Help Troubleshooting wipers, type 44

[l.leung at juno.com]

Hmmm, is this to assume that you can't just replace the motor. I'd prefer that route, although I'd admit, replacing the whole assy would
take even less time to actually do the job.

LL - NY - hoping not to tear that dumb plastic spash tray....



It's also useful to keep in mind that the early wiper motor assembly will
fit the later cars.  I replaced the wiper motor/assembly in the 1990
200TQA with one out of a 1985 5KS.  Don't be put off by the different
appearance of the early vs later assembly, they are interchangeable.
FWIW I've had better longevity with the "old" style type 44
 assemblies
than the new style.
