Whats up with my deuce's wipers ?

[Bugoutwhistler]

My driver side air wiper motor works fine and the other dosen't. I have good air pressure to the passenger side and I thought the motor was bad so I got another one and it still does the same thing . Any ideas ?

 

[rronning84]

Mine does the same thing but opposite sides.

Are you sure the air is wide open? Mine does the same thing unless I keep opening the air until both flap.

I don't have that problem anymore. It was a great cheap investment for me to upgrade to electric wipers. Ill never look at those air actuators again...

 

[dblcamaros]

gungearz.........how much did the upgrade set you back? where did you get it from? How hard was it to install?

 

[Bugoutwhistler]

I turn the air wide open and somethimes the line blows off , and the other motor I got was tested and worked so ..... I would like to get the electric wipers but I have a few other things to do first and if i can get it to work I would like to do it

 

[gungearz]

I believe it was $175/$200 and I never have to worry about, if they work in the next storm. I believe I bought them on eBay and it came with all of the instructions and mounting hardware. N.O.S. Boxed. Took about 2 hours to install it. I'm sure there are threads on the site that talk about the conversion...

dblcomaros where are you located I am in pottstown PA

Pop the air lines off and lube the wipers with air tool oil. This is a maintenance item and needs to be done periodically.

MDSA is right. Open the valve until they both start swinging then you can back off some.

My wipers were shot so I replaced them with NOS air wipers. They work perfect.

 

[Bugoutwhistler]

thats about what I saw them go for

Some time the "park" button sticks. Hold the park button in on the motor that works and see it it pops the button out on the other motor. Don't know why it does, but it does on mine.

Yeah, yeah.....ooooh, I have electric!!!!!!

At least my air wipers will work after an EMP blast




LOL, I guess it is at least SOMETHING you did to that thing since you got it

 

[Heavysteven]

Yeah, the air wipers are a PITA that's a deuce fact. How far open can lift the windshield with those electric wipers.

The motors are actually quiet simple to take apart and clean.

I had the same problem with my wipers when I got my truck. I pulled the motor apart and found the wiper shaft was frozen in the housing. Some PB Blaster, patience, and elbow grease and it came free. I cleaned it well and greased it up and it has worked wonderfully since then.

Good luck.

I replaced the plastic ones with metal. No issues since. I also put a valve between the two motors so I can slow down the passenger motor.

the 24v electric jeep wiper kits are only about 50$ each, I used different wiper blades on mine and I reclocked the autopark so that both wipers face the center of truck when off.

I rebuilt the air wipers and they worked for a while then failed again. not worth it when the electric ones are so easy.

Metal case air wipers are great. A little air tool oil and no issues.
