are you sure its fubar'ed and not that just something happened? (loose wire, etc)

[HardcoreZ28]

Try jumping batter power right to the motor after consulting a wiring diagram to find which is power. This will tell you if you have a bad motor or if it's the wiring/switch. The motor is a simple 20 minute job or so. Wiring on the other hand could take a while.

[twiztidz28]

ok so who wants to help :lol:

[HardcoreZ28]

What exactly do you need help with? The testing part or the replacement part? If you've got a wiring diagram I can help you test it. You should be able to change it no problem. It's 2 bolts to hold the motor on and 1 nut inside the cowl where the arm mechanism attaches.

ill look at my chiltons today and try to figure some of it out but if i acnt im up ****s creak without a paddel

[foff667]

I'd help but it would be the blind leading the blind IMO...i cant see it being a difficult swap though...what about autozone or advance auto?

i will say this...the motor is available at advance auto for like $60 and i found the switch at autozone...not sure if advance has that(didnt look) so personally i would just get the motor, try that...if it doenst work return it or move on to the next thing...but thats me. And honestly i dont see it being that hard to replace.

if you need a 3rd gen wiper motor assembly, i got several, i'll even install it.. all for less than 10 bucks, i still gotta check on those other parts, when i do, i'll get back to you about everything. -Paul

rain-x owns.....no need for wipers with that stuff.

Paul what do you own a junkyard? christ you just have everything anyone needs ant any given time.

Sure ill take one. You busy tomorrow(saturday) cause im heading down to the whiskey cafe to meet some people. around 5

i dont have a junkyard exactly :twisted: , but i've parted out over 15 fbodies so far and i got a lot of parts still laying around, When i strip a car, it usually goes as a bare chassis, no wiring, glass or anything that can unbolt. i was going to go to whiskey cafe last night but i had to help my gf's family move. If you want to meet up sometime this week and i'll bring the parts i have, just let me know when and where is good for you. Today i'm working on my monte ss, i wanna try to start it up today, so i'll be home.
