Re: Wiper Motor?

Question

It could be the ground connection. There is not an external grounding wire on the motor. But I did get an arc when I touched the motor housing to the windshield frame with a screw driver. The fuse did not blow and the motor did not actuate. I actually took the motor (gear box/contact) apart and inspected the internal components. It shows a lot of wear on the contact brushes and the circular copper contacts also were heavily worn and corroded. The worm drive gear also seemed to have alot of wear.
