I just installed an electric wiper motor on my '55 1st GMC. I got it from
Chevy Duty, and it appears to have been made by an outfit named New Port
Engineering.
The truck is 12v negative ground. The wiper motor is mounted and wired as the
instructions direct. When I put power to the switch the wipers run
continuously IF the linkage is connected to the wipers. Disconnect the
linkage and the motor will park, run low or high, based on the switch
setting.
But put either wiper linkage back in place, and it runs continuously. I've
got it grounded, so I don't think that could be the problem. And grounding
should not be affected by connecting the linkages, because there are nylon
bushings in place.
Anyone have any ideas? Anyone else have any experience with this kit?
I's sure appreciate any help anyone can offer!
