Honda Wiper Motor Help

[Rob Gaskin]

Ian, I've done the Honda install on a 240 (as mentioned above).

The one you want is the one you've listed for the CRX

Thanks, Thats what I thought after some more searching, the Prelude one looks the same apart from that it would need the threaded part altered.

Every motor I looked at seemed to be of a different design.


This seems a stupid question, but it doesn't matter that it came from a left hand drive does it.

Mine being a late 260Z has the parking function and the intermittent function but I'm thinking the motor could still be stronger so probably still worth doing anyway while I am rebuilding the car and the wiring can't be much different. One thing that annoys me about the intermittent function on mine is that it wipes twice before the pause, which is too many as the screen is dry after the first wipe and then the motor is struggling dragging the blades over a dry window. Not sure if a new motor will change this but I am hoping it will, for me intermittent should just be a single wipe.

I don't think the handing of the car the motor came from should matter to be honest as it's the handing of the wiper linkage that determines the movement of the wipers. I know how you feel, there's so many different motors about, you just want to know you're getting the right one!

Yeah, big variation of motors out there. Lets hope it works out, will be a worthwhile upgrade despite me not intending on ever needing to use the wipers, its still worth having them working at their best if I do get caught out.
