First I have to give thanks to das54 for his album pics for installing a electric wiper motor in place of the original vacuum wiper.

I hit the local Pic a Part yard and first picked up a 2 speed wiper out of a 92 Cherokee.



I used his pics and measurements to make up the mounting plate to mount the wiper.



I then went back and found a basic wiper switch that did not have an intermittent position out of a 88 F150....that took some doing.



The big problem was matching up Ford switch wiring to the Jeep wiper motor wiring. Thank god for the internet!



I also had to weld the old and new motor arms together once I had everything in the right position



It works like a champ! Got some cleaning up to do and maybe a little tweaking of the park position, but the hard part is done. Total out of pocket cost less than $30.

 

Nice job!

Thanks for the detailed pics

very cool, has anyone tried this on a 51-52?

 

Nice job! This post came along at the perfect time. I'm doing this same replacement this weekend. Thanks for posting detailed pics.

 

Im confused......... why did you go with a non intermittent switch?

 

Here is the link to das54 that i used.

Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums - das54's Album: Electric wiper motor

 

I was wondering why also.

 

Personal preference.

 

So the wipers are only one speed?

Maybe I am just confused, I have an 88 F150 that I just sourced everything from, and the wipers on it had varying speeds......

 

Nope... two speed....low and hi....with park. It took me a while but I found one that didnt have intermittent position.

 

Are they easier to install?

Less to go wrong down the road?

Was there a part number on the switch??

 

Yea you dont have to wire up the delay module. But that wasnt why i didnt use one.
Will check to see if I can find a number on it...but the auto zone part number is SW1113 and It is $19.99...I got it from salvage yard for $6 with the plug and wires.

 

I was just hoping your reason wasn't because of some problem that I hadn't thought about because I want to use them...

Around here intermittent wipers are nice to have. We get light rain often or right after a hard rain and cars going by the other way spray mist on the windshield. In those conditions I like the intermittent.

 

I like intermittent because it gives you (usually) an option for a single wipe.

Dave, I don't see any hope of that fitting under a BonusBuilt dash.

 

Mid fifty has an adapter for the switch so you can use original bezel and ****
