Hey Thunderfoot...

Yeah, I will try that...
It probably won't be until this weekend. I am busy the next two evenings after work. Hopefully this will work...
I thought taking the one apart, might help to at least figure how the original set worked...
When I saw that small piece of copper bridging the power and park terminals... I felt like a break through had occured.

I try connecting everything up agian and see what she does...
Hopefully there won't be a big puff of smoke...
back in the day smoke testing something had a whole differant meaning for me :D

Thanks again,
Allan

Hey Guys...

Just a quick up date on the intermittent wiper project on Olde Skool.
I determined today that it ain't gonna happen...
At least not by using bump parts on that morphidite sucker...
If it had Ford truck wiper motors it would been done a long time ago.
But... no... it's got some kinda morphidite ones that no one can even identify... grrrr
I just gotta say publically... Thunderfoot has got the patience of a saint..
As a result, I learned how to repair the ones I have...
Which is cool, because they can't be found anywhere in the country... After reinstalling the repaired original switches, I now have two speed wipers on both sides... yes !!!

what about the replacement electric onces for early jeeps to swap them up from vaccuum controlled wipers?

I don't want to give em a heart-attack. That is what would happen if I answered the door in the buff. Heck it almost scares me to death when I step out of the shower and look in the mirror.~Mancar1~

hey RJ..

If I could get both wiper asssemblies out of the bus, I could probably make an adaptor plate to be able to use a regular Ford wiper motors...
Thunderfoot and I have been messin' with this for a month now...
At this point, I am just happy to have both sides workin at all..

Thanks for the idea..
