Any wiper motor alternatives
#17
A few years ago I was in Germany visiting with a friend's family. My friend's 80 year old father was trying to get an ancient 8mm movie projector going with little success. While tinkering I heard him mutter under his breath "Scheisse"

Do any other wiper motors work in our cars? I need to replace the one in my race car so I don't really care about intermittent, or parking. Brand new 944 wiper motors are silly expensive and the old ones are a bit of a gamble.
Dodge Ram, toyota matrix and saab 9-3 look like possible candidates.

Some that look close from Audi/VW and sometimes on special for $40 or so. Might be worth a punt.

I took a gamble, and ordered one for a VW beetle, Jetta, Passat etc. Bolt pattern is the same, spline fits the wiper drive arm, so it' physically fits just fine.
Now I need the find a plug that fits, and figure out the wiring.
Anybody out there better at reading a schematic than I am? (even if I could find one, it's all Greek to me)
If we can find out how to wire these in, at $26 bucks a piece, these seem like a good alternative to $625 one on ebay.

No it's not.
Gear ratio is way different, contact plate in side is different, and I'm pretty sure the power output is way different, but yes, on the outside, it looks remarkably similar except for the **** on the end.
