Any alternatives to the DSE wipermotor? - Page 2 - Lateral-g Forums

Had some fun last Saturday, and now I got me a "nicer than stock" looking wiper motor.

What I was after is something that would fit in the stock location and could be adapted to the original switch and wiring. The motor is a 2 speed no delay from a mid 80's S10. We had to do some internal mods to make the wiring work. It was setup with one side of the motor grounded and power fed from the switch. Since the Camaro puts power on all the time and uses the switch to ground, we had to cut a run inside the motor and bring it to power instead of ground. We also had to modify the park circuit inside the motor a bit. The motor is actusally turning backwards!

The drive pin on the motor was larger than the Camaro's, a lil file action on the Camaro's linkage took care of that.

Ends up like this:
Light blue (high speed) to pin 1
Black (low speed to pin 2 (low speed) and pin 3 (park)
Yellow (power) to pin 4

The motor works good. Low speed is considerably faster than the 1 speep every 3 seconds the stock motor could manage. I picked up a washer pump from autozone, will mount it to the bottle bracket and run it from the stock wire and switch.

Well, I took a different approach. I did not want to see the wiper motor at all, so I cut it out and moved it under the DS fender.

And done:

Also to do this you will have to lengthen the rod that connects to the wiper motor.

Has anybody had success with the Stielow arctikle and Jans wiring ?

I'm trying to figure this out too. Has anyone completed this conversion. What/where do you get the switch? Can anyone send me the wiring diagram so I can give it a try? Any help would be great.
Thanks

just buy the dse part and be done w/it. by time you hunt down everything to do, then re-engineer it to work, you'll have more than $300. (if you value your time) just my 2 cents.

In true Hot Rodding sense, go to the junk yard, buy the motor (late model Camaro) make a bracket and arm for you application. Now the tricky part, If you are using a late model colunm with the wiper on the stalk, you're almost done. If you need to make a switch for the dash, that's Kyle's secret.
The switch is the hard part.
The wiring diagram for the switch is on the wiper motor diagram. If you find a multiple position switch (seven I think) then get to attatching the correct resistors via the diagram.
I don't want Kyle to hate me, he is super cool, and we had a very helpful conversation late night at Columbus this year...

There is alot to figure out, which is why Kyle charges what he does.
But in the 'I want to do it my self' Hot Rod world, you can figure it out.
And with the internet, you can find help, and the diagrams and ask the right person for help. Don't give up. Hot Rodding is all about trying to make it your self. Spending countless hours on figuring out something is part of the fun, and there is a great deal of pride that goes along with saying "I did it my self".

Everyone is always bitch en about Garage built or shop built
How about 'I made it' vs 'I bought it'.

Jesse James says one of his greatest prides is when someone say 'who made that? or where did you buy that', and he says "I made it". Or as he commonly says 'Hand made'.

While I'm not advocating the idea of making a clone of the DSE set-up they will sell you their switch. The part number is 991206 and the price is $65.00.

Great information, I didn't know they would sell just the switch.

PM me if these photobucket pics are too small and i can email the bigger ones.

Ps member jannes_z-28 has made excellent wiring diagram to make it work

I agree. After reading all the articles on how to DIY, I'll be glad to give DSE my credit card number for this. They do the homework for you.
