Wiper help please!
I am working on an 85 crew cab, I have put 4 wiper motors in it and none of them work. If I help it, they will kinda move. I have tested the plugs for power and seem to have good power in all positions of the switch. I have also checked the linkage for binding and everything moves free. The motor works when not hooked to the linkage, but has no power to turn, I can stop it with my fingers. Its winter in idaho and I have to have wipers, any idea on what to check or replace next?

Re: Wiper help please!
I have not replaced the switch, Trying to avoid tearing the column apart. What is the box at the base of the column that the wipers plug into?

Re: Wiper help please!
Check for a good ground. Pretty common thing with wiper motors...
Run a temporary ground from the battery right to the wiper motor and try it.

Re: Wiper help please!
could the delay module be the problem? I have run a ground strap to the fire wall and tried running from the battery, same problem. It does it with the hood up or down or even off, same problem. I have invested about 7 hours into it so far and I am getting flustered.

Re: Wiper help please!
Won't hurt a thing to try it, they're not very expensive, just a PITA, so many screws to get to one little part.
