I know this question was probaly asked a million times. The wipers on my 67 barracuda stopped working. I would like to test the 3 speed wiper motor to see if its bad or if its the switch. Anyone know how to test them ?

Just the facts, ma'am
Someone may be able to help, but it will be easier knowing what wiper motor and switch is on the car.
So far we have identified around 4 different motors used on '67, but none are three speed setups.

Wiper Motor Wires
The wiper switch...............It has two distinct clicks but then rotates quite a bit more after the second click, almost another 90 degrees. There s a 2771378 stamped on the side. I believe this is a variable wiper switch? That number is the variable 3 speed switch. Just to add a little more...

Look in the various service manuals, you can download them from MyMopar.com. some issues are different through the years and have more or less information. You may have to settle for Plymouth/ vs Dodse, as the site does not have both for all years

mmm ok interesting i didnt know that there was so many The motor on it looks to be the original. It looks like a 3 speed at least the ones im use to seeing. Ill have to take some pictures when my car comes back a front end alignment. The switch has 3 clicks. My dad had 2 67 GTXs and 1 had a 3 speed wiper motor & the other had a 2 speed. My looks like his 3 speed motor.

Looks 2 spd. I think 3spd has 1 more wire?

why does my 2 speed look like a 3 speed motor all the 3 speeds ive seen look like that is it a 67 A body only thing

Because 2 spd and 3 spds look the same in 67.

Can't help then.
It sure looks like a Leece-Neville

Never seen a 3 speed motor for a '67 A or B
Could the switch have been changed?

What's the #'s stamped on wiper body? I have 67 3spd in our 67 cuda. I'll get a pic after coffee.

ill have to look unless someone switched them im very sure that my dads one 67 gtx had a 68 and up 2 speed wiper motor in it when he bought it

it couldve been would a 3 speed switch work on a 2 speed motor

Here is our 67 3spd, it has 5 wires. Switch and motor have to match.

yea mine looks like it has 4 wires

Then it's 2 spd if it has 4 wires. @moparmat2000 KNOWS wiper motors and switches. Crank arm has to match switch and motor also.

I dunno what you guys are looking at.
We've only identified one white plastic switch plate motor so far.
Some call it a variable speed and some call it a two speed.
The yellow wire goes from the motor to the white cover plate. Underneath is a switch.
There's three wires connecting to the bulkhead and wiper switch on the dash.
On the switch.
B is power in. B/U power to back up light switch. These two are connected to each other all the time.
With switch off.
Park is connected to Power (B)
When the power is shut off, the blue wire keeps it running until the switch on the motor's gear opens.
With switch in low.
The motor's Armature and Field both get full power from the switch.
With switch in high
The motor's Armature gets full power and Field gets power through the resistor.
So if this is correct then the test for the motor is to provide 12 to 14 volt power to both the brown and red wires. Then disconnect them and provide power to the blue wire to return it to park.

Above my pay grade Matt lol. I've always heard/read that 67 actually has 3 similar looking motors, 2 of which are 3/vs and 1 is actually a 2spd.
Again, hearsay but 4 wires is 2spd and 5 for 3/VS. Ours is 3/vs and has 5 wires.

you know i was just thinking my wipers did work when i had the original gauge cluster in it I took out the original cluster & installed all new aftermarket gauges. I never put 2 & 2 together but thats when my wipers stopped working I wander if that has something to do with it not working. I also hooked my reverse lights up to a toggle switch

Just the facts, ma'am
IIRC you posted '67 two motors and switches over in the wiper motor thread.
Nothing hearsay there. Just crowd sourced info and what we have found in the books.

Your memory is better than mine Matt lol. I do remember posting in that thread.

That is a Leece Neville wiper motor. I hesitate to say these are junk, but they certainly are not easy to find parts for. My 67 had one, I tried to rebuild it. Parts availability sucked. I got a prestolite V speed motor and linkages with crank arm out of a 67 A body at my boneyard, and scored the V speed wiper switch here on fabo in the interior parts sale section.

Just the facts, ma'am
Do you remember how the power worked?
Am I correct that to test if the motor works both the Armature and Field need to be supplied with power?
(Grounding goes through the housing)

Damn dude, that was probably over 10 years ago since i rebuilt mine. I have slept since then lol
