81 Wiper Motor
yes, I have used the search function.
Went to fire up the wipers in the light rain this morning, nothing. I have had the car for 3 years with no wiper problems. I opened to the hood and turned the switch on, to observe possible binding in the wiper arms. None was apparent, not movement at all, in fact. I did hear the click at the motor, as I turned the switch on to intermittent then low. I put my hand on the motor and felt the click at the connector, but observed no movement at the motor. The only thing I have yet to do is check for ground, which I will do when I get home. Ground has not been a problem to me in this car, and I've done a lot of electrical on it.
Odds on bad motor? And, having said that, the newer motors I've seen appear to have different wiring. Anyone with any experience?
Thanks,
MrM

MrM go to this link and do the test to confirm your motor is good. If the motor is good then we can help you from there.http://willcoxcorvette.com/instructi..._and_newer.jpg
Do you have the delayed wipers option ?
