Re: [T3] wiper motor


My '71's was pretty slow when I got it, so I took it out and chipped
out the grease in the motor and relubed it and all the linkage.  That
helped a lot.  After that, I had to replace the wiper switch because
the valve leaked and cleaned the push-on terminals.  That helped more.
Finally, went back to the fuse block and cleaned those terminals and
connectors.  That didn't help a whole lot, but was noticeable.  Even
after all that, high speed really isn't that high, but it's driveable
in heavy rain, which it certainly wasn't before.  You might want to
check the battery voltage, too.  Not sure what a '73 has for a wiper
switch, but mine has two speeds.  Bentley has the wiring diagrams,
yours might be mis-wired.  Just some things to check ouot.
