Default Wiper resistor?

Just pulled my wiper motor apart and saw the resistor broken in
Half,I guess that's why the motor isn't working . Does anyone know
Where I can get one of these?also how do I get the motor to come out of park so I can get park switch and housing out so I can get to the other
Part of the resistor.thanks for any help you could give me Jim

The resister will burn up if the case is not grounded- more than likely that's why it's in half-so do check that before installing a new one.



Willcox has them-

Used one-

Could you tell me where the case is grounded ,at the mounts, if
So mine does not have that ground strap . Later in the day I found
More bare wires in the case around the park switch. Not having much
Luck finding anything. I think they want you to buy a new motor
Thanks Jim

Can't tell from your avatar-

But looks to be 68or 69-

The wire also grounds your blower motor and connects down at starter/bellhousing bolt

This pic is from fellow forum member "Alan 71" - my pics look no where as nice!!!

To install this resistor you need to take the bolts out of the park switch and lift it upward a bit. The resistor will come out.
