Has anyone successfulv replaced the front wiper motor with one from another vehicle?
My wiper motor sorta quit this morning. Nothing works but fast speed.
I searched and the toyota part is discontinued and there are no reman units available anywhere.
My plan is to open up the current one and attempt to rebuild it, but here in rainy Vancouver, there is no way I can survive driving with no wipers while I rebuild/order parts for the original unit.
I read a thread where someone said a 3rd gen 4runner unit can be retrofitted. I couldn't find any other info on it.
I compared pictures I could find of the 2 units and they are similar. Only difference is that maybe all the mounting holes may not line up, and the 4runner motor has a 4 pin connector and a ground wire where the land cruiser unit has a six pin connector (only 5 pins used).
I looked through both wiring diagrams and the land cruiser unit has the ground wire on the connector instead of a separate wire.
Edit. Forgot to mention it's on a 1995 LC
Any thoughts or tips?
TIA
