How To Diagnose and Replace a C3 Corvette Wiper Motor
Vložit
- čas přidán 23. 08. 2024
- This is what I did to diagnose my windshield wipers and replace a windshield wiper motor in my daily driver C3 Corvette, along with some minor general maintenance in and around the area. This how-to info applies to any C3 1968-1982 Chevrolet Corvette. If I missed anything, ask related questions in the comments.

She's a beauty. Take good care of her. JD might want to drive her to the prom.
He's got his own car
Wow, an Auto-CZcamsr that actually admits to buying something from RockAuto like us normal humans! Well done! Actual budget stuff on this channel. Love it.
Of course! Just a regular guy
I actually like the older corvettes better. But driving your vette to work every day is a statement in itself. Thumbs up. Good job
That’s a badass Vette !! Gotta respect a guy that has committed to daily-ing a C3, 80 miles a day ……. I hear’75 was a big comfort year for the driver experience lol
They're really comfortable actually
I vaguely remember riding in a 75 stingray as a kid , I was so awestruck that I didn’t care what it rode like ! I found later on that the C 4,5&6 are a little rough on the long hauls when your 6’5” 😮
I'm 6'1 and I wouldn't want to be much taller in a c3 lol
I drive mine 200 a day. 40 miles is nothing
AMC is making a comeback...especially the 4x4 Eagles.
I bought a 2 door brand new in 1984 because I had to cross the mtns from Virginia to West Virginia several times a yr....
I had my wife & 1 yr old daughter with me one such trip & we got caught in a blizzard ...the weather said "flurry's" .
But thats mtn weather for ya. Very unpredictable.
Although to route we took was a snow route , the roads were not plowed .
Near the top of the pass we found a mom & pop grocery store open & we stopped . The snow was a foot deep at this point &
Those folks were shocked to see a traveler in this blizzard . They invited us to stay til the roads were clear , but as luck would have it , a plow truck stopped by at 2 a.m. and we followed him over the mtn...
That Eagle never spun a tire . It probably saved our lives that night ...More than one had been caught by storms over the yrs & not survived ...
My daughter is 34 yrs old today . She doesnt remember of course, but she turned a yr old at that mom & pop store . They were a nice old couple & got a big kick outta my daughter & the fact that she turned 1 in their store...
She has a stuffed bear still to this day the old folks gave her for her 1st b-day...
True story ...
That's my favorite generation of corvettes.
Can’t wait to see that eagle back on the road. One of my favorite amcs. Of course the amx is #1. But the concord is right up there with them
Man that Corvette is SWEET!!! Like you i drive my 92 Z28 just about every day to work.
I’ve never gotten seasick watchin a youtoo video until you were comparing the two motors. God! Am I old!! And there’s no way I would have ever guessed your daily would be a vette
Now that's a daily driver. I love the videos of you working on crap ( very entertaining) I've driven my share but im glad to see you with something so nice. 😊
I have several nice things. Gotta know how to do things right to do them wrong
@@PoleBarnGarage I'm using that line . Lol
I also have a 75 Vette, I enjoyed this video even though my wipers are one of the few things on mine that work right. My heater and air conditioner just are gone, as in not there at all, sucks.
c3 vettes are under appreciated in my opinion
C3s seem to always have wiring issues (dang it Bubba)…. I have a 78 and I redid the interior last winter. Put a plastic dash cover on and getting the speedometer/tachometer and center panel to fit was a bugger. Definitely fun to drive.
MORE CORVETT !!!
Nice. I have a beautiful 69 convertible. Very original and numbers matching car. I definitely don't daily it. Car shows only! 😁 At least the 1975s don't have the vacuum wiper door stuff like mine. Thanks for the videos! 👍👍
I'm on the hunt for a 69-72 4 speed at the moment. C3s are the best!
Mine's "just" a TH400 auto, but it runs great. Probably why it's still alive - no massive clutch dumps! 😁@@PoleBarnGarage
Diggin the Corvette content. That's the exact year I'm wanting. My birth year 75. Wanna trade for a c4 with 80,000 miles lol
It's same color
That's a beautiful Vette. Very. Informative video.
