I've managed to get my drivers side wiper motor working but the other side ain't having it!!
Pretty sure it's leaking air at the gasket and/or the arm inside might not be sealing against the body
Are spares available? Could I get a complete motor.
It's in a 44 jailbar truck, is this style fitted to other years/models
Thanks
Ian

Disconnect the vacuum supply hose, squirt some oil into it, and move the wiper back and forth by hand to suck the oil into the motor. The felt paddles dry out over time and will not hold vacuum. Often, that's all it needs to get them working again.
