....the first is a 3 speed & the second is a 2 speed motor

Do keep in mind though that the first link is actually a 2-speed (and not a 3-speed) showing a 3-speed picture. I haven't been able to find a 3-speed wiper motor (at least for '68) off the shelf.

Thank you guys for the responses. So, basically, they may look different, but they're both 2-speed and perform just as well.

Any issues regarding the wiring with the wiper motor in the second *bay link?

Thank you again!

I might be wrong but I think he said that they are listing a 2spd wiper but showing a 3spd wiper picture so the adds are for both 2 spd with pictures of each.  Check your switch and see how many positions it clicks to see which wiper you had if its missing.

okay, gotcha,  ;)

I read through the thread real quick before work, but I'm on the same page now. I checked my Charger and the wiper motor is a 2-speed. I've search through the forum n' there seems to be a balance between the two models. Both look good, thanks again for the responses fellas!  :cheers:

There probably is a difference in the dash switch as well....I know there is on an E-Body.

Hey again,

I'm still searching for the wiring kit for this motor:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190305308517&ssPageName=ADME:X:AAQ:MOTORS:1123

I found it at the Paddock, but they have a month's waiting period:

For those who have this windshield wiper motor, were you able to locate a complete wiring harness kit for it elsewhere? I'm grateful that the Paddock has them, and if I have to wait a month for it there's nothing that I can do, but if I can locate a new kit faster...that's even better  ;).

"Thank you" again for any replies!
Aaron
