Electric Wiper Switch

[Airfireman]

Next Question  ??? ??? ???

My FC has an electric wiper motor fitted and a toggle switch cable tied to the steering column to activate.

I still have the original vacuum wiper switch installed and would like to know what electric switch I can use but still keep the original wiper knob??

Is it an option to refit the vacuum wiper motor??????????????????

Thanks

There is a  Preslite accessory wiper motor that uses the original Vacuum cable wiper switch but these are hard to find



Otherwise an EK electric wiper motor switch will take the original knob as will a few others

I assume EK electric motor?
Any electric switch from EK to HR will make it work as all these rely on earth through the body to function and will fit the original knob.
Of course you can fit an original wiper motor. It's just a matter of cleaning and recoing the unit if it is faulty.

There is a post on here Brett-f commodore wiper conversion I think it was that uses a aftermarket switch that works well.

Here is a pic of the Delco wiper motor, so it is Holden



If it is EK is the wiper 2 speed or just single speed????, its only got an off/on toggle switch fitted

Thanks

it will be single speed check out brett's thread if you want 2 speed very easily done.

Yes, single speed EK motor.
I have a 2 speed conversion kit as per Brett's ready to go if that suits your needs.

You could have just asked me . Haydn

Yes, but posting on the forum means all can read the questions and answers and everyone learns a little more.
Keeps the general chat going which is also good for the forum. ;D

Tim, I can highly recommend Ken's conversions, got one of his in my wagon and been trouble free for many many years.

Hi Ken, I am interested in the 2 speed conversion, can you give me details?, Thanks Fraze

It's basically as you see it in Brett's thread, it's a Commodore wiper motor with new switch
You need a complete EK wiper motor. I need the base and the 2 small arms off the back.
It comes all wired up tested & ready to go with comprehensive instructions.
Price is $125 plus postage.
