Does anybody know a manufacture for the brushes in a 2-speed wiper motor?
Also how do you bench test one?
Thanks
 
The service manuals have instructions for testing, wiper motors. Test varies with motor style and year. Sorry no help on brushes.
 
I know for a fact there is an article somewhere for bench testing both 2&3 speed assemblies, but I can't seem to find it.
Google it and maybe you will.
 
I did not think to look in the factory service manual, I will look at it.

Mine worked fine, nice and quiet, I painted the engine compartment, still have everything off the firewall so the wiper motor and linkage is easy to get at now, pain in the butt later.

Took the motor apart to clean and detail and one of the brushes was broke in half, and the other two were wore real bad.

It looks like Cardone is the only manufacture of a rebuilt wiper motor.
I am a little hesitant to buy the re-manufactured part because of how hard it is to change with everything assembled. I have this gut feeling that it wont last.

I guess I can just buy the re-manufactured one for $50 and keep my old one for parts, the core charge is only $5
 
Ace Hardware carries a few sizes of carbon brushes. You can often file them to fit. I fixed a hand drill that way. You can also buy on ebay.
 
I would not hesitate to buy anything from Cardone Industries in Phila. Every single part I have ever received from them preformed perfectly.
 
I ended up buying the re-man one, picked it up a week ago but it is sitting on my dining room table. The re-man does not have a resistor on just a ground strap.
What does the resistor do? I can pull my old one off if it is needed.
 
Ballest resistor is for your low speed...without it you only have high. Brushes are an unusual shape so they are kind off hard to find. Card one is the usual half azz rebuilder....they like others are not really rebuilders...they are more like fixers....find problem...fix it....everything else is fine. I would just use the brushes out of the car done in your motor but be careful...the brush landings break fairly easy.
