Wiper Motor Question 66 Beaumont
Permalink  

Question....the wiper motor on my Beaumont seems quite slow (even on the high speed).  It there a quick fix to this...lubrication?? ...voltage?? I hate the thought of taking it out in the rain but I want to do some longer cruises next summer and you gotta be prepared. Thoughts??

Most likely the copper windings are carboned up. Get a new one, they still sell them, I believe the one for my '65 was @$52, lks exact like nos, if part store doesn't have one, ask for '67 camero should be same unit, catalog may ask two or three speed motor, you'll want a three speed unit to get the low/high speeds. Taking them apart is brutal, they don't come apart easy and you'll end up destroying it.

If you aren't able to solve it I think I have a good 2 speed from a 66 here. Can check if you are interested.

I was going to say, I wish I knew the stores you shop at!biggrin They usually want hundreds of dollars for a reconditioned unit, and you have to give them your old core as a trade in as well.

I've taken apart a few these (not to fix them, just to see what makes them tick, because they were toast), and I wouldn't want to attempt to fix one ... like fixing a watch!

I was looking at the costs for a refurbed unit and felt a little dizzy... ouch!! I will try lubing her all up here and see if it improves it. Jerel... I will keep you in mind if this doesn't solve the problem.

 Ya I know ... you would think that it is ONLY a windshield washer/wiper motor.no

 take off the cowl....remove clip from motor(don't lose that baby)...try moving the linkage by hand......if it is tight -pull the assembly out....4 bolts

juice up the 2 wiper arm transmissions in the inverted position ......I have a pic. if you need it.........Bob

Make double bloody sure the wires are hooked up properly in their right spots, when I hooked up my original one to the car I used my other car as a reference which was correct, for some unknown reason when I turned key to On position, holy nuclear meltdown, smoke billowing from wiper motor, not cool, not cool at all. So, since it was already melted on the inside, I "tried" taking motor apart, more disaster.

A couple of the washer/wiper motors I tore apart had some really solid, old grease inside them ... I think that's what eventually does them in. The only thing is, to freshen up that old grease it's very labour intensive ... like I said, like fixing a watch.

Thanks for the pics and pointers....so what you are saying is put down the big hammer...be patient and methodical or be prepared to drop $250.... I know where this is headed. I will let you know how I make out and in the meantime will start collecting bottles to pay for parts. Patience.....oh my....
