wiper motor

[BILLY BLACKARROW]

How do you tell if you have a two speed wiper motor------ so far I have been told ----if it has two terminals on it it is two speed--- it depends on the wiper switch --I am f####d If I Know. I know they are rare so I am Shaw I don't have one (MURPHYS LAW) but tell me how to tell nothing pisses me off more than not knowing simply s##t like this

Hi Billy

From memory single speed wiper motor had 2 wires
one is constant 12v the other is the switch wire ( which is actually the earth )

Now I don't know about the rare 2 speed FB ones
but every 2 speed wiper motor I know of on a Holden
Has 4 Wires
1 constant 12v
2 resisted low speed
3 straight high speed
4 the earth for the washers
clear as MUD
so forget the washers I would presume it would have to have 3 at least

Them be the "Variable speed" ones..... go very slow up hill (if you're lucky) and like a bat out of hell down hill

Or send a Preslite motor and arm to Ken on the FE FC Forum and he sends back the whole set up ready to go for around $80

Preslite wiper motors are getting very hard to
find now days so i use both delco and preslite
i dont take the whole wiper motor they send me only the base
plate and the arm you get to keep the wiper motor it came off
for a spare or sell it to make some money back
my kit comes with switch wirring and bolts pretty much straight in
i make verry little money on them as i sorce good quality wiper motors
and switches
like Ken its more of a help some one get closer to getting
there project that little bit closer to being complete and from my own
experience being in the position of having my sedan ready for engineer's
report except for the 2 speed wiper . Jay

I had mine done about 8 years ago from Ken and it was $100 back then, so I would say they are a bit more than that now, Trev .

I have never owned them variable speed ones either
I have owned 4 FB's in the past and all have had electric wipers
so maybe I have had one of the 2 speed ones just didn't realise
to have an FB and turn the switch and actually have wipers
I never pushed the point

I have been told by engineer that you don't need two speed wiper just that it wipes the screen so many times in a certain time frame cant remember No of wipes or time frame but he said if it is in good working order it will do it. I was wondering what a two speed looked like to see if I had one or not

[Trev]

I heard the same Billy, so all you would have to do is have some sort of voltage reg to slow them down for your second speed, Trev .

[EK JAY]

I think its something like 48 wipes per minute
not 100% sure on the amount i know its more
then the original wiper will do .
this is why i started to make these wiper's up
so you didnt have to muck around with all that
stuff billy you just bolt it in and its done 5 minute job
