Air wiper motor to electric conversion
« on: December 04, 2024, 04:18:42 PM »
Hello all,

I continue to have air wiper problems.

Quick question.  What air to electric conversion kits are there available?

Thanks
Seb

I made my own conversion assembly with parts from Autotex; probably cost about $400 in total, with only minor aluminum fabrication needed (cutting some stock and drilling a few holes).  Got the wrong size wiper motor initially, but they swapped it out for a longer shafted one without issue.  That's on a 4104 though, so I wouldn't be shocked if a newer MCI is significantly more involved.

These are the ones we got years ago and work great with 2 speeds and just take out the old air ones and put the new ones in and hookup two wires for the 12 vDC done. The new switches fit in the same holes and are already wired to the motors. easy pezzy. :^
