m35a3 wipers in m35a2

[rednckii]

Just got a set of electronic wipers off of a m35a3 and was wondering if anyone else has done this. Ive searched the threads and found a few people that did a electronic conversion but want to know who has done the a3 conversion. Was out looking at it earlier and seems like the wiper arm on motor might hit the windshield center post. Was wondering how you mounted it and where did you plug i the power for it. If im wrong and it is just a bolt on let me know. Really would like some pics makes it easier for me to follow. If not i will figure it out then post pics thanks for any input.

Hello fellow Bee. I picked up a used set off of a M35A3 and then later found 2 kits new in the box.
I am going to try to mount one of them on my M35A2 next weekend. I will let you know how it works out and try to get some photos.

I did the A3 wipers on my deuce and it was easy. If you have a hard top it's a little harder but not too bad.

Camoyj7 did it mount flush up to the frame or did you space it. Also where did you plug in for power. Mine is flush on top with the one brace tight to frame looks like I need to drill two holes on top. Am I right in think in this thanks. 820jeep thanks for the help either way one of us will get there really want this install to go good.

I did mine awhile ago but i do remember that I did drill a couple of holes to bolt it in. If you have a hard top like me I had to cut some of the seal on the top of the windshield to clear the cover. For power I found a wire that wasn't being used behind the dash. It wasn't that hard to put in once you line up all of the parts and drill a few holes.

Sounds good maybe do tomorrow if not raining and wife lets me. I have soft top I put on earlier in the week my hardtop was rusted out only the back corner lips were left holding it on. Thanks for the info will see what I can come up with, did you have any clearance issues or was it good to go.

It fit realy well. It's one of the best things i did to my deuce.

Where can i find the M35a3 wipers and all hardware to conversion? How much is it cost?

Thanks in advanced

Well just got the wipers put in was a slight drizzle of rain only got heavy when i took top off to drill holes figures. Uses self tappers for the top and the one on window center brace worked great. Drilled a hole to drop the wires down behind dash need to get a grommet for it so wont rub. Overall was a very easy ordeal had a few minutes of cussing but thats normal working on my deuce. When i went to plug into the wiring i couldnt find a stand alone wire to use but found one that looks like it goes toa heater. My ruck doesnt have a heater so i cut the end of and put a female end on it plugged it in an everything works. Now i need to see about getting a windshield washer pump and tank to complete everything up. And before anyone says anything here are some pics took some of where i mounted it so could see clearance. If any one has any suggestions on something i could do different let me know thanks.

Looks great. Do you have the shield ( outer cover )?

 

[rednckii]

I do just havent put it on yet gonna run it for a few days make sure everything is good to go then put it on.

 

[820jeep]

Great. Sounds like the power is the only likely problem I may run into.

I just got one of these and it has 3 wires. I assume ground, battery, and ignition?

 

[goatijoe]

I've got them and they where a gooberment upgrade. They work great after it took 2 months of playing with them to get them adjusted right. I must say they where installed by 2 people the one that did the motor did great and the other one that did the wiper arms and transmission part failed. its just trial and error until you get the arms right. If you flip your windshields up you have to do the drivers first from the blade over hangs and hits the passenger one if opened first.

 

[rednckii]

pretty sure one of them is for the washer

 

[joshs1ofakindxj]

Mine just randomly wouldn't work yesterday. I checked power, tried wiggling them, eventually after walking away and coming back again they worked fine. Anyone have the same issue?

 

[deucer]

I don't see where anyone clarified what wires they hooked up to power, ground and the third wire? I just bought a set and the wires are numbered but that is all.
