Couldn't agree more. Took my motor off about 1/2 hour after last trying it and it was still quite warm so I hate to think how hot it must have been when it got jammed. |

Thanks for all the great information just carried out the repair on my car like someone mentioned fitting the big trim panel was the trickiest part !

I'm not alone so. Mine packed up the other day! I checked fuse and it was blown, took of motor and gave it a thorough clean and regrease. Did a bench test and it works fine. Stuck it back on and it blew the fuse. Replaced fuse to restest and that blew as well! Anyone experience this before. Would I be right in saying that this could be an earth fault somewhere? |

I opened up the wiper motor today, and as expected, it was full of water. One of the electrical paths had corroded through, so replacement is my only option |

I got a Fiesta rear wiper motor a few days ago. It looked to be the same unit at the first glance, but on closer inspection it has a shorter spindle that the LR unit. It just cost me £20 and the internals is in superb condition. I will see if i am able to transfer the internals from the fiesta housing to my old LR housing, making it work again |

Jobb done with success!! All the internals was transfered from the fiesta unit to my old LR unit. I was able to gently loosen the electrical paths from the housing and put it over to the LR housing. Some of the retainer tabs broke of, but there was enough of the left to keep things properly in place. I added a drop of thin super glue to the tabs after placing the electrical paths in place just to be sure that they would stay there. The rest of the job was straight forward and wiper back in place.

Just a quick thank you to all that had input on this thread. Mine stopped working last night, so I’ve just stripped, cleaned, regreased and reassembled it remembering to pull the contacts up a bit. Works perfect! Saved a bob or two, I wonder if it’ll last another 10 years? |
