Reply Hiding the wiper motor--1st gen Camaro
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey guys,
I hate the looks of the wiper motor on the firewall! I just pulled the upper panel under the windshield off and took a long look. There has to be some cool way to nix the exterior firewall side mount.
Anybody done this?
I have a couple of thoughts right now.
1. cut, weld, modify, etc, a way to put the motor on the inside of the wall, shorten the thrust arm and weld in a recess for the motor and arm to clear.
2. create a dummy fixed mount bearing plate for the exiting arm to stay in place, then connect a heavy duty cable to the bearing place and relocate the motor somewhere else where it can operate the action via cable.
3. Two, install a pair of street rod/hot rod motors under each arm pivot, wire in series and let them each do their thing.
4. look the bone yard over for imports, etc, until I can find the most simple small unit to make it all happen.
p.s.--how can I set this forum board so that I get notification of a reply to a topic?

His email came back with an error.
I went ahead and messed around with this today.
I ended up fabricating a spacer to one of my corvette headlight conversion brackes and running a 97 firebird headlight motor. I took the speed control out of the stock camaro wiper motor assembly. It all fits nice and neat behind the cowl.
I doubt the headlight lift motor has the ability to last as long as a stock wiper motor, but considering this is not a daily driver, and is not expected to be out in the rain that often, it should work fine.
I will keep my eyes out for a 85 VW motor as well. That looked like a great fit too.

I am just finishing up a hidden wiper motor. It was easier than I thought it would be.
I bought a new ford unit from a surplus store. I welded in a bracket inside the cowl. I placed the new motor so that the shaft is in the same place but pointed the other way. The motor assembly came with a arm so I cut off the old one and welded on the new one facing the other way.
The wiring is a bit tricky. But with 2 relays and an IC chip I am able to keep my old switch with 2 speeds. I am lucky the motor had a shaft location contact. So I can turn off the wipers mid-wipe and they don't turn off untill they go all the way to the bottom.
If you give me your e-mail I can e-mail you some pics.

Hey guys.
I bought a wiper at Princess Auto, it was a surpluss item and ended up being a VW unit. I think it is a later unit because the pinout is a bit different.
Overkill, One problem I see with the wiring diagram you listed is that the park circuit has power even when the wiper switch is turned to high speed.
The park circuit should only get power when the switch is turned to the off position, that way when it is turned off it it is not in the park position it will park and that circuit will have no power once the switch is turned to low or high speed.
53A on the wiper motor should get power from the off position of the wiper switch.

Keith,
On the VW wiper motor that I am using, the park circuit is activated by power being disconnected. There is a small window (about 15* or so) in the rotation of the arm that when power is disconnected, the arm is allowed to stop. I set it up on a bench to test it out so that I could make sure that it worked before putting it in the car. When there is no resistence on the arm, the wiper will just keep running even when turned off. With a little pressure on the arm it will stop in the window where there is no power passed from the wiper through the relay. If you have the switch turned off and move the arm outside this window, the motor will turn on the relay and it will go a revolution until it is back inside the window.
The wiring circuit was designed by a guy called Radio Joe who used to post here a lot. The Original Thread

Hey Overkill.
That is the same way that my circuit works.
Here is the problem with the way that you have your diagram done.
As soon as you turn the wipers on the park relay will energize ans supply power to the low speed contact on the motor. If you put the wipers on high speed, once the motors comes off of park it will send power to the relay and energize the low speed also and then it will cut the power for a split second as it passes park.
The park circuit only needs power when the switch is turned to the off position. Turn your wiper switch on and listen to the park relay, it will click in and out every time the motor passes park. By running the coil of the relay through the off connection on the switch you eill eliminate that from happening.

Hey.
You only need to change one wire to fix your circuit.
The way your motor is wired the 53A terminal has power all the time. That is the park circuit, it only needs power when the wipers are turned off, if the wipers are not in the park location then the power supplied to 53A will energize the relay, supply power to the low speed and park the wipers.
To do this you need to take the constant power that goes to terminal 53A and wire it to the off terminal on your wiper switch.
The wiper switch in just a three position switch, think of the off as park which goes to 53A, the low speed to 53 and the high speed to 53B.

Ok, makes some since to me, but I'm a little confused on how to run power from the off position on the switch. The stock '69 Camaro wiper switch only has 3 terminals on the back. One for low speed, one for high speed and one for power from the fuse box.Are you suggesting that I need to find a different type of switch that will feed power to a terminal when it is in the off position?
Thanks.

