ROGUE TROOPER Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Is this the long "threaded" tube that goes from motor to wiper mechanisum to wiper mechanisum? If so then I think 90/110 are all the same, better still get a second hand one, but be sure its that that dont work..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtbarton Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 What's the difference in the wheelboxes? Is it just the shafts being splined rather than plain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonb Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 What's the difference in the wheelboxes? Is it just the shafts being splined rather than plain? Thought part number was different between series 3 and 90, may just be a supercession. 90 wheelboxes have a flat on the shaft and a splined "top hat", Can't remember what the shaft on series ones are like. IIRC, the angle of sweep is set by the gear set in the motor, dunno if that is different though, you would expect it to be bearing in mind the series has the central bar across the screen. Main part of motor is the same however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbarton Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 SIII shafts are round, the original blades were held in place by collets, the top-hats were sold seperately to allow splined arms to be fitted. The diameter of the wheels in the wheelbox will also affect the angle of sweep, larger diameter, less sweep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Is it snapped or just come undone from the motor end? I have had that happen before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevecharliedog Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Is it snapped or just come undone from the motor end?

Dark green 90 Posted March 7, 2007 Author Share Posted March 7, 2007 Series 3 cable came and fitted it tonight (trim to length,same as defender) after refitting motor i noticed i dont have an earth cable to the bulkhead Where on the motor does it attach? could this be the reason i have a 20 amp fuse instead of a 10 fitted? (10 blows straight away) thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want another one connect a ring terminal under 1 of the motor "can" securing screws and a wire to the bulkhead. Motor should draw about 5a under load so should be ok on 10a fuse, but if motor bearings are a bit "dry" or mechanism is tight it may be causing it to draw more current blowing the 10a fuse. Lack of, or a poor earth will reduce current draw not increase it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbarton Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Do you have a dual speed motor? If so is the high speed wire connected correctly? As Simon says you won't draw excessive current if the earth is missing, but you could if say the high speed wire was connected to earth in error.

High speed wire is green with blue stripe, normal speed is green with red sripe, park is brown green and perm +12v should be green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mention mechanism may be tight i see on the side of the motor there is a screw with a locking nut, would backing this out release it a bit?
