My 1970 Fury III Convertible has a Chrysler 2-Speed windshield wiper motor. When I turn the wiper switch off, the motor returns the wipers to lowest position in their wiping arc, but does not park them. According to the 1970 FSM, it is supposed to have a park cam that moves the wiper arms to the concealed position when the switch is turned off. Since the wipers return, but don't fully park, I believe the cam mechanism is broken. NAPA, Rock Auto,and Autozone do not list any wiper motor for 70 Fury. Advance lists a Cardone unit, but it looks like a 3-speed that isn’t the right 3 speed. Ebay has 2-speed motors, Cardone 40-350, for Valiant,Belvidere, and Satellite models. These motors are like mine and leave the wiper arms in the lowest positon of the wipe pattern. I could not find any 2-speed Fury wiper motors on ebay.
I also have a Chrysler 3-Speed wiper motor and 3 speed switch. The mount and engine compartment wiring are the same. However, on dash wiring, FSM, page 8-89 states, “3-speed motors have a high speed resistor mtd on the switch and a resistance wire in the harness for medium speed.” 3-speed dash wiring and switches are different.
The two windshield wiper motors are pictured. The 2-speed is smaller and has a ballast type resistor. The 3-speed mounts the same but is larger because of the cylindrical extension to the left.
My Questions
If I mount the 3-speed motor, how would the motor work with the 2-speed dash wiring and the 2 speed switch? Could I just have high and low with no medium speed?
Another option is to have my 2-speed rebuilt and the parking cam repaired. Can anyone recommend a rebuilder?
Another thought is to alter the dash wiring to accommodate the 3 speed switch. What is involved?
Of course, I'm willing to apply other tests, so all advice is appreciated.:sSig_thanks:
