variable speed wiper ( and some extra stuff )

[Nacho-RT74]

Hi, I'm really interested on get variable speed wiper motor and switch very usefull down here in the tropic where rains acts funny . On my 74 Mopar parts catalog diagram section makes reference about they exist but on Text section ( where PN is stated ) doesn't make any mention so my questions are:

On Variable speed againts 3 speeds where is the diference ? motor and switch or just switch ? The cluster I got long time ago was from 71 and wiper switch came with it. I guess is avariable switch that does have 3 positions: OFF... THEN CONTINUOUS TRACK, similar to dimmer function  WHAT I THINK IS THE VARIABLE SPEED, and at the end another click what I guess is MAX SPEED. I'm searching 72/74 assembly since 71 uses diferent prongs/plug setup, and is bigger. Prongs quantity and wires are the same, but plug doesn't match.

Another question ( this one just to 3rd gens owners )

2 speeds assembly incorporates a parking cam assembly that makes wipers hide under the hood... everthing is perfect untill that. However 3 &/or variable speed doesn't ilustrate this parking cam kit on assembly and this topic has been touched several times making reference about cranks and link are different between them... so I would love to know from you 3rd gen with 3 speeds ( or variable ) owners HOW DOES WORKS your wipers when you turn them on ? they start to work then makes the track JUST ON GLASS and when you start off they hide down teh hood ? or they do the complete track everytime from under the hood up to top of glass trace ? that is REALLY A MISTERY to me how they hide and get out from hood without the parking cam stuff.

I would like to know to, nacho. I've got a 71 se, and mine will not park either, what needs to be done to get them to park into the hideaway position?

I know how 2 speeds does park hideaway and works, but no idea how 3 or variable speeds without the parking cam stuff

[davidlclassic]

I think the cam in mine is broken, but I have no ideal where to go for parts.

[Nacho-RT74]

they are still available on Mopar dealers, Year One and Bradsnosparts.com

is your one 2 speeds ?

check the link I posted... there are several links more throught that one and will get the complete info. Theorically I "craked the code" lol

[davidlclassic]

Mines a two speed, and they won't park, they work good just will not park in the hideaway position.

Did they park ind the past and now then nevermore ?... it does look there was to kind of assemblies... one with parking cam stuff and another without it ( pics posted by 400/6/PAC on first link I posted earlier )

I'm making a really deep investigation about the VARIABLE speed kind... oftenly I start to think is my imagination... but Catalog states:



AND I DO HAVE what apparently is a "variable speed switch", but is 71. Prongs doesn't match with plug even wires are the same on electric diagrams

[davidlclassic]

Mine is a 2 speed, and I can see by the diagram you sent that I am missing several parts, you say I can order them through a dodge dealer parts department? Thanks for the help, you've done alot of work on the wiper problem Nacho.

Yes mine did park when I first got the car, but got worse as time went along.

[davidlclassic]

I have to admit that have been LOT TIRESOME  on board with four specific topics ( maybe someone more around too LOL ):
seatbelts ( specially about 74 setup, and learnt about earliers )
sway bar ( 71/72 and 73/74 )
74 Interlock system
and wiper stuff

but If I'm not tiresome then never have gotten the info  and was able to help
