Dead wiper motor
Posted: Tue Nov 22, 2016 11:28 pm
Hello,
Came to use the wipers for the first time in a while today and they're completely dead. I checked for voltage and got 12V at all the 3 pins that are supposed to. checked continuity through the parking switch and checked that the plunger cuts off the supply when pushed in. All fine.
So I am assuming that it's the motor itself as there are no humming or whirring sounds from it either.
My question is has anyone bought a new one recently and where did you buy it?
I have seen a few on the net and all seem to have different part numbers, I'd also like to know if all the Lucas round top motors are the same or do they differ in some way, perhaps the degree of sweep varies from model to model? This is for a 1972 +2 S130
Cheers
