Subject:more on the Wiper Motor
From:Mark Mages
Date:Thu, 17 Sep 1998 09:56:41 -0500

Ok, I just want to get the list opinion on the motor, (thanks to those
who offered to pull/sell one) and make sure I am replacing the right
thing.

To anyone who has replaced one (or had one go bad)

The wiper feels like a gear is stripped inside.  When off, I can turn
the wiper at least 180deg with no resistance, while the one that
functions doesn't move at all.  If it was just the motor, wouldn't there
still be some resistance, or is this the typical symptom of a bad motor
- it is one of the few things I haven't had break on one of my cars...

This may be a stupid question, but I just don't have the funds to get a
"professional" opinion right now.  Besides, y'all have a lot more
experience with vans than my current "professional" :)
