Default 80 wiper motor.... rebuild?

Did the beach test, and I can hear the internals clicking. But the motor is not moving. Guessing it's beat.
Is there a way to rebuild the motor? If not where can we get a reman, seen local shops have Cardone for $50 and some online websites have them for $93

Any thoughtsabout rebuilding or which place to get a reman?

Are you positive you tested it properly? It's not often these motors wear out and one reason I did the tech video on how to test them. Often we'd send out a new motor and the customer would call and tell us the motor did the exact same thing as the one he took out..... We'd then go pull the core and test it and find his original was working fine.

In regards to rebuild vs. buying a reman... Cardone has a good rebuilt motor and you'll save some money in time and labor. New is available too, so that's another option. https://willcoxcorvette.com/wiper-mo...-no-core-26563

If you haven't watched the video, here it is:

Thank you Wilcox, yes I followed the directions from the pic.
When I wire it up. You hear the clicking up next to the power and ground inputs but that's it.

Is anyone using the Cardone wiper motor? If so how long have you been using it?
