Wiring Electric Wipers

Here's some info I found on a google search. "The (+) and (-) are +12V and ground. The (S) is the switch. Hook up the + to 12 volts, the - to ground, and the (S) to one side of a switch. The other side of the switch goes to ground." I'd suggest checking things carefully before applying power. This is info from a search, not my own personal experience. I chose not to use the cheapies and went with the marine motors on both the CJ5 and the M715 and they wire up differently.

If you want to go with a better motor, use one from a marine (boat) supply. They have the motors that Jeep used in 67. Pricey, but you get what you pay for!!

Gee, Dan, I sure am glad you asked this question!!! I need to put my electrics back in, and I seem to forget how that went.... (making notes now....)

By the way, if you run separate motors for each wiper, you need to separate the power, also. Either with a switch or a diode. You surely have an intermediate w/s anyway, don't you?

 

Dan: I had the same problem a while ago with my orig upper ones. Ask question of the board and got it correctly diagnosed. They had not gone to full "park" position. Went out and "wiggled" them and they have worked fine ever since.

So, go "wiggle" them back and forth and see what happens.

 

I have a 71 put a two way toggle switch in three wires from the motor hi lo and third one went on the bat post I think it was the black one, when you turn them off they go to right side an stop.
