Wiper Motor

Lately has been slow to start wiping. Turn on and can be up to a full minute before it actually starts to do its job. Fortunately here in AZ dont need it much but do need to get it fixed. Have not even started to look to diagnos, just looking for suggestions on where to start. Acts like blades are stuck to window after long time of no use but that is not it. Thanks for the suggestions.

Hi,

I had to replace my motor. Not too bad just remove the top cover and pull the blade arms off and it is then easy to test the motor itself with a short piece of wire from the battery and see if it works right away. If it does then a wiring or switch issue.

THere is a write up on here about repairing this w/o needing a replacement motor. IIRC they are about $160.

Mine was ~ $60 for a crappy Cardone reman. I hate cardone but couldn't find parts & simply replaced. Easy job so I won't mind replacing (again) came with lifetime warranty.

That's probably what I got from the dealer for $160.
