jonas Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 i am planning to upgrade the wiper motor in my 84 wagon. it drives me nuts having weak wipers! has anyone done this before? i'm gonna scour the J/Y for a more powerfull motor. see if i can figure out an acceptable swap.

Uberoo Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 when you find one let me know.The wipers on my 84 brat are painfully slow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 The problem is not the motor, but rather the electrical supply to it. The motors are actually fine, you just need to get cleaner power to them. You can try cleaning the grounds, but I've not had a lot of luck that way. I think it's best to run new power to the main fuse panel. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4x4_Welder Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 Might be a good thing to do, the electrical system is pretty sub-par. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hooziewhatsit Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 I would also run a new ground to somewhere in the engine bay. Doing that got rid of my herky-jerky intermittent wipers on my 88 GL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
