windshield wipers

[rif222]

Re posting. Windshield wipers on my 72 240 work,but not much difference between the 2 speeds. Slow. Linkage has been cleened and lubed. The wiper motor came out of a fairly low mieage car. Do you think the problem is in the motor or in the colum switch? Thanks. Bill.

No, slow and slower seems to be about right.

About the only thing you can do is to change the motor to another style. There's a thread regarding the Honda Civic motor that you can search for.

I Had the same issue. I removed the wiper pivots from the car and disassembled them. Although they turned freely I was surprised at the amount of rust in them. I cleaned up the shafts on the wire brush and used a dremel with a wire brush on the bores. I reassembled with grease and the wipers worked like new.

Not as good as retrofitting a modern motor but a whole lot easier.
