i had the same problem i just replaced the wiper motor when i took the old one out it had a bad burnt smell just make sure u get the wiper arms lined up right.

 

mine does somthin similar to this too and i was wondering how much a moter would cost?? i don't even know were to start lookin for one! ive thought about salvage yard but they never have the parts i need any website thats cheap and painless? thanks

 

just go to your local napa or any parts store don't get a used one. the work to replace it u could just as well get a new one there about 70 to 80 dollars or go to RockAuto Auto Parts

 

I had the wiper motor quit in my 97 gas ram back a few years ago.. there is a transition in there on if you had old style or new style wiper motor..had something to do with the splines on the motor.. but I could not find a remanufactered at any of the parts stores around Indy...last ditch try...called the dealer and figured I was gonna pay big for it...it was cheaper to buy new from dealer and included all new "transmissions" for wiper arms then to get a reman from parts stores...Just might wanna give the dealer a call... it surprised the hell out of me!

 

u were lucky, i called my local chrysler dealer and they wanted $400 for the whole assembly. i went to my local napa store and the motor was only $74

 

OUCH! I guess times have changed! I paid , if memory serves, $104 bucks for it And at that time the remna were running about $130. But that was a while ago. Hope you have decent luck finding one for a fair price...you try eBay? There are several auto parts sellers on there that have fair prices, fast shipping and great rating! I would deal with anything less! I wish they made a winsheild that didn't seem to have flat spots in it...both my 96 & 97 have spot that just don't seem to wipe like it's flat spotted...winshield defect I guess.

 

My wipers have been doing the same thing...but i just deal with it. the cost of that repair is 0$. until i finally blow a gasket and then i guess it's wiper motor time... i thought i was the only one with the wonky wipers! thanks for the thread and the info.
