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....

I agree, best looking EV ever.

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

Your truck is looking soo sinister, like it wants to sneak up on you with bad intentions.

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.
