Windshield cleaner motor fix 700

posted by  someone claiming to be D- squared on  Mon Apr 28 04:19 CST 2003 [RELATED]

On both my 93' 940T and 89' 740T cars the windshiels cleaner motor had locked up, probably from infrequent use. I jumped power directly from the battery and could feel the motor want to turn over but wouldn't, even tried tapping the motor with a hammer - still nothing. Then I tried reversing the polarity to run the motor backwards and it spun immediatly. Then I changed the polarity back to the right direction and the motors work perfectly now.

    Did you try this on the wiper motor or the washer motor? I run my rear motors every time I go through the car wash to prevent corrosion on the commutator from stopping the motors. Works great.

      This was done for the washer motor, not the wiper motor.

        Sounds like debris in the washer tank. Locks up motor, reversing motor kicks out debris...... till next time.
