Listers -
Thanks for the advice on replacing the wiper motor. I was able clean the
contacts and grease the cable on the used replacement assembly and install
as a unit, keeping the two wheel boxes in place. I did find it easier to
remove the passenger seat and loosen the dash fasteners to provide some
clearance from the glove box.
Unfortunately, replacing the wiper motor didn't fix the 'no wipers' problem.
I swapped the wiper switch with the blower switch to eliminate that variable
(blower still worked, wiper motor didn't). From the circuit diagram, it
looks like the double green connector gets constant (ignition switched)
power, and the wiper switch completes another circuit, allowing either of
the other two connectors to receive power. I confirmed that the double
green connection at the wiper motor is getting switched power. It's
possible that both wiper motors are bad, but that seems unlikely. Any
recommendations to bench test my original motor as long as it's out of the
car, or do some simple checks on the replacement now that it's installed?
Thanks as always,
