wipers
 

has any one had any trouble with the wind shield wipers not returning back down and on delay going one speed and coming on and off through the stroke.work fine on full on hi-low:argh::argh:

Yes, my truck does that... I think the fact that they stop 1/4" from all the way down is either the stop switch or the turn signal stalk. My guess for mine, and yours probably too is that the stalk is jacked up. My intermittent works not so intermittenly intermittenly! HAHA!
I was going to try that before digging into the motor for a stop switch.

mine did the same thing before i changed the wiper motor and its good to go

mine would stay on for like 5 minutes after i shut them off!
:argh:

the stop in the wiper motor is what i was thinking but just woundering if any oine has had this problem and how to fix it thanks for the info guys:jump::tu::tu:

i just replaced the whole wiper motor i got tired of pissing with it... the easiest way haha

thats my way of thanking fix it and be done with it

yeah it just ends up bein easier in the long run:c:

thanks for all the info guys, much appreciated

how much of a job is it to replace the wiper motor?

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! :argh: 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:rocking:

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.
