Well guys i found i needed to replace the motor. I got one from Autozone for 55 bucks. I reinstalled everything and all is good except, the wipers in the interment position are straight up. I read some more on here i think i miss read where the cam goes on the motor shaft. So I will try it in interment position and not the park position. Thanks for the help on here. You guys saved me a ton a money

1. not very/yes
2. never seen the module replaced/need new motor(sometimes it's the wiper stalk)
3. autozone sells the motors
4. dealer?

where are you located, someone may be able to help
hi steve yes you are right it make sense udders full of leaves that make that place get full of water and of course wiper motor get wet and start to work bad,,i have replace two wiper motor thinking it was bad wiper motors but after to read your post of course it make sense if don't clean the udders water stay there getting wet the motor,now i.m gonna try cleaning udders and use a hair blower to dry motor although advance auto part have for 45.00$ ,,cheap,,anyway can I cut bottom of the udders? no to much just a hole to drain more water,,i appreciate any suggestion,,thanks
