mental note to self for future... when bench testing a wiper motor, don't forget to ground to chassis.

My motor was fine after all the smoke, so I'm sure yours is too. Problem is that when the loose bolt got jammed in the works, it stripped the hole, so it'll need drilled and tapped, or helicoiled or replaced entirely, which is probably what I'll do....

Oddly enough, I pulled a spare out of a parts car, and it was missing two of the same bolts also. Must not be an uncommon problem. I'd say lock-tite them suckers in. Pain in the ass job to fix, and one of them failures that only happens when you need the wipers as you found out.
