Re: HELP!!! I killed my wiper motor??!!!!! 200 1984

John,

The body of the wiper motor has to be earthed for it to run (no earth through the plug). You'll see a brass coloured strip under one of the mounting legs. That's how the unit is earthed when its attached to the car. It and the piece of bodywork it touches have to be clean and shiny for a good connection. I also got a 25% improvement in wiper speed by running a seperate earth wire from one of the gearbox cover screws to a convenient chassis earth.

If you need a new unit, I've got stacks of them. 10 bucks and one's yours.

Cheers
