Re: Wipers don't park

And there are 2 configurations of where the brass tabs are inserted in the male-end of the plug.
I took a photo of the two configurations but can't find it right now....

Re: Wipers don't park

That new section in Resources for the Wiper Test is great!

There are a couple of other pages in section 35-60 that are useful - but of course it's not practical to include everything (otherwise you might as well copy the entire Service Manual).

You may want to include page 9 of the manual which has a lot of detail on "operation tests" - but you did such a good job on your write up and diagrams, maybe that isn't needed.

I'm uploading you a scan of the page for your review/consideration. Wiper_Motor_Testing_35-60-9.jpg

well, it doesn't scan/show so nice. It's had to get a good scan too - without messing up the binding of the manual.

Ron - What tabs are you talking about?

Mike - Thanks. I'll scan that page and put it in as a PDF, which works better than jpg's. I hope I can get a good one.

Ron - That is interesting. But, are those the plugs for the governor?

Here's what I find in the catalog. And that seems to say that there was only one intermittent switch for 80-86, but two different governors. So, how can that be? I wouldn't think the later governor would be compatible with the early switch if the pins were moved.

Did we have this conversation in another life? Do you have a link to it? I'd sure like to document it on that wiper page, once and for all.

Re: Wipers don't park

A different conversation? I don't think so But Ill look, I believe I found this because the wipers were not acting correctly, plugged in the "other" configuration and all has been good for a year.....and these are both interval....

See what you think now. Couldn't put Page 9 and 11 on w/o 10.

But, when I scanned them my program saved the three pages as separate files, so I posted them as three separate pages. However, I can glue them together into one in my pdf program if you think that would be better.

Let me know, guys.

Re: Wipers don't park

That troubleshooting page looks great.

I just completed the repair on my wipers. Turned out to be a bad connection (the blk/pk wire) at the motor connector.

All I needed to troubleshoot was the one paragraph on your "Troubleshooting Your Wipers>F-Series and Bronco Interval Wipers" page, and a little free time. I didn't need to read any of the Service Manual stuff I convinced you to add. But as a Resource for others, its a good thing.

Glad you got it fixed.

And, glad the page looks good. Any opinion on having three separate pages vs one that you scroll through?

Seperate is fine. Looks good as is.
