Thread: wiper motor stopping

Tweet

ok I really need your help! Got about 6 wiper motors given to me. I can get them to start turning and then when I turn them off, they will not start again most of the time or they get to a point and stop. I am thinking it has something to do with when you stop the wipers and they return to the down position. Help?

Do you know what kind of wiper motors they are? Or the make/model/year vehicle they came out of? What you're describing sounds like the park switch is still in circuit. Connecting power directly to the leads that go to the motor itself will bypass that switch. If you can identify what wiper motor it is I can probably find specific info.

I agree with Phil - Sounds like the Park Switch is the issue

Have a google for Wiper Motor Wiring - there's plenty of info about it, you'll be fine once it's bypassed.

Si

I agree, sounds like the auto parking circuit.

not sure what kind they are. All the info and pics I found are different 5 pin connectors. The ones I ahve have 6 pins and some also have the 3 pins right off the motor and no way to get to the direct wires to the motor. One of them did have the 2 wires coming out of the motor and I hooked to those, it did work and kept going untill I turned it off and then when I turned it on again it would not start again. Thanks for the replys.

I tried another power supply on it and bam works like a charm. Can't believe I did not think of that sooner. So problem solved. Thanks again for the help.