Beautiful vette
Nice car. We have a cold front moving in also. It's going to be below zero for days. Just had about 30 inches of snow. Thanks for the video 👍
Great explanation. Very informative. Keep up the great work and I will keep on watching
That Vette sounds badass. Good stuff.
Cool looking Corvette. Is a little weird watching you do something the bolt on easy job way!
Beautiful Vett! I have always been fond of the old C3's. By the way I love the variety of content. Every video is something interesting. Keep up the great work.
👍Good stuff. No better feeling than a job well done w/ great results. Nice Corvette, looks great! (Overall comfort of the ride was always lacking)
These stingrays are my favorite vette body style just a beautiful car Great video Dalton @Pole Barn Garage
I had to make my direct replacement fit my linkage, a little bit of filing with a Needle file. Good luck
C3 My favorite body style...she is a nice ride
Awesome video nice job, hope to see more of this Vette in the future. 👍
Judging by the views this is getting, you probably won't lol
Wow ! Respect to U , with that beauty! ♥️
Rain-X.
Done.
I need them to come out with ice-x
There's one just a stones throw away from as way the doves fly just rotting away. For years I've tried to get the owner to let me buy it, but no is the steady reply.
Beautiful car there my man!
Just go and steal it!😂
My son and I are putting all new brake lines front to back on his 1994 Corvette merry Christmas to you and your family.
Short but sweet - happy ending when it works as advertised
This video made me miss my `77 Vette!
Great cars
Nice sounding car!
nice daily driver
Another great video thanks for sharing 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Cool ! Yuo drive a Corvette in the winter ? Don't know where you at but Corvette in the snow is guestionable
Missouri. It snows like 3 times a year, I just drive my 82 Chevy when it does. You'd be surprised how well a vette does though, they're pretty heavy cars, and lots of weight on the rear tire
Ilive gulf coast something I've always wanted to do is a donut in the snow with a front drive car
Great job dude.
Nice car sounds great
Great job
15:57 Idk why, but I still like seeing oil changes even after seeing hundreds of them.
Gotta love GM. The wiper linkage down in the cowl is the same design as on my 66 Corvair. I see several small parts that are the same. Also I love any Vette with the Hooker style side pipes. The e factory units are ugly and sound the same.
These are stainless steel units, not super impressed with them
You know what works best for applying grease in those places is a small modeling paint brush.
Nice car pbg
Nice car..
Nice daily driver
I wish somebody made stainless steel ts for vacuum lines and wind shield washer lines.
That's an awfully sweet looking C3 for the owner/builder of the #Holey Goat...
My tastes vary...
Rain Resistant!!
😂
Good times. I swapped out the wiper motor in my 94 Chevy Cheyanne at a mud run in the rain. The only time I've ever needed to replace one of those things. I miss that ugly yellow thing. I traded it for a Dodge Avenger. Not a smart move.
Oooooooof. Dodge avenger
Nutty 😂
Dam that’s a beautiful car dude I wish I was in the USA the cars here in the uk are trash
You can always move!
You re-wrapped wiring? Should we have JD check for a pod under your bed?
Шикарный Корвет
Gets em
Liked, shared and commented 🍻🗽🤴🏻 16:41
Thanks!
Thats sure is a nice daily driver.
Just a beater
I’m glad the vacuum T broke, otherwise you may have made it to the end of the job without destroying something. 😱
The movie Corvette Summer
One of these Days Dalton I'm going to get a Welder and Come over there and take you through a Crash Course on Home Welding.
I can weld. Not much to weld on a fiberglass car
Santa gotta really nice sled!! Wait until you have to replace the door handle on the driver's side, lol. I was 4 years old when my dad had to do it on his '70 LT1. I am going to take a guess as to his frustration and say it was waaaaay up there, because I heard a really loud yell, and the old one looked like a missile headed for space 😳, rolmao
I looked for it for days with no luck.
