Wiring looks great!

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

I appreciate that.

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

Oh no mate, what happened?

• did you fry a chip on the VCU?
• is your inverter not starting again?
• I know, you welded closed another contactor in the safety box?

... wait what? your windshield wiper motor doesn't work!!!

Make sure you move the right and left side linkages by hand to make sure they move freely.

Also make sure that the wiper switch has a good ground at the dash....

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

thank you great tips, is the OEM star washer enuff to ground the switch on the dash? or is there some VooDoo required?

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

I agree, best looking EV ever.

Nice work keeping the cost down. That's got to be cheaper than a typical LS swap.

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

Sad but true!

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

I use the RainX windshield washer fluid in the washer reservoir and get the same results. It even reapplies itself and stays put in the rain.
The best part is when you hit about 50 mph and the rain just beads off and you don't really need your wipers on.
It's a great gift too if you're looking for something that is relatively inexpensive but every time the giftee uses the washer, they'll think of you.

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

oh man that's cool, I didn't know they offered that, I must try that in the wife's Honda Pilot, she uses that squirter thingie daily, lol
