Recently purchased my first A and it has some issues one is the wipers do not work. These may be aftermarket. Any wiring diagrams for electric wipers out there?

My 29 Tudor's original electric wiper has a thin brass strap that folds around the rubber mounting pads, to supply the ground. This brass is sometimes cracked or missing, and then the ground is lost. Other than that, all you need to do is add a power wire from any convenient power source. -
Thanks,that ground strap is missing. Now to add a ground and hopefully it will work.Comment

Here's a picture I just pulled off the internet, which was posted by Tom Endy, I think.

You can take one of the brass spark plug wire connectors and fashion the ground strap as pictured in Tom's post above.

I am in the process of putting electric wipers in my pickup. The only thing that I have had a problem with is in running the wires.
Any suggestions as to the best way to do that?03-03-2018, 03:10 AM -
I have read a number of posts on windshield wipers and realize everyone has a opinion but
I am considering going to electric wipers, looking at the nu-rex .
Anyone have the nu-rex or basically any other electric and are unhappy enough to go back to Vacuum wipers.
Thanks...03-09-2020, 12:04 PM -
Looking for someone that does repair work on original Model A electric wipers. Mine works well for the most part but there is some notchyness in the transmission. Most of the time it only swings the blade about halfway through its range of motion. Not entirely sure what model mine is, I think it's a Heinze HA-C2.
On the other hand, if someone has good instructions on getting the gearbox...06-19-2019, 11:45 AM -
I'm connecting up my 12v - gnd temp. guage and want to know if there is a 6v neg. power source that is controlld by the ignition switch. That way I don't have to worry about a power drain if I forget to turn off the electrical cutoff. I'm using an inverter that takes 6v neg. power and ups it to 12v for neg gnd. equipment. I hope I got this all correct. I consider myself to be electrically challen...05-04-2018, 03:12 PM -
How & where to install a ground strap on my 1931 Model A as I think it does not have one.02-01-2021, 10:02 PM -
Wimps need not apply. LOL
Actually there might be some usable parts on this. I bought a powerhouse generator once that looked almost as bad, and I was able to save everything except the broken brush holder, brushes, and rear cover.

The roadster has a thin piece of wire holding the wiper arm up. Vacuum motor, good looking housing, I assume original. I guess this might be something I piddle with soon. Do the wipers work ok when all is well, or just rainx the glass and go on? What is everyone doing?08-23-2018, 09:25 PM -
I have a mid-30 Murray Town Sedan. I cannot find the specifications for the Hinze electric wiper motor mounting screws and the grounding screw to windshield. Where can I look to identify these screws?07-23-2018, 02:51 PM -
I want to add a 12V power source that will be used only to power my Garmin and charger port for an iPhone. I would come right off of the 6V battery with a fused line to a 6V/12V converter, then to a multi port 12V accessory with a USB and "cigar lighter" port. Would this be a proper converter to use?
