Anyone tried a YJ wiper conversion?

So, how are you dealing with the wiper park switch stopping the wipers in front of your field of vision? That is why I went with the CJ stuff more than anything. I had a YJ motor laying around too, but the park switch on those won't stop the wipers until it gets in that park position which is right in front of your face. A CJ motor allows you to stop the wipers anywhere you want.

That extra wire is for the park switch. It provides power to the motor after the wiper switch is shut off to allow the motor to continue to move until it finds the park switch. Maybe if you cut that wire out, it would work like a CJ motor.
Also, the CJ wipers are two speed, so there is no difference between the CJ and YJ as far as more options.

The CJ wiper control switch is also much better to use for the flat dash of the M715, since it is used in the flat CJ dash. The YJ switch is the type that is on the little stick on the side of the steering wheel. I suppose you can use a three position toggle switch that would allow you to keep the two speeds.

I guess I may have answered my own question. I hope it works out for you.

No sweat, I'll probably have to wait a while for the cowl seal anyway.

Does anyone have pictures of the completed YJ wiper install? Randy, do you have any shots of the bracket that you welded?
Thanks,

I have seen in quadratec custom Yj wiper arms that are angled so when they park they sit in almost perfect horizontal position.

Not sure who ever invented vacuum run wipers, but my guess is he lived and worked in the desert! My truck is not a daily driver, so mine are disconnected and I move them by hand. That's my version of intermitent wipers.

I use RainX. I don't usually need wipers as long as I'm moving...

I'm still running vacuum wipers and I needed new wiper arms and blades to pass inspection. ANCO 41-01 arms and ANCO 31-12 blades are the only off-the-shelf new arms I could find that will fit. NAPA sells Trico and they have discontinued the older wiper arm part numbers that are referenced elsewhere on this site.

I had to scrape all the red paint off the motor mount hubs to get them to fit correctly. And, after looking at some of the pictures on this site, I noticed that I need to get a vacuum line "Y" OR "T" connector to put in my Vacuum line before my first wiper motor to feed the second wiper motor. My second wiper is currently fed off the driver's side front/left hose adapter and they work goofy in this configuration.

Just trying to help,

I have some detailed pics on my conversion to CJ7 wipers. I shortened new CJ7 wiper arms 2" to fit CJ7 11" wiper blades.

Bob, thanks for the pics. That kind of gives me an idea of what I will be dealing with on the YJ conversion.

actually, my name is Tim. you are welcome. I wanted to post some pics that showed how the motor is mounted. I don't know about YJ's but the wiper spacing on a CJ is 23" and an M715 is 22.5" I relocated the hole over by 1/2".
