1) Wiper Motor
Died a year ago. But haven't lived in snow for a year, so no biggy. No click, no sound, no stutter, dead. Motor is kaput I'm guessing. I've seen the vids and read the threads: PULL OUT THE STUPID SNEEZE IF YOU LOOK AT THEM TORX on the inside tub hinges. Undo front of soft-top of course. Fold windshield forward for the 93. Replace motor. Replace windshield channel (got a phoenix guy selling these for $30 new) on the windshield bend (mine is all flakes).
It should be semi-easy....I have new torx bits...and a ratchet... Please furnish additional tips if you have them--anything I should be on the lookout for?
Can I replace the soon-to-be-stripped-out Torx bolts with Grade 8?
Hopefully this problem is unrelated to next problem.
2) Wiper Squirter Motor on the Bottom of the WW Reservoir Bottle
Never functioned in the 8 years I've owned the Jeep. Never mattered. Lived in snow country (Flagstaff/Rimrock). Just needed wipers. Went to my Oreilly parts recently.
Got the part for the squirter motor sensor thingy (I don't know the correct name). Oreilly salesman walked out to the parking lot with me. I wanted to try the new squirter pump before purchase---he said it would work.
It didn't work. It was a simple plug-in part. Connections did not seem stuck or sticky or filthy. But no squirting water. No sound.
How do I diagnose the squirter motor? This is the only electrical prob in my Jeep. Should I take the voltmeter underneath the steering wheel and start checking resistances on the board?
Barring the slim chance the part he brought out didn't work, it doesn't appear the squirter wires are getting juice. Not good at electrical but can use my VM with good instructions.
Thanks to anybody for attempting to answer either of these questions. The failure of these two (related?) parts is 7 years apart so I don't see a coincidence. Maybe you do? This is a modest, cheap, and time-intensive project but would like to fix them both soon. Appreciate the input--Brent
