Possible wiper switch crossove




Would anyone know if the above NOS switch could work for a single speed motor? Our early 66 has a single speed motor with 3 wire harness. The PO left the switch case mounted in the dash to hold the ****, taped off all wires except for mounting the black on a toggle switch. The motor runs with no park. The C4DZ-17A553-B was for a 64-65 Comet single speed wiper motor. The plastic pieces from the original switch have 5 poles .

If it will mount in the dash it will work. You will need to figure out the pin out with a OHM meter and wire it accordingly.

Here is a thread with part numbers and some alternate solutions. Somebody tagged on to an old thread which makes the thread hard to follow, but if you read it all you will have what you need. There are some single speed switches on e-bay, if you don't want to change everything to a two speed motor. But get ready to get your wallet out for a single speed switch. 66 wiper switch - where to find - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums (ford-trucks.com)

Thus Sayeth The Dummy:


(sigh) Since the numbers suffix is missing, how can you say that?

There are FIVE different C3TB-17A553 ID ENGINEERING numbers:

C3TB-17A553-A .. C3TB-17A553-B .. C3TB-17A553-E .. C3TB-17A553-F.. C3TB-17A553-G

These ID ENGINEERING numbers cross reference to THREE different wiper switch part numbers.

Marked with ID engineering number: C3TB-17A553-G = Ford part number: C3TZ-17A553-G .. Single Speed Wiper Switch-5 terminals (Motorcraft SW-722) / Obsolete

Applications: 1963/66 F100/600 & N600 / No Ford Dealer or obsolete parts vendor has any.

A year or so ago, FTE member 65GH needed one of these switches. Just like today, no one had any

After some research, it was determined that C3UZ-17A553-C (1963/66 Econoline single speed-5 terminals/marked C3UB-17A553-C) will work in place of C3TZ-17A553-G.

1964 F100 Wiper Switch

Does anyone know where I can obtain a SW-722=C3UZ-17A553-G, or SW-723=C3UZ-17A553-C, Ford single speed wiper switch, for a 1964 F100?

Your best bet is EBay. Chad - TA455HO - in a recent thread did point out some other part numbers this same switch may have earlier/previously been packaged and sold under. Pay attention to post #6 in this thread:
