Default wipers issue

yesterday i went to use my wipers and the only way they would move was if i put them on the high setting and the creeped really slow so i shut them off. I'm thinking te motor is a little ceized up but it to windy to mess with it today i gotta wait til monday. I never drive this car in the rain so its like they will probaly never be used but i still would like them to work

Default RE: wipers issue

i just switched my motor fromt he same symptoms, the motor goes then it goes really really slow, then it fails...

first check the #18 fusable link, i'm pretty sure it's 18, it s a big solid metal one with two prongs, if thats loose or failing it may cause motor to act up. if thats working well, its possible the switch is going, but i'd bet on the motor...

had to replace the motor, there are 3 bolts mounting the motor to the firewall, also there are 2 electric connectors,first remove the wipers from the mounts on the hood, remove the grate and near the drivers side the motor mounts to the swing arms and you'll have to unclip the arms from the motor or unbolt the short arm from the motor, it's easier to unclip, just dont loose the clip, then you can remove from the firewall and replace with a new one, plug it in and bolt it up and be sure it works before putting everthing back together, should only take 1/2 hour...

wiper motor trans goes bad
^huh, sometimes the water in the grate/drain seeps into the elecctric motor housings and the magnet and windings get rusted together and cannot create energy cause of lack of conductive area.... i dunno, my old one was all rusty when i took it all apart... i cleaned it all up real good but haven't had a need to use/try it yet so i dunno....
