Wiper Motor Interchange
- Thread starter Duke5A
- Start date
Chrysler quit using the FMJ "mounting style" wiper motor in '93 when the pickups changed over to newer body style. No, wait, that was '02 when B-vans quit production. The '84 and up wiper motor is the smallest/lightest version, that is also a simple bolt-in, that I am aware of.

Is your old motor the delay with park type motor. Ive one new one that would go on a fancy car that has delay, ect. I ran the on one time and it came back odd.
Anyways if this will help you $20 plus shipping, I will never use it for my rigs and the next best thing is the trash.

Chrysler went to a new design wiper motor in '84, that looks like this:
There are quite a few different versions, but most will '84 and newer wiper motors will interchange.
If you get a motor from a parts store, you will need to transfer the mounting bracket/plate to new motor:
If you notice, the top picture has a external (but attached) electronic part on it (with a missing cover), where as the picture above does not - but both motors will interchange. The version just above has the electronic portion inside the cover.
The motor that @XfbodyX pictured is for an '76-83 FMJ (depending on 2 or 3-speed version and if delay wipers or not). It will require a new pigtail and re-wiring to fit.
With that said, I think I know someone looking for a wiper motor, just like the one you have, @XfbodyX.
I hadn't weighted them, but would bet a single US dollar the '84 (and newer) version is lighter than the older ('76-83) 2-speed, 2 speed with delay or 3-speed wiper motors are.

Before changing the motor try grounding it. I've never had motor problems but have had ground issues with them and that'll make them stop completely.
Yeah, I've got the 84 and newer style already. Was hoping there was something even smaller floating around mini starter that was introduced in 88.
The delay module on my motor melted and the motor shell itself is pretty beat up. Figured I'd go new and rebuild the linkage at the same time.
Thanks guys.
