RE: [Chrysler300] Windshield washer and wiper questions on 1957 300C

["'Jean-Yves' jymopar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [Chrysler300]" <Chrysler300-noreply@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I just went thru the same problem ( no park) on a 300C here.

We removed the cover on the wiper motor and found the plastic parking cam
stuck...dried grease in there...

I was  able to clean off the dried grease, used a little brake cleaner as a
helper, then used my fingers to wiggle the cam free...so it works again.
Then re lubed with dielectric grease before placing the cover back on.

Subject: [Chrysler300] Windshield washer and wiper questions on 1957 300C

 

  

Hello All --

Now that the electrics are activated in my 1957 300C, I am encountering 
some questions regarding the windshield wipers and the washer system.

1) The wipers seem to have only two speeds: slow and VERY slow -- and 
not much difference between the two! Is that "normal" for this car? 
Multimeter shows strong 12.5 volts to the motor and all pivot points in 
the mechanism are recently cleaned and lubed.
2) The wipers do not "park" when shut off -- I have to turn the switch 
off at just the right instant to get them stopped at full down 
position. Is that right? All other wipers that I am familiar with have 
a "park" function built into the motor. Do I perhaps have a partially
defective wiper motor?
3) The car was equipped with the Jiffy-Jet washer bag and foot pump, 
but the old hoses were age-cracked and broken off so I don't know 
exactly how the hoses (larger diameter from washer fluid bag, smaller 
diameter up to squirter on hood) are routed, and especially how and 
where they connect to the plastic 3-port distribution valve. Can anyone 
send me a link to a good diagram (or photos) showing those different 
hose sizes and routing to/from the washer pump, fluid bag, 3-way valve 
and underhood squirter? Where is that 3-way valve supposed to mount? 
We presently have it clamped at the rearmost mounting foot for the brake 
vacuum canister on the left fenderwell.
