113-955-113G VW Beetle 2-Speed Wiper Motor NEW - (1972-1979)

VW Beetle 2-Speed Wiper Motor – 113-955-113G

Ensure clear visibility during inclement weather with this high-quality 2-Speed Wiper Motor. This 12-volt motor is the correct "late-style" replacement for air-cooled Volkswagens equipped with steering column-mounted wiper switches. Featuring a 4-terminal electrical connection, this motor is designed to interface perfectly with the later wiring harnesses that moved away from the dashboard-mounted pull switches of the 1960s.

Over decades of service, original wiper motors can become sluggish, noisy, or fail entirely due to internal grease hardening or electrical winding burnout. This replacement is engineered to provide consistent torque to the wiper linkage, maintaining steady blade speed even during heavy downpours. It is a direct-fit replacement that restores both the low and high-speed settings for a safe and reliable driving experience.

Installation & Maintenance Tips Index the Motor: Before attaching the wiper arms to the exterior of the car, run the motor and let it return to the "park" position. This ensures your wipers don't start their sweep in the middle of your windshield.

Lubricate the Linkage: While the motor is removed, take the time to clean and grease the wiper linkage pivots. Often, a "blown" motor is actually caused by a seized linkage that forced the motor to work too hard.

Check the Switch: If the new motor only works on one speed, the issue may be in your column wiper stalk or the wiring harness. Use a multimeter to verify power at all terminals before final assembly.

Grounding is Critical: Ensure the motor has a solid ground connection to the body. Most wiper motor issues in vintage VWs are caused by poor grounding or corroded terminals.
