But you didn't have any wiper blades.

I settled on an $8 resistor from O'rieley's. Tark is going to put it in one
line and run the other straight 12V. The old wiper I had stopped working
from being bound up from crud before I broke it it was still working and I
had been running 12V for about 9 years so...

I guess at some point I should do this too.
Been rain-xing the windows since I started driving my bus.
Would be nice to acually have wipers though.

I'll take a look at Bluebus.It has a resistor that cuts 12 -6 but I
don't know what the value is.

    In an attempt to fix my windshield wiper motor (which turned out
    not to be the one that goes to a '63. The one I took out had 5
    terminals) I broke it. I got another one with only two terminals
    which means it has one speed. Tark, who is doing all new
    electricals, wants to use a two speed switch.

    So, here are the questions; what resistor do we put in the system
    to allow 12 volts to run a 6 volt motor? And how and what
    resistors do we use to create 2 speeds? I want the answers to be
    available at Autozone or Radio Shack type places, not some
    expensive kit online, unless that proves to be the only way.

    I'm going over to Vintagebus to ask the same questions.

    There will be a prize.
