Wiring Original VW Wiper Motor

[bobby hinman]

How do you wire an original wiper motor for varible speed?

[jspbtown]

Well I have never seen a VW wiper be "variable" speeds. I have seen them be two speed and this is how you wire that:



There may be a kit out there for intermittent wipers...maybe JCWhitney?

You also have to have a wiper thats designed for two speeds to have them operate that way.

53 is fast

53B is slow

53A is the wiper park

Photobucket rules.......


Did you ever get your horn wired?

I gave up and put a push button under the dash. I had it all figured out and it would work consistently, until I buttoned it all up, then it wouldn't work. I tried it several times and got tired of taking it all apart over and over so I cheated.

That's gonna help me a lot. When I first built the buggy, I didn't think I needed wipers. I was never going to drive it in the rain. Guess what??? I have been caught in the rain more than once. It seems this club does not know how to schedule an event without rain. So before I trashed my donor bug, I scavanged the wiper motor. It's been seating on my work bench for about a year. At least now I can wire it and see if it is any good. Thanks

I've actually wondered if we should market the club as rain makers. You know, "your area having a drought? Call the Texas Manx Club, guaranteed results!"

the ground connection is actually a screw instead of a blade, took me a minute to figure that one out.

So the next buggy function is on Lake Travis?

[GregR]
