I have an electric wiper motor in my 50 3600 that I have had for years. =20
It stopped working, so I checked the wiring, and upon deciding to=20
replace it with a new $400 one, I unhooked the linkage from the pins. =20
When I did this, the motor suddenly started working again without the=20
wipers hooked up.  So I put the linkage back on the pins and turned it=20
on.  Nothing.  I seem to recall many years ago when I first installed=20
it, there was a little band that hooked onto two pins, where the linkage=20
is attached.  Without it, they would not work.  Am I imagining things,=20
or is this a component that I need for the wipers to work?

Thanks!
