Wiper motor's shorting.

Recommended Posts

Ok so after the first little fire I assumed it was one of the main battery +ve wires shorting out on the rod that connects the two wipers together, I moved it and it was sweet.

Today, after rolling the car out of the garage and back in again and NOT turning the master battery kill switch off, I smelt smoke. Turned around and the wiper motor is on fire. Lol.

I haven't touched it yet as I've been there all day and now CBF looking at the thing.

But, What do I look for? Must be some sort of constant power going to it right? It is melted to sh*t and made a big arse mess everywhere.

Any help would be great

Cheers

Certainly no constant power to the wiper motor. Must be something to do with your mishap yesterday

Yeah, didn't think there was. Anything I should be looking for or any way of diagnosing?
