Default 68 wind shield wipe motor help

Restoring a 68 T-top and the wiper motor doesn't work. I cannot find any wiring diagrams and the previous owner looks like they may have redone some of the wiring. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Give idoxlr8 a PM, he just went through this in the last few weeks.

I believe he also used Dan at Wiper Works to do the resto of his wiper motor, and it came out beautifully.


But the wiper motor is a three wire unit and unique to our year vette. if your wiper only has two wires, they may have put a later model unit in there and jury rigged the wiring.

check that first.

then get the assembly manual for our year car, it shows all the unique 68 wiring schematics assuming its not been all spliced and cut up


let me know if I can help
