Help. I think I may have a problem with my wiper motor.
I'm moving along on the Harrington, just installed the wiper assembly, but when testing the motor with a 12v lantern battery, I'm getting nothing but a spark.. It bench tested well..but now I'm wondering if somehow it's stuck, or I accidentally shorted it out?? Any thoughts about how to proceed in looking in to this. This is the original wiper motor and I also have an NOS wiper motor still in it's rootes box, but it doesn't respond to power either...so wondering if I am missing something, or if this is typical of these motors to sieze up?? Yes the battery is fresh and I'm following the wiring diagram to wire it up..ie: red to ground wire, , green to powered switch and black to body ground. Any thoughts?
thanks
