The original wiper motor has been replaced. The switch is dash mounted. The switch has three ports. Wiper motor, manifold, and one plugged off. Where can I get a replacement switch?

Well all i could come up with is this 69 LTD headlight switch. It has 3 vacuum ports on the end that would operate the headlight doors. I see these for sale for about 20.00, but you would also need the knob that operates this switch. The vacuum portion of it is separate from the electrical
This will work but it maybe a little bulky if you don't have the room behind the mounting panel.

Can someone fill me in on what we have? For our wiper assembly there is a thumb lever to work the wiper back & forth, but there is also a thumb switch. I found a toggle switch hidden under the dash that sends power to the thumb switch, but there must be something wrong with the wiper motor. Is this something that is rebuildable or does it just need replaced?? Thanks...06-04-2019, 10:23 PM -
Still one missing an element to the restored OD-C2 wiper motor on our '29 Coupe. The existing on/off switch is a minor piece of it's original self. I tried a few styles of after market switches, but they are configured wrong. I posted a photo from the internet, of one on the motor (circled), and what remains of mine. Anyone have an extra switch they are willing to sell, it would be greatly appreciated!...You do not have permission to view this gallery.

Mostly idle curiosity, but after reading Dennis from Mission Viejo's post about traveling across country in his Tudor, he mentioned that it was threatening rain where he/they were at. That got me to wondering about what might be a good electric wiper motor to replace the vacuum unit. Any thoughts??? I was wondering if there was anything out there that might somewhat resemble the original vacuum ...05-30-2021, 06:41 PM -
Unfortunately our '29 Coupe came without a windshield wiper motor. I did manage to purchase a collection of various Model A parts, and included was this wiper motor. From what little info I can find, this is a correct motor for the car. The car does presently have a wire ran up to the wiper location above the windshield. The inside of the motor (under the cover) is all intact, and spins freely. Wondering...You do not have permission to view this gallery.

The wiper motor has come off the car for service and updating. The paint was in bad shape so I decided to clean it up and start fresh. The motor is a replacement Trico vacuum motor for closed cars. Is the paint supposed to be high gloss or something else? I have managed to completely remove the old paint so I do have a great starting point for repainting.12-13-2019, 12:35 PM -
I am thinking I would like to have my truck as original as possible and thinking about going back to vacuum wipers. I can't tell for sure if this truck ever had the vacuum motor installed because the holes that are already there don't seem to line up with Trico wiper motor mounting holes. Also on the outside of the window frame there is no hole large enough for the vacuum hose and on the inside of...10-02-2018, 02:01 AM -
Plan on cleaning the wiper motor inside and lubricating it. What is a good lube for this? This is not mine but is the same that I have for my Slant 4 Door....02-07-2022, 05:30 PM -
I am asking if any of you have installed a toggle switch in your A and found a hidden but readily accessible spot.
I’ve installed a backup camera and need a switch to activate it. I refuse to drill the dash rail!
Thanks guys!11-21-2021, 07:01 PM -
Does anyone know of an ignition switch that works like a normal switch with a "start" position than will fit in the monkey face on a model A. If it matters, I'm asking about a '31. There's not much room back there and most newer style ignition switches are way to big to fit.12-08-2020, 06:46 PM -
Hello, I recently purchased all of the piping for my vacuum wiper motor....i have no idea how it goes together. My intake came with the plug in and and all the piping removed. Does anyone have a drawing of how to bend / assemble it? Or would anyone be willing to take and send pictures ? I have a 1930 deluxe coupe. Im pretty sure i understand how to get from the intake through the firewall but once...08-30-2019, 12:59 AM