BUT, when I was 14 by accident, I found it! 😂😅😂😅
So I brought it to him, and said, "hey I found it!!". Well, the car was long gone 10 years, but the look. 😳☠️☠️☠️👁👁
It definitely was not of joy. Then in a calm eerie voice he said, "it took you long enough. Now do us both a favor and put it back." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I did them both, not too bad a job
How man 5.5 sockets have you had to make thinner?
Nice! I have a 74 thats the same color. What carb are you running? My quadrajet makes the thing run and sound mean as hell but its a giant pain in the butt when things go wring with it.
Holley Street warrior 600 on this one.
Didn't know you had nice things.....
A few
Spray some WD-40 on a cloth and clean your wipers blades, it rejuvenates.
Uh oh last time you cleaned up wiring with side cutters things got a little dicey.
Just traded a 05 jeep lj for a 81 corvette
What are the black buckets seats out of sitting on the old work bench??
69 Camaro or firebird
I'm looking for a set for my 72 chevelle if you come across some.
Pricey these days. There's a core set around here for 700
🔥🌶💯
Drove vette to Arizona?? Did I miss that video????
It's listed at the end of this one. November 2021 ish
Where's your splash pan fur dat dare cover thingy ?
Don't have one
HELPS PROTECT YOUR WIRING IF ITS LOOMED UP PROPERLY TO
Holy **** snap on ratchets . next you're gonna be wearing Rolexes in your Jaaaaaaag
The screw was removed on the bottom so the unit could drain
😄
yea don't crack that fiberglass. Nice work car.
We all know why you didn’t film the wiper blade installation....😂😂
It'll Freeze.
Thick oil.
15:56 It's winter ... why aren't running that bug zapper?
Long time commenter ... first time watch ... self proclaimed YT expert ...
What were we talking about again?
Did you mean I am running it? I literally have to go look now and see if I left it plugged in lol
Nice ride. Worst era of Vettes, but still cool.
C3 is my favorite body style hands down. If you mean smog era power, I mean, come on, it's a small block Chevy. A monkey and 3 dollars can make power with one
@@PoleBarnGarage oh, not faulting the body style, it looks like a fighter jet! But…your feet feel like you’re trying to work a clutch, brake and gas pedal in the bottom of a 5 gallon bucket. I’m 6’2&1/2 and my size 11’s get all caught up down there. I have a customer with a ‘79.
🤘❤🤍💙🤘
Wait
WAIT
W A I T!!!
An apprentice is driving his corvette 80 miles round trip every day?
MAN they are paying you too much!!! 😆🤣🤣
All kidding aside, maybe you can help me with something for a sec, I could probably look it is but you may know off the top of your head. I grabbed a 1974 corvette non-booster master cylinder for my project… which reservoir goes where? Front of the master feeds the front wheels or back?
Front is front rear is rear if I remember correctly
@@PoleBarnGarage
Outstanding… thank you kindly
That's weird it doesn't have any rust holes 🤔
*visible* rust holes
@@PoleBarnGarage lol
you don't need low speed wipers, everyone knows Missourians only use HIGH! =)
E
We use to call that stuff DUM-DUM you will find it all over your Vette.
I think you've found your niche.
People with a C3 Corvette wiper motor malfunction.
Well, anyone searching for it will find this video 🤷
It can be a pain in the ass wrenching with 2 hands! And you're holding a f,ing camera!!!!
Those wiper motors are crap. Get a good C4 wiper motor and fit it in there, it's a lot better and you have a delay function.
It works perfectly fine
@@PoleBarnGarage Good, the last two I bought were wobbly and didn't turn on or shut off properly.
I was expecting a police officer to get shot or you Be non stop sexually assaulting someone or maybe even calling a person the incorrect pronouns after you politely asked them which ones they prefer with the warning at the beginning of the video. CZcams is pushing it with me when they start messing with all of my favorite creators.
What on earth are you talking about lol
Are you ok now?
