[V8] Wiper Motor Problems

[Dave Saad]

There is a very good chance your only problem is a loose nut on the  
crank arm.  Same thing happened to me a few years back.  The fix was  
quick and easy.
If you really do have a bad motor though, any type 44 car has the same  
motor I am fairly sure.  A good used part should be cheap and easy to  
find.
