wiper motor question

Hi i have a cj5 1975 and i just burn the wiper motor (outside). I got one friend who gave me a wiper motor from a cj5 1976 (inside motor). And i read that both motor are different but when i look at them they seem exactly the same from the exterior...the only difference is the braket to fix it but i can use the one on my previous wiper motor.

So if there anyone know what difference they have and any reason i cant put the 76 wiper motor over my 1975 jeep cj5 ?

 

The bracket is the only difference. Take the bracket off the old motor and put it on the new motor.

 

allright happy the hear that timgr

 

is there any reason that i burn a new wiper motor...short circuit??

 

You burned up a new motor? I hope not. You may have connected it up wrong or if it was a "new" older motor the contacts inside the motor may have been bad. I have seen a motor try to park itself and keep running even though you turned off the switch. This will eventually burn up the motor and/or the contacts. In my opinion the contacts inside the motor are really poor. They were poor when brand new and worse when 40 years old. I sure hope it doesn't rain when I'm driving so I don't have to run my old motor very much.

 

i also burn a fuse when pi motor burn up

 

The motor could have shorted out internally. I just had that happen with a re-manufactured starter.

 

Just put new motor in yesterday, everything seem to work perfect
thank for the tip
