the wiper motor is original but someone has hard wired it with a toggle switch. I wanna use the original dash mounted switch and knob and wondering where the HECK the cable hooks to the wiper motor?

My last '58 had the same motor and the same switch but I cannot figure out where to hook the cable on this one. The motor you showed is prior '58. Any other help please let me know Bill...thanks, steve | | | | | Joined: Jul 2001 Posts: 3,887 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Jul 2001 Posts: 3,887 | ahh, maybe this motor, with the electric switch, not cable operated ... why the PO had a toggle on it?

Thanks again for the help. Got the turn signal switch all wored up today. It even works...lol
That is the unit I have. I thought maybe it was still a cable operated motor but no way. I need the original switch like the one in your photo...you got one? or know where to get one?

Once I find one, you got the wiring diagram for the switch? thanks | | | | | Joined: Jul 2001 Posts: 3,887 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Jul 2001 Posts: 3,887 | no, I don't have onea that style motor or switch, those pics came from someone else here some time ago - I think the wiring should be shown in the 58 or 59 shope manuals .... I'd think 2 + pins, ON[slow] and fast .... I'd think [being at most a 2 year item, not all 58's had that style] it'll be hard to find an original
