I'm in the process of trying to get the 72 charger ready for the street. (finally )
I bought a used 3 speed wiper motor off a memeber here little over a year ago as best I can recall. Finally getting it hooked up. To my surprise when I plugged it in it actually worked. I really thought the wiring might have been cut or removed as this was a race only car for a while (previous owners).
Now, when the wiper linkage was disconnected everything looked and sound normal with the way the motor was running.
Now, with the linkage hooked up and wiper blades on the slowest speed seems to work OK, the second sped the blades move a couple inches then stop (unless I move them by hand then they do it again) and on the highest speed nothing moves at all.
Also, sometimes when I shut them off they don't park like they should.
I'm thinking the motor may need to go to Jule's but wanted to hear your thoughts.

If it has fire uninterrupted in all of the wires to the motor & it is grounded well I'd think it would be the motor especially the not parking part since when you shut off the switch the motor is still energized via another wire & rotates a bit more then another circuit inside the motor breaks contact to stop it after it's parked. I would wait for Jules tho

Good thing I bought the maunals ( I'm assuming it should be them same as the 71 which is the maunal I have )
How can I tell if it's a three speed linkage?
As with the switch, it was in the car when I got it but as we all know that doesn't automatically make it right.
May take me a bit to get the time to get out there and go through all the testing though.
