LMC electric wiper conversion. Help!!!!!!!

[Okbroncoman]

So, I got the wiper conversion all put on and
got a problem. Well, 2 problems

# 1 it won't turn off with the switch.
It keep going and going.

# 2 the passenger side won't park but the
drivers side works fine.

This &$@#% thing hates me.
What is the deal!!!!!
The best I can tell I have it wired right

Is the switch bad?

Thanks for any help you can give!
I have the power for it running from the washer switch power

Might try looking at the instructions from wildhoses theirs is a little better written out. Sorry guys at wildhorses not try to lift your instructions just trying to help him out. They all sell the same wiper set up wildhoses does have a synchronized switch if you want a Carling style or go thru my threads I did one on using a Cole Hesse switch if I ever get around to it I'm going to do a full write up on it. Here's the instructions from wildhoses.

Mine drove me crazy too. I took the wiper apart and figured out that they will run until they get into sync. One wiper will be at the top but the other is still swingin', it completes the circuit and sends the other swingin'. When they both get to the top at the same time it wil stop. That's one little note they should put in the instructions if you don't hook it up with seperate wires for each motor or are using a stock switch and CAN'T wire them seperate.

But why will the switch not stop them

 

[jim3326]

The 'Park' sequence is controled by the motors, if you have the motors wired together they need to be at the same swing at the same time, if not the contacts re-connect and it starts the 'parked' motor again.

Go back over all your wiring one more time then have a cold drink of choice a few choice words at it and it might work. Honestly double check your wiring look at the PDF I posted and make sure your motors are grounded good. To make sure mine and all the one I have done with the switch that sync's them that I did a post on I ground the motor at the windshield and than run a ground wire from both down to the switch. I have had issue with the windshield not providing a good ground. When I first did the swap I had the same switch you have and it did the same thing until I grounded the motors the way I did.

That's why I said look at the PDF your not supposed to wire them together I hope that's not the problem. Mine was grounding issues when I did it the first time.

 

[jim3326]

That's why I mentioned the 'Stock' switch, it doesn't allow for a seperate wiring of the motors. If you buck up for the sync. switch then its not an issue, cheap azz like me it is. I just let it swing until it stops, maybe 10 times tops, it was just confusing until I figured it out.

I will give it a try torrorrow after work.

Does the switch need to be grounded?

I didn't buy the synchronized switch, it was
not in the budget.
When I got the one from LMC if was cheaper
then the other houses.
But I used Wild Horses diagram.

Thanks for the help
I will keep you updated

The switch that shows the two seperate connections for each motor acts as a suedo-sync, it's actually 2 switches in one (DPST) and would be a cheap conversion.

So I never had the options for the synchronized switch when I bought my kit which as stated all use the same motors. My kit came from Tom's and they had a good wiring diagram as well just don't have it as a pdf. While I was in college taking a motors controls class I actually made a switch but it was not cost effective to make more than one, so I started looking for other switch's and found this one in the thread. Some have had issues with wiring it and that's why I guess I need to do a real write up on it because I have done it on a couple myself and fix it for others and it always seems to come down to the grounds.

So, I had a chance to work with it yesterday.
The wipers stopped but it took 8-10 passes, but
the passager side still didn't park.
It stopped in the center of the windshield and the
drivers side did park just fine.

I have the power to the switch running to the
ignition switch post on the back.

Do I need to adjust the passager side arm?

And will this be a constant problem?

 

[Okbroncoman]

I am ready to burn this thing

This will not be a constant problem, you need to take the passenger side arm off and move where its at. Be careful with this if you don't want the arm swinging up to high. Best way is take it off run the system when you shut it off and the drivers side has parked right put the other on where it should be then cycle it again and see what happens.
