Forum;

I am currently refurbing a ("three gearbox"type) wiper system, and in studying the manuals, am almost amazed how many variations were installed over the production years...I am documenting the current work and adding info from memory, trying to compile info for a new tech/repair article (which hopefully will cover all variations). Please take a moment to look under your dash, copy the list of parameters, and fill in the blanks below:

Model:
vehicle:
year:
counrty of delivery:
LHR/RHD:
Motor manufacturer(Auto-Lite, Bosch, Electrolux, SWF):
Mechanism type (gearbox, cable-on-cam):
Washer type*:

* I believe all Amazon systems were two speed with washer option, but you're welcome to comment on variations...I have seen turn-the-knob-electrical-pump-type to mechanical pushbutton pump with a soft plastic bag reservior in the engine compartment (dealer installed variation maybe?)

TIA for your input!

My parts car.. though no parts have been removed yet by me.

Model: 122
vehicle: wagon

country of delivery: USA (assumed)
LHR/RHD: LHD
Motor manufacturer(Auto-Lite, Bosch, Electrolux, SWF): Electrolux

I'll see about checking my other cars... I rather doubt the 1800s have their original mechanisms, but I'll try to get details

My 67, 122 has no markings. It has a round cylinder motor housing and it appears to have a gear drive. The knob has three positions. Slow, fast, wash.
I hope this helps. I have another wiper setup, but it's buried under a bunch of crap right now.

The wiper switch has three positions, the wiper motor runs on two speeds (lo-1st position and hi-second position), and the third position is for the washer motor.
