1961 Cadillac Series Sixty Fleetwood wiper motor

[Alexandre.j.basulto]

Good evening fellow Cadillac and Lasalle friends,



I have 1961 Cadillac Series Sixty Fleetwood. I had the car for a number of years and recently decided to rejuvenate it. The wiper system is something that always been an issue. Recently, I decided to take it out and rebuild it to see where the faults lay. When i took out the wiper motor i heard some rattling coming from the motor assembly. I took everything apart and gave everything a proper cleaning and new lube. The motor has two contact brushes. One of the two (see picture) were broken as well as the spring. Does anyone know where i can find a new set of brushes and springs. Everything else seems to be in working order. Thank yous all looking forward to some good feed back

I cannot say where. But that wiper motor was also used on Corvettes from 63-65 I think.  I found parts for it cheaper from Corvette suppliers then Cadillac suppliers.

Some years ago, I bought a rebuilt replacement motor from NAPA.

Much more economic that trying to locate specific parts.

Don't know what is still available now...

Tim Groves at https://www.cadillactim.com is a resource for repairing and rebuilding wiper motors in addition to other parts in your car (windows, switches, climate controls).

You can call up Cadillac-specific junk yards and buy spares to scavenge parts from as well.
