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 )

Have you got the motor body earthed Billy? Can’t tell from the photos.

Yes motor is earthed

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.
Cheers

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.

HAPPY DAYS I had a sleep on it and rechecked the wireing I was supplying power to wrong teminal it parks now I new it had to be somthing simple. Electricion I am not!!!!! it's terrific when things come together.

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.
