Default Willcox Combined Video Thread!

Hi Everyone. I have a hard time keeping track of the videos and when I need one I have to go searching for them. So I thought I’d start a thread of all the videos that have been made public so far. I will add to these very soon since I’ve been working on three other projects. They are broken down by generation.

In the next few days I'll add links below to discussions on this forum that are related to these videos. A good case to this would be the DZRick post on the 68 wiper motors. There is just so much good info there I'd hate to see it lost in the trees.


Suggestions for new videos would be great too!

I don't think it can be a sticky... It will help me keep track of it though.

There are so often questions about wiper motors and this thread will make it easier to get to your help.

Can the mods make this a sticky? This is great stuff when I'm going to need it.

Guys.. The mods can't make it a sticky because I'm not the Section sponsor.

It would be an infringement on the rights of the vendors that spent extra money to sponsor a section. I fully understand this stance and agree.

I appreciate the kind words and just look for more to be added to this thread soon.

(And check out the two day special sale)

Great videos, but one question. I have a '77 with a fuel light that stay on all the time, but I don't know where to find the module in your test vid. It's not behind the center gauge cluster where the light is. Where to look?

In many cases when you have a car without the module.. people will stick a bulb and socket in the hole. The printed circuit board supplies power and ground to that socket hole and without the module it will stay on all the time.

Just remove the bulb from the socket that is in there...

I'll have reproduction modules in a few months... it's one of our projects we are working on at the moment.

Thanks, that makes sense. I'll be on the lookout for the replacement part.

The modules should be ready in three weeks... I hope.. the socket is the issue and today we overcame this....

I couldn't be more pleased either.. since we are out of the cores!

Love the videos. Watching a them speaks a million more words than following printed instructions. I would like to see one adjusting a door window with new weatherstripping. I'm very close on mine with the help of the AIM and forum discussions but not satisfied it is as good as it can be.
Thanks for all of the hard work to produce these. I know it is a chore.
-Rick

Thanks for the great customer service too!

Thank You! I think we have a door regulator job coming in next week.. maybe that one would be a good one to video. Plus the adjustment of the door glass after the fact. I'm not sure if we'll have time though, that will depend on how fast the customer needs the car back.

video moved to the top post.
