Subject: [Oletrucks] Electric wiper motor question
Message-ID: <em6e5bc79d-fd58-4076-8879-552a423f2275@3c8b8197.com>

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

Thanks!
