Savannah Dog Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 Hi After taking my wiper apart I found that it's missing the parking contact. This is a 4A. Does anyone have any idea of a place to find one? Or how you made one? Julian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ctc77965o Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 The original is just a copper spring, you could make one from some thin copper strip Middle right in this pic: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 Hi Julian, I assume you are referring to the copper springy things shown in Dave's pic above. You may need to investigate some auto-electricians to find a replacement or buy a scrap motor. The internal track on my motor was in a bad state when I got it; so I made a new one from Printed Circuit Board (PCB) etched to the correct shape. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AlanT Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 (edited) Come on Roger you should know that: I have all wiper spares and complete motors. Do you have the clip that holds the spring finger? https://flic.kr/p/k9LjuR Make sure that your 12V supply goes to terminal 2. If it gets swapped to terminal 1 the self-parker contact will melt https://flic.kr/p/k9N7C1 They cut the "slot" and used a contact with a key to try to stop this happening. Al.

RogerH Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 Hi Al, I knew somebody had something but my grey cell is biased to chassis problems today. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Savannah Dog Posted July 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 (edited) Ed, Yes I have the clip. How do I communicate with you? I'm here l'll also check the power contact. Edited July 27, 2014 by Savannah Dog Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RogerH Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 (edited) Hi Julian, if you want to edit a correction put your cursor in the edit box and click - bottom righthand corner of the text box. You change anything there. Then click save. If you want to contact somebody direct then click on their avatar (picture) and a new page will display 'send a message'. if you have the copper wiper and the copper track looks good then you have a 'simple' wiring fault or a serious problme (oops) problem with the wiper.

AlanT Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 I have sent a private message to "Savannah Dog". You will see a red-flag on the top right hand corner. Click it, and after a while and sometimes with a bit of fiddling, about you can read the message. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
