I have this problem I've been living with for years and I'm thinking of fixing it. Here we go...

Windshield wiper motor:

about 5 years ago my wiper motor quit (Grind, grind, grind...halt!!!)

I put in a new (rebuilt motor) and thats when these problems started...

(1) does not shut off corrctly with the switch

sometimes I have to feather the switch to get it to shut off.

(2) Intermittents do not work.

I replaced the switch and it did not make a difference. (Brand new switch)

I replaced the motor with one from a junkyard (had the exact same problems)

Could I have been unlucky and got a motor from the boneyard with the exact same problems? (I kinda doubt it...then again, could just be my luck)

The dealer diagnosed it as needing a new wiper moter (about 3 years ago)

I couldn't afford their prices so I never persued fixing the problem...

plus I really don't trust the dealer.

What do you guys think...Possibly some common easy fix ???

I hate to buy a part from the boneyard (no returns on electrical parts)

Just junkyard credit.

Your help with this will be grately appreciated...I miss my interrmittents

after all these years.

Thanks,

Jack W.
