Re: Wiper Motor

Yeah, I have the same issue with my wipers. They work intermittently and then sometimes completely stop, but will start back up. They react slow to the switch. I read up a lot on the subject this past winter, it sound like my motor needs replaced. It’s on my To Do list. The good news is, the wiper motor seems easy to replace.

Re: Wiper Motor

I assume that you are talking about off, low, high 2 speed wipers, not "pulse" intermittent wipers. When I replaced the motor and integral washer pump in my 83 I got an AC Delco unit. It was about $100. The washer died in a few years. I added a cheap electric washer pump to replace it, and it works better than the "clunk, clunk, clunk" OEM washer. The motor is still good. So, I don't know if AC Delco in this case is any better than any of the other Chinese units.