Yes if you don't want to use another relay then you need a new switch.
If you don't mind adding another relay you could run the wire that feeds the power to the park terminal (sorry I don't have your diagram handy) through the normally closed circuit on another relay, this will allow the wiper to get power when the relay is not energized. Then wire the high and low speed to the coil and then to the motor, this will energize the coil when the wipers are on and open the circuit for the park.

No that won't work.
You only need to interupt the park circuit, and the relay coil needs to be fed by the high and low speed so that both speeds will kill power to the park circuit.

Check out Tom Short's '68 in the cars section. He just moved the wiper motor over, under the fender and made the arm a little bit longer. You can't see it and there isn't much engineering involved.

park is when you switch the wipers off in any position and the motor carries on till the wiper arms go the the bottom of the screen,for radio joe when you switch the wipers off the switch should have a feed to a contact that is live in the off position only the original 67 camaro switch this is not there.

Can you use a relay? hook it up so that when the switch is off, it sends and ignition controled 12 volts to the contact. When you turn the switch on, it turns the relay on, disconnecting the 12 volts from that contact.
If the 12 volts doesn't turn off when then switch is on, then just run a wire to the contact.
I'm sorry I seem so misinformed about this, but I haven't gotten this far in my conversion yet. When I figured out the wipers would fit, I got all excited and told everyone, then my daily driver broke down and I haven't been able to get back to it.
how did you mount them? did you rotate the motor so it would fit into the cowl without modifying it? I found on my 69 the cowl had a brace in the way, so i moved it to the drivers side about 2 or 3 inches. -JOE-

What exactly are we talking about here and what advantages does is hold over the stock setup that I've got now. My cars still in construction and at this point the firewall smoothing is beginning. I still have the opportunity to do something with it if its worth it. Thanks Kevin.

Hi if you go for this conversion the wiper is hidden from view on the inside of the fire wall so the hole can be blanked off I found that the ball of the VW motor fitted the connector of my 67 but had to be lengthened slightly and put a small dent but you might not have to dent as i had the original hole to seal up it just takes a bit of jiggery pockery but they do fit you will have eighter make a new mount or cut and weld to the original.

This piece has holes fabricated into it for the wiper mounting studs to "poke" through. Has anybody got any photos of this "hidden wiper" setup. Do you have to cut holes and fabricate metal to make this conversion happen?

Okey dokey if you remove the cowl vent grill on a 67 you will see where the wiper connecting arms move back and forth connected to the wiper motor,the VW motor is small enough to fit on the other side of the panel i.e inside not out in the engine bay as normal, called maybe a fire wall or bulk head ie the panel that the master brake bolts to, if you have a fax mc i will fax you a drawing if you want ?

Is the VW motor a positive ground unit like the original Camaro unit or is it negative ground? This is very important because a positive ground unit must be isolated to function properly.
Exactly what year VW is this motor from and how big is it? I have been searching for a way to move my wipers also. I have found two places on the passenger side to mount the original. One requires the heater to be removed which mine is and the other will eliminate the glove box, or both. The VW unit sounds more compact, is it?
Hope to talk more about this soon.

Z51Cormaro, By positive ground I assume you are refering to a negative trigger, like the dome light in your car, when the door is opened the door switch completes the ground circuit and brings the light on.
Most things are turned on or off by switching the positive lead, if you switch the negative it is refered to as a negative trigger.

We could be talking about the same thing only with different words but just in case I will explain what I know about the GM wiper setup.
When you hit the wiper switch it completes the circuit with the ground ,the power is already at the motor ready to go. This is only at the park position that this occurs. When the motor revolves it leaves this point and goes to the contact inside the cover that is a circle with a blank spot for park. When the contact is made at this point the motor will continue with the switch off. This is because the current is going thru the wiper case to the chassis with the foil contact at one of the grommets. If you make a connection from the case to a part of the chassis while it is running you will get sparks. I believe this is why everything is isolated from the the chassis with those three grommets and one of them has a foil tab to the chassis.If you have ever bumped a wiper motor far enough it will take right off on its own. The park position is the only thing that breaks the circuit which is supplied all of the time.
So no matter how it is said the thing I was asking about is : Is the power supplied to the motor all of the time or is it totally off until turned on by the switch at all times ,not just in park? This important as to how it is wired .
Negative trigger is what I believe we are talking about in referring to the GM system.

