79 spitfire. My wiper work, both speeds. However, when I turn them off, they don't auto park. To save me some time, and money, would anyone know if this is the switch, or the motor? Brad Richardson P

Probably the switch. Most likely the park circut isn't working. The more knowledgeable listers will probably be able to give you a more complete explaination. Ken Copeland 70 GT6+ KC78784 70 Spit FD

Its the switch - Its very expensive - Its a common problem - find a good used motor. The 'microswitch' was designed by lucas, and has a nylon pin to detect run/park. The nylon wears down so that the

I found this site which seems pretty extensive. http://www.vtr.org/maintain/wiper-motor/ I have a question myself about wipers that I hope someone can advise me on. Is it possible to a fit a twin spe

That's the easiest part to deal with, as all you need is a rather common Lucas switch such as used for "master lighting" (for home market cars, that usually meant one pull for lights and a second, fu

Could you not fit the later 1500 type switch, push in for wash, turn one click for slow and two clicks for fast ( did I say fast!! twin speed = dead slow and even slower:) -- Dave Gunter and TEX ('7

Yes, but how difficult do you want the installation to be? The easiest way would be to fit a GT6 Mk1 wiper motor, that looks outwardly identical, and would just be a straight swap on the same mountin

I think both Dave and Andy missed the point here. The park switch is mounted on the wiper motor wheel house assembly. It is NOT the one on the steering col. I haven't looked in the common catalogues

Can't comment one way or the other but in 1974 or thereabouts, I fitted a Mk 2 GT6 wiper motor to my Mk 3 Spitfire. Don't remember there being any prob with the rack or wheelboxes but it was a long

Thers a plastic switch onto the gear housing, you need to take this apart, and fiddle until it works. James

Yep, I fiddled with it, found the interior switches working, swapped the exterior switch, and my wipers now auto park. Brad 79 spitfire
