I have a pair of electric wiper motors that I got out of a 46-47 1 1/2 ton 2wd, They look original, and I think therfore they are 6 volt. I have one up on E-bay right now, and the other one will go up next week(I am selling one at a time so I don't get them mixed up).

I keep getting questions about how they work, but as I only have 12 Volt power sources, I am not willing to blow up the motor trying to see if they work using a 12 Volt power source.

Can I hook up a 6 volt wiper motor to a 12 Volt power supply without blowing it?

If not is there another way of testing them??

Thanks for any help you can provide!
