Got back in hour later, still raining, fired up wipers, worked but very slow. 15 seconds later, wipers stopped & won't work. Doesn't sound like fuse as they are intermittent. Wiper motor maybe? Any other ideas?
I was lucky, the replacement one I got from CarQuest didn't work. So they ordered me another one overnight. The first one was a rebuilt one, the second was a brand new oneRed_LX said:Yeah, your wiper motor is dead. Same thing happened to me several years ago. Easy fix, but try to find a used motor as I figure a new one is probably not cheap.
rd said:You may want to check or replace the wiper switch. I think they have a circuit breaker inside, and they can fail and open up in use. Then the wipers quit. There is also a module called the interval governor in the circuit, that controls the speed and timing on the interval settings.
Replacement of the switch fixed this problem on my old Bronco.
Let us know if the motor fixes it.
