Wiper motor bad 444-544 1963

My Wiper motor seems to be bad, could be the switch ?
Some wiper motors have some screwy wiring from the motor to switch.
Does anyone have the correct connections to test the motor?

Also my original switch had to be forced out of the dash because the retaining nut threads were stripped

I have tried various combinations with alligator clips to battery charger with no luck.

Also has anyone tried to convert to something cheap like maybe a VW Beetle or Super Beetle wiper motor ?

What year is the car ? is it 6 or 12 volt ? Does the shaft turn ? If not there is a post on how to replace the bushings with bearings.

A picture of the terminals on the motor and switch would be helpful in helping figure out the wiring.

Good luck.

I haven't yet figured out how to post pics on Brickboard.

Do pics have to be on an external pic hosting site like Flickr ?????

This is how I do it. Planetman gave me the instructions.

For your picture to be in your post message, go to the BrixPix section of Brickboard and upload the picture with a unique name so you can find it later.

Find your picture, right click on the picture to open just the image in another window. Copy that the web address and add the following code in the message.

example:
< img src="https://www.brickboard.com/GALLERY/images/13034.jpg">

For a different picture, just insert the web address in between the 2 quote marks.

For example:

your message - followed by the address of your picture in BrickPix

< img src="Put your pictures web address here">
