goldeneye123454321 Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Hey, I was wondering if it is possible to upgrade the wiper motors. I had to drive some were the other night and it was poring cars and trucks and i could not see a damn thing even though the blades were on high. although it did not look like it. Anyways, i was wondering how fast the blades should move and if i can make it so there are more wiper blade speeds, so its just not slow and fast. Any ideas?

OldSlowReliable Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 if you haven't already, go get some rainex wiper fluid, i can drive in a full on pour now w/o having to use wipers, cause it beads up and rolls off, although the wipers make it EASIER to see, if they fail im aight Id imagine that this job would be rather difficult, considering if you find another vehicle's motor, and it fits, you still have an issue due to how much travel that motor uses, and then the power being supplied to it would still be the same as the previous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldSlowReliable Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 bosch icons are 26 dollars a piece here. Really? I went to autozone, picked up a 19 and 22" for 10.22 each.. I should stock up and sell them for a markup! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamzan Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Our pathy's take two 19 inch blades I believe. I'm pretty sure that I could put 21s on there though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Anyways, i was wondering how fast the blades should move and if i can make it so there are more wiper blade speeds, so its just not slow and fast. Any ideas? X10 on the rainex. Just don't apply it over stickers (alcohol based). The other thing you could do is buy an intermittent wiper switch assembly and motor out of another 95XE, sort of like the one in my driveway that I'm parting out...
