Subject: [Oletrucks] Electric wiper motor question

 

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!
