Motor Runs Slowly on Any Speed Setting

Wiper Motor Wiring Connectors:






NOTE: To gain access to wiper motor wiring terminals, remove terminal cover or suppressor as required.


Ammeter Between Terminal "L" And Battery:






1. Disconnect wiring harness connector at motor. Remove wiper arms and blades. Connect an ammeter between battery and motor terminal "L."
2. If motor runs and average ammeter reading is more than 6 amps, check to see if wiper linkage or pivots are binding or otherwise obstructed. Disconnect drive link from motor. If motor now draws less than 3 amps, repair linkage system.
3. If motor continues to draw more than 3 amps, replace motor assembly.
