pokethesmot · 06-30-2009, 04:41 PM

mine are so dang slow..is there any mod i can do to speed them up at all like even on high they move so slow i cant see when it rains...i just got done waxing my windshield but is there any other ways

dammitmitchell · 06-30-2009, 06:46 PM

ummm... u should have MORE then one speed...
like "slow as hell" and "oh my god!"
check the motor and switch to make sure both are goodhigh possibility the motor is origional

pokethesmot · 06-30-2009, 07:00 PM

well i have amazingly slow and kinda slow lol

Scootin 81 C20 · 06-30-2009, 08:16 PM

Sounds like mine, except I have a 3rd speed. It's called "Kicks on when it wants to." My wipers will kick on on their own while I'm driving, sitting listening to the radio, or anytime when I have the key on. One thing that is funny about it, it makes my girlfriend laugh whenever they kick on.

Thanks
Benjamin.

pokethesmot · 06-30-2009, 08:41 PM

that could be why the previous owner of my truck installed a toggle switch that cuts all the power to the wipers

dammitmitchell · 06-30-2009, 08:50 PM

ha ha ha .. lame! check and sand your grounds.. that could be where to start...
and seeing how you are bored.. why not do it to ALL of them.. that'll keep u busy for a day at least..
and then.. well.. hope the wiper motor isnt bad..

Scootin 81 C20 · 06-30-2009, 08:54 PM

Talking to me?

dammitmitchell · 06-30-2009, 08:56 PM

well grounding issue yes.. job stuff.. was to pokes..

pokethesmot · 06-30-2009, 08:58 PM

ive sanded and taken cair of most the grounds in my truck i guess ile take care of the grounds that go to the windshield wiper motor

Scootin 81 C20 · 06-30-2009, 09:01 PM

Ah, I have an extra wiper motor off a truck with AC in case mines bad, but mine don't have AC, will it still work?

dammitmitchell · 06-30-2009, 09:05 PM

since me and you seem to have the same problem be shure to tell me if the new motor works

Scootin 81 C20 · 06-30-2009, 09:18 PM

I'll be sure to let you know if it solves it. I haven't had any problems lately, but I'm more worried about my trans not shifting like it should.

Thanks
Benjamin.

dammitmitchell · 06-30-2009, 09:28 PM

wait what the hell are you talking about? how does AC trannyshifting and all that have to do with washer motors?

im soo lost..
if your tranny is shifting like crap.. check the fluid...
the motors SHOULD be universal...
grounds need love too.. dont overlook them...
and im off to bed ive spent too much time here today...

Scootin 81 C20 · 06-30-2009, 09:39 PM

LMAO!!!
Sorry, I may have gotten a little off topic.
I probably haven't noticed my wipers lately because I have been listening to the pipes when it's time to shift. I've checked the fluid, added some, and it hasn't helped. I'll work on the wiper grounds tomorrow. I think I need a break.

Thanks
Benjamin.

Thanks
Benjamin.

3r!c84 · 06-30-2009, 10:40 PM

once they where moving so slow they got stuck all they way up,on the way to a car show and wouldnt go down lol i got there and try to push them down and no luck,i had to take the motor out and put it back in,havnt had it stop any more but its still slow

blazenlo95 · 06-30-2009, 11:13 PM

Mine are also VERY slow.

TexasJeff · 07-01-2009, 06:57 AM

Mine were the same replaced the motor assembly and they are working much better now, Napa and LMC sells the motor with the new washer pump for like $100 bucks, plus a core charge.

Justins76 · 07-06-2009, 11:13 PM

My hi speed seems like slow motion. The lo speed is useless on the freeway.