Hi the vw is negative earth and the year is 85+ the wiring of the original switch off the jetta or rabbit is when the switch is in the off position there is a connection to the motor from the switch which is live only in the off possition which sends the wiper into the park position, on the GM switch that i have got i do not have this connection so when i switch off it stops. As i do not intended to use it much in the wet is it worth the hassle? also i'm fitting the washer bottle in the trunk paul

I went to Pep Boys last night and taught the guy behind the counter how to search for custom parts like hidden wipers for a Camaro. After his initial bout of acting like he didn't know how, we proceeded with his education.
Pulling every box that was small from the shelf we found a 4 wire set up like the one you are describing.It weighs 3lbs and would fit very easily where you are installing yours. It doesn't have a connector like all of the others had, just 4 wires about 6in. long just waiting for a GM weartherpack connector. The dimensions are 7 1/4" long by 3 1/4" in diameter. The nose sticks out from the 3 point mount about 3/4".
Of all things it comes out of a 81-90 ford escort.These units are more available and less costly I believe. They wanted $74 after tax but a person could find tons of them on the side of the road. I bet we could find a whole escort for $50. Anyway Pep Boys Always stocks them so if you are putting in non stock parts on your car it is best to make sure of the price and availability too.
I am not in the same situation as the rest of you for I have given up the space for an engine. I am however able to move it to the passenger side in the glove box erea. The escort unit will fit all of the way to the right of the glove box now because of its size, this would not be the case if I had a 68 or 9 with astro ventilation.
I do like the fact that the escort motor weighs 3lbs to the stock one at 5lbs.
As far as the switch goes have you thought of putting in an aftermarket wiper delay switch? They are somewhat universal to wire by giving you multiple connections for different setups and come in either slide or dial type . J.C. Whitney has several that are priced reasonable and appear to be able to be modified to mount any way you want if you aren't afraid to disassemble it and add wire. A guy at work looked at a lot of autoparts stores and coundn't find any, so the Whitney idea is where we found what we were looking for.
One last note about the wiper delays is that some start the wipers immediately when you turn on the switch and some go through the time that is set on the delay itself before starting. Makes a difference when you really do need the wipers right when you hit the switch. I use Rain-X so the only thing I need wipers for is fog and the law.
The guy at Pep Boys now feels more confident and was surprised at how much he really knew if he just thought about what he does everyday.
Will talk more about this later, BY

Paul67,
Ok I might have a way to hook up the vw motor with your existing switch(camaro). as I understand it, the problem you are having is that the switch should supply 12 volts to the motor when on, and supply 12 to the park circuit when the switch is off-correct?
If that is correct, try this. wire a relay with its normally closed contacts by connecting one contact to 12 volt ignition and the other contact to the "park" circuit. on the same relay wire the coil with one lead going to ground and the other going to the wire witch is powered when you turn the wipers on. wire the switch to the wiper circuit as you normally would.
If this circuit functions correctly, the park circuit will recieve 12 volts anytime the ignition is on. when you turn the wipers on, the switch will energize both your wiper motor and the relay you wired in. when the relay is energized, it will disconnect the 12 volt ignition from the park circuit. when the wipers are turned off, the relay will un-energize and re-apply 12 volts ignition to the park circuit, causing the wipers to park. I haven't looked at the schematic for the vw, so I'm going off of what you said above. I will try and draw a schematic for the circuit I just described, and you can let me know if you think it will work.

I am working on your wiring problem right now and will have a diagram to you by morning. I am assuming you are using the original wiper switch from the camaro?

1969 Firebird may be receiving the same type of treatment. You mentioned an Escort wiper motor might be better? My e-mail is
[email protected] if you wouldn't mind send a few pics of the firewall and wiper motor install. It might be easier for you to set up a photo album with yahoo and then leave the address for everybody to see. Its free and easy..i did it for my post in the "New Cars" forum for some construction pics of my car. Thanks for the interesting thread.

Reply 2000 Caddy wiper motor?

You may have read about this option already and unfortunately it appears that the mounting is in the stock location but it sounds like a pretty go setup. Especially since the Tuckers are going to offer a bolt on kit which will offer intermittent and multiple speed wipers. An especially attractive option to those of us living in the aridly challenged northern amazon rain forest I call Florida.

I emailed Radio Joe and got the wiring diagram for the circuit to connect the VW wiper motor to the '69 Camaro wiper switch. I added the picture to the page on my site.

I hope one of these is the one, anyway, since I couldn't find a better one.
