@ImTheDaveman Год назад

I have an URGENT Question: This makes no sense. I installed the Wiper Motor pretty much like you explained it. I tested it before putting the shroud and wiper arms back on. The new motor worked perfectly! But then., I had this genius idea that I needed to check and make sure the Arm that connects to the motor was properly tightened. So - I tried fighting it and the motor and arm shifted positions. I couldn't get it to reverse itself to the right position - so I started my truck hoping it would right itself - I heard the motor turn - then my F250 died! It will turn over and over and over., but would not start. What could I have possibly done to cause this? I mean - you can only plug the power into the motor one way - very much foolproof. I would think that the motor fuse itself would blow. This happened this afternoon - I'll check my fuses in the morning - but Wow! I was hoping you'd have an idea of what went wrong. Thank you in advance for your time, consideration, and any suggestions you can give me.

@PistonShack Год назад

Hey Dave. I would check main Ignition fuse which powers wiper fuse and relay. Most likely that one is blown. Probably when motor tried to turn the arm current spiked and burned the main fuse. Unfortunetelly, I don't have wiring diagram right now. I would remove the wiper motor, set it to the right position, replace fuses as necessary then try to start the truck. Btw, do you have CHECK ENGINE when key turned ON? If not could be ECU fuse blown.

@ImTheDaveman Год назад

@@PistonShack Well sir - I followed your directions (which is sound and logical). None of the fuses were blown. I just went for broke. Instead of pulling the bracket - I pulled the arm lose from the motor where it sat and adjusted the position - slapped the arm back on, and held the arm in place with a screwdriver while I tightened it back down - as not to have a repeat performance of what got me to this place. I stuck in the key, didn't expect much, but she roared to life! This makes no sense to me how a wiper motor could possibly in any way shape or form, keep the truck from starting up and running. I'm not complaining mind you - only crazy people do that - LoL. I'm just confoozed on how that works. Anyways - I deeply appreciate your advice and I learned a thing or three in the process. 👍👍

@chrishicks7040 2 года назад

Close to a foot of snow fell from the roof of my 2003 F-350 onto the operating wipers - they stopped. Now there's a clicking noise, but no wiping. Sounds like one of the mechanical arms broke, but on your video they look rather solid. Any suggestions?

@PistonShack 2 года назад

I would check for any ice and snow accumulation down at the wipers arms and motor first. Then check if wiper arm shaft turns at the wiper arm connection.

@chrishicks7040 2 года назад

Thank you very much! I rigged up a cord to each wiper blade, with one going to the driver, the other to the passenger. With this we are able to operate the wipers by taking turns pulling the wipers towards us, one at a time. Once I get the truck out of the ditch and back home, I expect to find the trapezoidal wiper arm assembly broken somewhere. Your videos are excellent and appreciated.

@PistonShack 2 года назад

@@chrishicks7040 Great! Thanks for feedback. Let me know if you have any questions. Happy Holidays!

@chrishicks7040 2 года назад

Truck is at home, wiper assembly is out. The bar of the assembly that comes off of the motor post popped its ball from the socket on the opposite end from where it connects to the motor. I bent the arm back to something like the original position and am able to pop the ball back into its socket. Before I do that I'll spend a few moments looking for a new arm. The assembly itself is over $500 at a big chain parts store. A junkyard would be ideal if the truck wasn't essential here in winter, (my snowplow), and junkyards are far from home. Thanks for the video - it made my 1st attempt easy knowing what I'd find.

Nice video, how did you troubleshoot the relays?

@PistonShack 3 года назад

Hi Kyle, I will bridge pins 30 and 87 wipers should turn on. Pin 86 (85) is ground. When you turn wipers on you should have voltage at pin 85. 87 or 30 should have constant 12v. That's basic four pin relay schematic. To bridge relay I always use incandescent test light.

@PistonShack 3 года назад

Normally, any relay between pins 30 and 87 should be open (0L.)
