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.
