    windshield wipers

    i think the motor for my windshield wipers is going out, cause it works when it wants to. can someone tell me how much a new one is, and if it is something i can get to, to fix myself. thanks

    oem-car-parts.com has one for 139.96. The service manual has a diagnostic check to see if it's the motor or the wiper transmission that's failing. You may just need some grease on the transmission.

    Genuine experience carries a lot more credibility than the ability to answer a question.

    its probably NOT the motor.

    first thing to check is the ground strap on on of the mouting bolts.
    basically, just tighten ALL the mounting bolts... one of them has a ground on it, but rather than tell you which it is, just tighten them all.
