Finally fixed my wiper motor problem by ordering a vintage 1977 B van motor on Ebay
I took out the remanned motor and put this one in, plugged the connectors on and BINGO- low and high speed wipers work and return to neutral position when turned off! Awesome- should have done this a long time ago. Sadly, the mechanics I had work on it managed to break my instrument cluster circuit board so I lost my gauges for fuel level, oil pressure and engine temperature. Sad Day! Now I am looking at ordering a board on Ebay.
On the plus side, O'Reilly's stood behind their warranty and gave me full credit for the reman motor that failed. Van is going into winter storage now and will work on the interior including removing old carpet, new paint and new flooring. I will post updates as things develop! Thanks for checking in on this project.
